Beyond

How often do we listen to the rain, watching the drops dance on the pavement, hanging like crystals from the leaves? Often through our day, we may see our reflections. How often do we take an internal survey of what we think, how we feel and why? Our outer and inner senses offer so much to consider, if we take the time to be aware of what is beyond the surface. My husband writes with a similar thought pattern, so several of his writings have been included. It is a wonder gift to have someone to share life, heart and mind with. Life is not just a destination. It is a journey from moment to moment. Make each one count.

A deep love and respect for nature and all life was instilled by many years of summer camping while growing up. Being a teen in the 70's, the ideology of peace not war became part of my DNA. Moments of quiet solitude offered a time for reflection and appreciation of faith and simple blessings. These experiences are the core of my writing and artwork.
