The Lake

through you
I am all things
in your depths the world is quiet
I remember
I am silence
along your shore
waters warm
I remember
I am the heat of the sun
floating on your skin
caressed between your water
and sky
I breathe and I am buoyant
standing
feet buried in your sands
I am rooted
in water languid
in air spirit
when I swim
through your body
I am movement alive
we are
much the same
my body is earth
container of living waters
you flow with and around all you meet
a mutable dance
changing form
liquid ice mist
honoring always the substance of who you are enduring endlessly through all whom you nurture...

This beautiful photo and poem are from Tammie Lee's Spirithelpers blog...
Tammie has a true gift for seeing nature in all her glory and Spirithelpers is one of my favorite places to go to get in touch with Spirit...
her photography is over-the-top wonderful...
add her words and chances are you'll be feeling Spirit too.
She is a gentle gift.


I send you here to share the joy.

Lovely Lady Julie,
I forgot you were going to post this. I felt utterly surprised and pleased when I saw this. This feels like the best way to award someone. If I could hug you, I would!

I think I am writing this with my other blogs link... tricky going back and forth with different blogs.

Wishing you a lovely weekend.
My heart bows to you for connecting with me. xo

I love the poem and will visit her blog! It really is beautiful and the picture calms the spirit! I am so excited about you being in the book! There is nothing like seeing your work published! I will try to pick one up next month. I have had to cut back on my book buying, but this looks like a must get!
That was the best definition for Folk art! Yes, I agree with you about the future and how the work will be looked upon.

Tammie, I'm glad you're pleased. I felt the hug. Heart bowing back..
Gypsy, Yes, visit Tammie often..Yes, being in the book is making me happy...yes, do get a copy, it's beautiful...artist from all over the world. It's discounted on Amazon. I liked the definition too...we do what women have always done, create with our hands using what's at hand...and most of what we do could be done in a circle.
Nicole, it is truly my pleasure.
hug,hug
