Happy Renewal!

If seasons help us to remember that we too must change, this is the greatest one! I love spring because it takes me away from death! That cold, dark, monotonous winter is gone for good! Well... at least for now!

And as I am a kind of pagan by heart, I love to celebrate the resurrection of gardens, warm days - and of myself! Those are the biggest changes! Our own rebirth! Mother Nature is just telling me, once again, to lift my chin up and breathe... breathe... and move on!

It's Spring Time!  Finally!


I am renewing things around here: not only objects around the house, but emotions inside myself. With a certain object go its memories, unnecessary and painful memories some times. Even the good memories can be painful, when there is no hope for them to materialize again!

There are still a dark shirt in my drawer... a CD, a couple of pictures and a few other relics, and several emails that must go. That's just the beginning. The most difficult part are the ghosts - those memories! - that keep knocking on my door. Eventually they will go, too...

Emptiness is what must remain - so there will be space for the new. For the rebirth.

Emptiness

Coming from the past

is now only this feeling

memories at their best,

waiting for some healing.

It's a weird sensation

not to be alone, but lonely

First was exhilaration

now, emptiness only.

I guess it's good to feel a little "hollow" sometimes! Then, comes a ...

Storm Renovation

Clay under water spout

survived the drought.

There comes the wash out...

sudden energy taking away

useless pray,

a pout...

You built this ridge.

Now, it's all water

under the bridge.

Happy Changes to All of You!
