If Life is a Journey
It has many Paths for all of us on it.
I once took the Straight and Narrow Path
but found it so Narrow I could not walk beside
my brothers and sisters in this Life,
Now my Path may curve and even be bumpy,
and strewn with hazards seen and unseen.
But I walk with my Beloved, side by side
our hands intertwined in Harmony.
I walk beside brothers and sisters,
all Creations of the Divine One.
I now walk a new Path that is really an Ancient Path,
so Wide that you can see to Eternity,
and I am happy.

Written for my Husband on June 23, "03"
Kindred spirits drift away,
like clouds on a windy day.
Truths unfolded, were they better left
amongst the shadows?
Inside the Broom Closet and the cobwebs spun,
Friendly spiders can be found …
Better than the hurts caused when you find out whom
is in truth your friend?
When in all honesty you speak.
So love covers a multitude of sins?
Or does it cover only yours?
My Path is not yours to take,
nor yours to judge.
A friend is supposed to love at all times,
But that is the real truth isn’t it?
My friend you never were,
and never will be again.
Peace in my heart of hearts, Peace in my Path.
Love from within and without, from those who count.
So mote it be.

The days keep going by, but I feel as if I am static.
I am so despondent and my bones are weary...
My mind won't work the way I want and need it to,I want to come out of the Fibro fog.
I feel lost yet know I am found.The Path is easier, the Journey so long.My loved ones are so caring, yet my friends are long gone....They cannot handle my Path.
It chose me, She chose me, I am glad in it.Sacrifices must be made, as hard as they may be sometimes.I am still grieving my Mother's Passing Over,The depth of my loss affects my health.
My enemies are known and unknown.Protection candles burn, I see my reflection as if far away.
I am rediscovering myself daily,Yet feel as if I lost a part of me somewhere.I do not know if I want that part of myself back...
Or if what will fill that empty space insidewill be a better me.
I am so tired and heartsick..

In my life, I find that the really important things are:
Faith in the Divine,
Living out my faith, daily.
The love of and for my beloved husband,
Spending time with my children,
Reading good books, thus expanding the spirit and wisdom,
Digging in the blessed Earth, planting seeds for new life.
Sinking roots deep into the Earth our Mother;
Thereby gaining growth from her and giving back to her as well.
Sinking roots for my Family,
Creating a home where
they can feel safe and warm in an unstable world.
Giving help to the helpless,
Hope to the hopeless,
Being a real friend in days of sunshine and rain.
To be nurturing, loving, and caring;
To make a real difference, in this my life.
Leaving a mark that will stand for the ages, so people can say…
She was here.
Not fortune and fame, but love and caring.
That is what I think is the important things.
