a magical new years eve....just me, the flu and my animals!

~don't worry rumi, i am not asleep~

~i am dizzy in my head~

Went to the fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Said she'd take a look at my palm
Said to me, "do you feel kind of warm?"
And she looked into her crystal ball
Said "You're in love."

Said it could not be so,
Not with all the girls I know.
Said when the next one arrives
Looking into her eyes.

TOMORROW I WILL LEAP BEFORE I THINK

Tomorrow, I will leap before I think,

for I am open~

to myself and to the world

to love and fear

to the sparkling light and magic of night

to balance

to those i cross paths with

to change, for it summons growth

to opportunity

to my power and to my weakness

to my courage and my hunger

to my beauty and my madness

to my body, soul and mind

in my body, soul and mind...

Tomorrow I will start to open doors,

doors I've closed

doors I've never believed I had the strength or worthiness to unlock

doors I've never imagined, much less seen, not even in a dream...

These words I promise, to myself, to you, and to the universe

I promise in my heart as the Ravens caw loudly to nudge me...

So here is to a new year, a new beginning,

I am open.

Written by me…….elkemay

On New Years Eve, 2010

inspired by my pa's words that i rediscovered today:

thought for today: think

thought for tomorrow: leap before you think

thought for yesterday: forget it

the last picture is just so beautiful. Elke you are the one who is wise and beautiful and dazzling - our father was just a man, he was faithful, kind generous and fun but just a man. I recognise the pain you are going through at his leaving, the shock you are in. I really hope that we will have the opportunity to meet and do some fun things together in this life not talking about the past. Love
