Cycles ebb flow inhale exhale expand contract Night gives way to early morning, birdsong and daylight. The sun rises high in the sky building to a crescendo of life and activity. Then it slowly relaxes sinking to the horizon we move inside close doors moving back into night New moon gives way to a sliver of light, growing steadily to a full round orb, then slowly releases -- back to the sliver then gone, new moon once again. Winter, the world rests. Slowly, the days lengthen. Early spring flowers harken the change. Bright shiny green unfurls in the world. Energy builds. Spring gives way to the deep greens of summer, hot lazy days, the peak of ripeness. Summer fades, leaves turn to shades of yellow, brown, orange, red soon blowing away leaving the stark nakedness of winter. We draw in, hibernate, wait... ebb flow inhale exhale expand contract

Poetry
Wisdom and Life Lessons

Welcome

I've been writing blogs on the internet since 2007. Like my life, my words have wandered from Wisdom or Life Lessons and Wellness, to Gardening and Aquaponics. After my son’s death by suicide in 2016, Poetry became a big piece of my world as I tried to make sense of the tragedy of his death.

In truth, his death took me into my own journey with darkness. I've shared a bit during the last ten years but nothing in comparison to what I've written. Only recently have I started to climb back into life and the desire to share my writing.

These days, my writing is varied and inspired by the moment. I participate in two writing group, one where we write to prompts from a book by Judy Reeves called A Writer’s Book of Days: A Spirited Companion and the other where we journey and then write about our experience or about the wisdom gained. Much of this writing is buried in journals in my office. As I move forward, Some of that will be found under Stories, Magic and the Mystical.

How do you read this jumble of topics? You can read what’s latest, type a word into Search and see what comes up, or select a Topic from the Blog Content below. However you read, I hope you enjoy.

Blessings, Victoria
