Snap



Snap


out of it
change your mind
just get on with it
be happy
grateful
everything is gonna be alright

trying
trying
trying

learning to snap as child
must be taught

here is how you do it
finger slides on finger

little sounds at first
right hand easier than left
 watch it progress
hear the small sound

practice
practice
                                          practice, and then you have it

can't be broken down into little lessons
slide the fingers just so

what is the success?
a tiny noise----finger sliding sound

 snap
 snap  
                                                                       snap, now it is done technique mastered

never forget, like riding a bike
the action itself, friction

a tiny choreographed finger dance
snap, snap, snap

and what is next
does the pain subside?

are the lessons learned?
the fears are still there

it was not alright
can it be again?

such a temporary thing
snap, snap, snap

have I gotten anywhere?
yes

out of it, no
used to it------more

knowing what is coming----sort of

snap, snap, snap

The First Switch, hand to cheek

The Size of Switzerland Compared to the US Three Swiss Kisses....  Let me explain the name of my blog. In 2014 after living in the Atlanta, GA area almost my whole life, I moved to a beautiful tiny little country (the picture shows teenie, tiny Switzerland as it compares to the huge US) that I knew very little about with my husband and three children. It was such a stunning country, even from the plane. The sunflower faces beckoned, swaying slightly in the wind between the mountains and the most beautiful almost ocean sized lake I have ever seen. It was a whole new life, just beginning. Half of my life has been lived at this point and it was both scary and lovely to start over in a whole new world. We will come back to that start over part, little did I even suspect.There were so many things that struck me in this breathtaking place. I could write pages and pages (and may well do so) about the contrast between the giant United States and little tiny Switzerland. The Sw...

What I didn't tell you

What I didn’t tell you is the friend I saw today is dying His family has abandoned him and I am his only friend He denies his pain to look strong until it hurts so much he lashes out at me He wants to die, he wants to live, he does not know which world to put his feet in I feel his pain, I think of myself, what if I was all alone and dying, wouldn’t I want a me? My other friends all four years new, tell me it is too much, step away, I need to be there for my kids What I didn’t tell you is that while I watch my friend, his legs sticking out from the gown, whittled like wood more and more each day, I am tortured by the man I loved I am watching nature destroy my friend while I am trying my best not to be destroyed by an unnatural human force, the father of my children What I didn’t tell you is that my children are no longer with me daily, their plans are made without me, I am not even considered as an afterthought, just sometimes a taxi ride I was successful a...

Peace of Now

I believe in rainbows, I have seen them and been in awe of them. Did God make them as a promise? I don’t want to think about them in that context and the world being destroyed.. I won’t. I want to admire the beauty and the science behind them, but still the magic I do believe in Angels and the feathers they leave and the direction and peace they can give They have kissed my skin with love and care, leaving marks as a remembrance Visual daily reminders of those who love me in heaven and those who love me here We have power within us, a great power that some have learned to use for good, others for evil, so selfish and so confused Mine is back and I will share again. And those of you that need to take pieces, please do And those of you who wish to destroy it, you simply will not, you will not strip it from me again. I am meant for a greater purpose and I need the power to to achieve that purpose There is a snowglobe that contains it, but it is not pure glass, it is...
