Time...lets get this right!

I enjoy water, the beach fascinates me, and there is the freedom and individuality of the waves, which inspires peace and energy together.

While chatting with my eldest son today and reminiscing on our travels, we recalled a good family friend and smiled. A couple hours later, via Facebook we learnt of his departure from this world. How are you doing for time...can you give me a moment of your time?

Let me share a poem with you. Its something written in 2009, and reminds me, that life is precious, and people need time. More than anything else, lets remember to share time.

Good bye dear friend

We grieve for the dead

but have no time for the living.

Keeping promising tomorrow is available today.

Never really accepting

our immortality.

No time exists, to see today.

I grieve for my friend who I had not seen.

Never making a moment in this life

in my time.

Now time plays a joke and a kind heart

I will no longer see.

Cause as faith goes, so does life

we never know.

So I grieve for my friend gone for so long

but alive when my time was busy

I cannot share my gratitude

or the pleasure received.

When our paths crossed.. you were really

a great friend to me.

I will never forget, though your image will fade

and maybe one day

I'll be blessed

to see you in the heavens

smiling across at me

sharing dreams and hopes

your life was real.

I cannot remember a time

when you did not have time

to stop by and just say hello.

I can't remember a time you failed to encourage me

to walk brave on my very narrow road

I remember all the things that I thought I'd one day share

and say what a great friend you were.

Now you sleep

and will not rise to see

the sun, the rain, the stars

the sky.

But my heart remembers

with joy

who you were

when you were here

Good Bye my Friend

I'm wondering again what can I share, write and say to this new community of wonderful, inspiring people - that's you, I'm speaking about. Social Media can be whatever we want it to be, if we engage, share, communicate and discuss with each other. We can enrich each other by connecting in this time!

When the waves rush to the shore they taper out, meeting the friendly sand and rocks. This is repeated continuously, in many different ways, never coming to an end. The wave just happy to meet its friend the shore!

Thank you for reading. Lets engage with each other by liking, commenting, sharing, increasing the value of our words and communication!

Let's Talk... A Love That Lasts

The courage to carry “To have a love that lasts forever, is to truly understand vows and commitment” (Eversley,2016) In all of my forty six years of life I have waited for the commitment of true love. To really believe that there are people in this world who can cherish and care for another romantically has become a faded dream. A dream which has been archived into the fantasy part of my mental library. The love stories of long marriages which are not abusive or filled with indiscretions seem ancient. The new lifestyle sets a pathway to divorces which have become their own academy awards on film. Acceptance of prenuptial agreements and exit clauses are now necessary when thinking of love – whether in a celebrity career or leading a nondescript livelihood. To this end I did weep when I read from a friend and learned of his devotion, marriage and love for his wife. Let’s be real, and understand this is a true ongoing story of endurance, commitment, passion fo...

Swirling Thoughts

Photo Credits: unsplash.com/Marek Okon You got me stumped, Now I must think. How can I even contemplate, the idea of swirling? Its either an ice-cream being swirled in a mix, Or maybe it’s some plasticine, Made from rows of colored sticks? I’m not sure if I got this one, And I’m not sure if I can see, If anything around can swirl into my brain, Just to make sense of this word ‘swirl’ for me. At first I thought maybe its dancing, With my skirt swirling around my knees, But suddenly realized I’d fall flat on my face If some swirling really took place! Considering next a few splashes of paint Thrown on a paper to create a design, Suddenly that swirl made a lot of sense Understanding right before my eyes. So okay Eugenia, think I’ve got a writing plan And a way to take swirl ‘mainstream’. Kindly make it a little easier, for me to think again Cause this one, is hodgepodge on my screen! 26/03/2021 Thank You for stopping ...

A Meadow Of Grace

The grassy bed up on the hill. Was a place to escape For my daily thrill. To go outside away from it all Was my secret place With everyone around. The space alone was under a tree, With only the lizards to bother me. You can see the grotto, Where the priests would pray. It was a sanctuary, A place I wanted to stay. You can call it a meadow, because of the ground It’s what comes to mind if meadows are to be found. Yet still if I consider My Scottish retreat many years ago, I walked through some meadows, And never wanted to go home. The air was very different, from my tropical breeze, The birds and the sky seemed to envelope me. Every moment I was able to run wild and free, Was a moment I rejoiced for the blessing from Thee. Blessed beyond measure, to discover another secret place, Made for me by Jesus, a meadow of grace. 8/06/2021 Inspired by a prompt from Eugi’s Causerie . Thank you for stopping by. Please shar...
