in a quiet moment

quiet moment

in a quiet moment

if i could fly

i believe i can fly 2

if i could fly

sky and sea

sky and sea

skyandsea

 

quiet winter shore

quiet winter shore

a quiet winter shore

in stillness

roots and water

just listen in stillness

echoes of paradise

calling to the deepest

places in your heart

where oneness

awaits your surrender

a quiet bow of the head

on your knees

you listen in stillness

the eternal song

beckons you

to the peace

of forgiveness and rest

This is not my image. It was taken this summer by Keegan Adriance, the AY-MAY-ZING photographer for my oldest daughter’s wedding (http://gentandalady.com). I shared this on my personal Facebook page, but wanted to share it with my WordPress family as well. When the pictures were sent to us this one grabbed my attention and the words below are my reflections.

we danced under the stars that night
just like my heart danced
when i first held you

and the stars were singing then
as i sang my first lullaby for you
a father, daughter dance

we have been dancing
together
ever since i held
your tiny finger in my hand

i’d rather not let you go
but it’s alright
it’s okay
it seems the time has come
time to see you dance
and shine
oneness is your song

i’ll never forget
this father daughter dance
i’ll hum with the stars
as i watch you grow
dancing with your lover

Andrea
always remember
the stars are still singing
step into the story
of the dance
He is weaving

i am still holding you
i suppose in a way
in my heart
i’ll never stop dancing
the father, daughter
dance

a better yesterday

minooka sunset

yesterday is here again

let the confessions begin

i should have called

i should have smiled

moments void of love

Lord-  …please forgive me

at last the light fades

and the stars accompany my reflections

tomorrow will you sing for me

tomorrow i will make you

a better

yesterday
