You and I, my friend, are we really all that different? Do we not share the same fears, worries, concerns? Do we not have the same needs--water, food, shelter, love? Do we not ponder the same mysteries, ask the same questions? Come walk with me for awhile. Tell me what you see so that I might better understand the shared existence between you and I. Lean on me while I feel strong, for the day will come when I am the one that will need you, your strength, your hope, your insight and wisdom, and most of all, your love.
Hold my hand, my sweet, such that I might feel the beat of your heart and likewise you mine. Let our hearts beat in harmony to a wisdom beyond words, a wisdom seen in the sparkle of an eye in the moonlight, standing on that bridge that overlooks the ocean. Smell the fresh ocean air. Listen to the crashing of the waves and feel the cool air through your hair. As I said last November, Fear not the fall, what my arms might miss, my heart will catch.

Ooooo, I like that T... Very nice!
Thank you Y. Can I get you a cup of coffee?
Wow, absolutely beautiful post Trée.
Thanks Deb. Sometimes the image just demands that a post be written for it. What can I say, this one held me hostage until I produced. :-D
Look at you being all sweet and romantic. You need to give lessons to other men.
Well, dear Linny, your postings of late, your quest to align fate with destiny, to set right the powers that be--and Phil--(not sure which would be more difficult), have inspired my mood. May good karma walk by your side, at least until I can get down there. :-D
what beautiful writing...just what i needed to hear today...thank you.
Meander, so good to know I wasn't leaving the light on in vain. ;-) You're welcome to come and spend as much time here as you like when you feel the need to get away. Peace my friend. :-)
Awww, lots of cream and sugar please...!! :-D
Give me a minute dear while I whip up some fresh cream. Sugar is always in supply here. :-D
"Fear not the fall..."
...and cast away demons to faith alone? Trust completely?
Oh, how I hesitate at the edge of this precipice?
Tell me what you see. Tell me, have you leapt? Will you leap? What is on the other side?
Dare I go blindly with but a hand to hold? With only a heartbeat in my ears?
Yes.
Blindly is the best way.
Blindly, into the light.
My dear Aggie, if you were here right now I would kiss you, if for no other reason than to take you away from words and thoughts and into another realm that those things can't reach. Close your eyes and "feel" the flow. Like a slow moving river, allow that flow to gently pull you away from the banks of conceptual worry and concern. I think there might be a sleeping bag somewhere along the way too. :-D
Sleeping bag accepted.
I have been avoiding the conceptual for far too long now. It is time to dive into that particular river. I think I must swim in order to cross. I have been standing on the south shore believing the north would come to me somehow.
No worries. I am well...just pondering very deeply. The moon still counts for a lot. ;)
Aggie, always know that moon at 10pm will always be there for you. No one else will ever have the 10pm slot. Now, 9pm and 11pm are still open, but 10pm is all yours. :-D
That is just lovely, bbb. Makes me want to clear off the kitchen table.
Oooh, if I had known that you would have seen this post a long time ago. :-D
Hope you are having a great weekend bbb. :-)
Beautiful words :). And I can see a strongmasculine/feminine presence in the image.
I'm dreaming...
Chicky, thanks for the kind words. My first impression with this image was father and son, but my heart told me to write what it saw. They say we see the world not as it is but as we are. If true, I suppose what folks see in these images is really a window into their soul. Happy Sunday my friend. :-)
Beautiful :-)
Have a great weekend!
Thank you Karen. May we both have a little rain soon. :-D
what my arms might miss, my heart will catch.
love the sentiment in this line.. yes, we all have the same needs but different methods of reacting.
Thanks Kandykane. So true, many paths to the top of the mountain or the bottom of the sea as the case may be. :-)
So good to see you stopping by again.
You seem to have figured out where to go. And the words go well. Keep it up.
I hope you are having a great weekend, hon.
DJB, these images are still mostly trial and error and persistence more than know-how. I've started spending more time with the editor and playing with individual transforms and their variation values, scale, rotation and weight. I can't say I really know what I am doing so much as just trying and trying until I see something that looks interesting. If I don't like a certain change I hit the undo and try again.
As always, thanks for the kind words. Hope and trust you are doing well.
Hey BBB! The weather here is hot and I do like it hot. Think I need to do some sweating today. Want to come, with me? I do have a spare bike. :-D
Your heart is a dreamcatcher, a feelingkeeper, a peoplesaver. Your heart is a special place. Keep it safe for everyone who loves you. They need to hear it beating.
I could say the very same thing about you Liz. Sometimes I wonder if you know just how special you are. I see the love between the words of your daily postings--a love without clothing, a love pure and without agenda. Thanks for being my friend and for giving me so many gifts with the power of a few simple words that have so much more meaning than I know how to convey. :-)
I loved that last line the first time I read it, the first time I heard it and still :-)
What a truly beautiful post - this is what it is all about, me today, you tomorrow, realizing we are all the same, everyone needs, everyone hurts (think I am quoting an REM number now..:) and each of us has the power to help, and rather than cost us, we gain. As I've said to you a thousand times, you have a way with words that just cut straight to the chase and to the heart, poetry, beautiful heart, beautiful soul, in short, you're beautiful :-), xo
(PS Posted a short post about the concert, not what I would have like to have written, but that may still come up)
Hope you're having a great Sunday!
Brilliant review Sunshine! Loved every word, which I've already read multiple times and cut and pasted to the offical message boards under this concert. Your review put the other ones to shame. :-)
As I drive down the road I often ask myself what all the other souls out driving want and I have to believe, at the end of the day, their answers would not really be all that different from mine. Not their surface answers, but what really rested at the foundation of their existence.
Right now what I want is more discussion on the concert! Just kidding, plenty of time for that and your review was just splendid. Thanks so much for finding a way to get that posted today. Very much appreciated. :-)
Beautiful..."what my arms might miss, my heart will catch". That is just so beautiful.
Thank you Oliviah. This line came from the post back in November that launched the story of Kyra and Zeke. It might just be my most significant post in light of what came from it--a 100+ post sci-fi story (with 143 images in support), which will probably come back again soon. :-)
"Fear not the fall, what my arms might miss, my heart will catch"
Poetry in motion..............
Thanks Helen. I did mean every word. :-)
Likewise, Trée, I am there for you.
Freedom from fear is the goal. Holding each other as we jump into oblivion is the journey.
I hope this doesn't embarass you, but I hold great love and respect for you.
I hope our journeys will intersect in person someday.
Sincerely,
David
David, I am honored and would welcome the opportunity to meet some day. I can imagine the conversation over dinner and wine in my mind as clear as if it just happened. Peace my friend. Oh, and we only live five hours away so a meeting is not out of the realm of possiblity. :-)
Oh, I'm late with my comments - but those words touch me as they convey a sentiment that I cannot adequately express right now.
I've just got back from your country :-)
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful post.
Leigh, welcome back. Hope our country treated you well.
Thanks for the very kind words on this post. Sometimes the words just flow and I don't really have to think much about what I'm writing. This was one of those kind of posts. :-)
Well, it was expressed so beautifully! It was nice to come back and read it all and see your lovely fracs.
And yes, your country treated me exceptionally well!
I cycled, too - it was wonderful. I'll post up some photographs and stories soon... Once I get myself together - if there's such a thing? ;-)
Leigh, can't wait to see the photos and hear the details of your trip. Are you trips here business or pleasure?
They are both! But more pleasure than anything. I've always loved your country so much.
Leigh, so nice to hear. America and Americans are not the most loved in the world.
