Life stands upon a knife's edge within the eye of a needle rising upon our tiptoes in the endless pursuit of beauty ~ Caroline A. Slee

Idylls
A world seemingly unreal Waits for our eyes to see As we wander - Lost or with purpose - Always blindly Beauty rises with the sun And clouds fall below the mountains The sky opens into day Spectacular and breathtaking A world waits For our notice As the days unfurl As the East is reeled … Continue reading Idylls
Finding Peace #MondayBlogs
The demands of life Ask that we never pause, never stop We mistake work without ceasing For virtue and character While nature keeps her pace Blooming and fading On her own cycle As we push and race And keep our heads down But, oh, how we miss these quiet wonders They wait for us to … Continue reading Finding Peace #MondayBlogs
Magic Managed
It is not mischief To plant a garden To nurture blooms To chase the sun Instead it is A lovely magic Quiet fire To bring still land Into abundant life And let it spread Far and wide For beauty To be shared ~ Caroline A. Slee
When Darkness Falls #wwwblogs
Magic will rise Misunderstood and feared But casting beauty For eyes that see miracles When darkness falls Our power lights a soft sun Resting calm In a garden bathed by lady moon With earth soft Against the soles of our feet The world unguarded Tranquil Far removed from the mayhem Beneath the glaring Light of … Continue reading When Darkness Falls #wwwblogs

"Brevity is the … Continue reading Friday Philosophy…Dorothy Parker

Thursday! Always More Gratitude…
I'm still loving everyone's photos for "throwback Thursday." One day, I may even post one. 🙂 We have been struck by the 110 degree weather now, so I have been relegated to indoor workouts (and swimming) only. I can't deny the convenience factor of being able to hop on the treadmill first thing in the … Continue reading Thursday! Always More Gratitude…
Breast Cancer and the Burlesque Dancer…#MondayBlogs
As counter-intuitive as it may sound, it can be hard to identify with being a feminist when you are going through treatment for breast cancer. When the attributes that differentiate you as a "female" are working strongly against you, when you barely feel like you are a female at all - instead just a mass … Continue reading Breast Cancer and the Burlesque Dancer…#MondayBlogs
