beyond the breath of time that pulls us toward #death's hush & punishes with #hindsight’s weight our course stays drawn to the same source: not the stars not the far-off meteors but a light deep within that wakes the mind & nests in simple words revealing what was always there #vss365 #BlueSkyRelay

- the fall from Grace was more than a body could endure more than a throne disintegrating into splinters beneath the stoic stars of god dreams shattered fractured into furious shards that bounced briefly, then vanished drowned beneath the weight of unshed tears. - #vss365 #poetry #skypoetry

I return to my waterfall chambers, The one which grows yet falls… It’s been a year, Everything’s frozen over…almost… Icicles take the form of flowers, Do they also reproduce or simply, Replicate? I wish I didn’t need to return, I need to get rid of the rain… ©️Camellia #poetry

The tree does not end at its skin but exists also in the rain that falls downwind, many miles from the forest. In the seed exists the acorn, the oak, and the shade. Stephen Harrod Buhner, Sacred Plant Medicine: The Wisdom in Native American Herbalism Books can help heal! #herbs #weyekin #nature

Happy Monday! Today, I’m no longer thinking about all the disasters and ugliness of this world. I’ve decided to open my eyes to the infinite beauty that surrounds us. Wishing everyone a beautiful week, as light as a snowflake!

#vss365 #prompt #guess It’s odd how we thrive in uncertainty. Life is a series of choices, right or left, and we but passengers along for the ride. That, while scary, is also invigorating. We live wild and alive, not knowing what is ahead The word prompt for today is guess.

#vss365 #prompt #resolution Happy New Year! A joyful 2025 to everyone. What makes a new start even better? A resolution. The word prompt for the day is resolution. Dreams of a better you, a new year, of hope.

in the clouds crystals grow stellar sifting soft and slow settling snow the gentle hush faces flush a pinkish glow it's at this moment I know the purity of love below and above and standing before me with eyes that adore me a world bathed in white reflecting your light #vss365

silence-on-a-whisper is my mood... in a world where the volume threshold seems too loud... just sit with me... and the gemini moon... as night crushes into morning... ©dww - Memoir WIP #vss365 #threshold #WritingCommunity

at the #threshold silence #bends where words are born only to fade a river of language runs & in its course you learn that you are but the speech that carries you towards hungry ocean & you cannot grasp how to halt the quiet beneath unspoken yet burning within #vss365 #inkMine

#acrylic #painting Titled Lahaina Massacre #art #artistofbluesky #OPruntyArtWorks It took me 4 months to paint this 16x20, canvas painting. I had to keep stopping because of how emotional it was to paint. It is for sale on Amazon.

Across the #threshold & carved stone steps led down to a heavily barred iron gate. Inside, once golden walls scarred with the age-old rust of overused chains, radiated pain & despair. Damp & decay mingled with the putrid stench of the dead, their tortured souls, denied redemption, lingered. #vss365
