Passionate, stubborn, giving…
Sarcastic, funny, fun-loving
Driven, loving, balanced…
Friendly, inquisitive, outgoing,
I've been told that I'm feisty
Sometimes crazy…
Seeking to be flexible,
like the willow branch.
Weathering the toughest storms
because it knows when to bend,
yet how to remain strong in the face
of even the strongest challenges.

I'm an educator by trade, and I'm forever
wanting to know why and how and what…
I suppose I can be exhausting at times -
those who know me would tell you that's true.
I get excited about watching a bunch of ants
as they carry a worm down the sidewalk…
or having a swan eat a cracker out of the palm
of my hand.
I am a big child at heart, and I still use crayons.
Won't you get your crayons out and color with me?!?

“Found on a Celestial Seasonings tea box just now:

“By the Sea” by Joan Anderson:

I must live a little each day, greet the sun as it rises and revel in its setting, swim naked, sip coffee and wine by the shore, generate new ideas, admire myself, talk to animals, meditate, laugh, risk adventures. I must try to be soft, not hard; fluid not rigid, tender, not cold; find rather than seek. I have been embraced by the sea, tested by its elements, emptied of anxiety, cleansed with fresh thought. In the process, I have recovered myself.”

What a nice collection of thoughts… a way to be.
Won't you join me as I grow and learn and live?
Thanks to all of you who have given so freely of yourselves…
I am having a wonderful time here on Gaia!

This clip of Paul McCartney singing Little Willow has really touched me…
I saw it first in one of  ange's blogs… a gentle reminder to be flexible during the seasons of life.

“Sleep little willow
Peace gonna follow
Time will heal your wounds
Grow to the heavens
Now and forever
Always came too soon.”

Mr. Edward Magorium: No. We breathe. We pulse. We regenerate. Our hearts beat. Our minds create. Our souls ingest. 37 seconds, well used, is a lifetime.
 
Your life is an occasion, rise to it.
Such wise words…
There's not moment like the present one.

“And we must face tomorrow, whatever it may hold, with determination, joy and bravery.”
~Mr. Magorium
