Angels and Oysters

Angels and Oysters


An angel pendant received as protection from hell

Then I remembered the devil was an angel who fell

And Jesus loved a prostitute

Just sitting here trying to make it  all compute

Pain in waves and crocodile tears

Good for the soul to review the years

Accept and embrace and learn from the past

The world is our oyster but it will not last

The journey is to learn the wonders of heaven

Not white and gold, but love times seven

Our path is here and not in the sky

To teach ourselves and others what to do before we die

The hardest task ever---acceptance of true mind

Our Pain is the contrast to the exquisite joy we will find

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.

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...

Eights and Circles

Bats and caves and really small spaces Hands to hold and smiles on faces Round and round in the grass we go Form a circle, no one says no Figure eights with our bodies, message for the soul For the child deep inside to play a role The frustration and fear are trumped by passion and awe Just listen to you heart and answer the call Ashes to ashes we all fall down Pick yourself up and spin round and round

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...
