Blue Venus II
Waves
of
inspiration
flow
from
hearts
that
love
~
On Monday I received an email from my dear friend, Monica,
a very special lady I first crossed paths with in the fall of 2010.
Facing similar challenges, Monica and I found the gift of friendship
after meeting on an internet medical support forum. Since that time,
we have become sisters of the soul… And, for this, I’m so grateful.
After admiring Resa’s spectacular masterpiece art-gown Blue Venus this weekend,
Monica sent me a wonderful poem she composed, explaining
that she was inspired by the stunning gown, combined with
the spirit she envisioned I would wear it.
I am deeply touched by her graceful heart, and
wanted to share her poetic healing words with each of you today.
Paired with a shadow self-portrait, please enjoy this 3rd level
of artistic inspiration born of Resa’s Blue Venus;
Truly captivating verse, crafted by a very
talented poetess, and
beautiful friend.
Thank you
Monica!
With so much Love
~
Robyn Lee
~
Wrapped in clouds and sky
her footfall gentle on the sand
eyes shining with bravery
trailing tranquility in her wake.
~
Garbed in shimmering blue
Grecian goddess dancing
with iridescent fish from the sea
to the melody of hope and love.
~
Floating in sapphire silk,
singing to the ocean and stars
the wind answers back
as she walks like the night, in beauty.

So happy you enjoyed the new additions here today: Monica’s poem and the shadow portrait that I thought most represented what wearing Blue Venus on beach might be like
02/20/2013 at 23:07
What a lot of fun you are Robyn! I keep looking, and I just can’t get over how gorgeous your “Blue Venus”, your blue shadow on the beach is! xo -RM

What a great friend, beautiful poem and it fits you. It seems correct… Thank you Monica for loving Robyn. Hugs to you Robyn, feeling energy positive today? I sense you have it coming your way… Love-Sheri
02/20/2013 at 21:03
Thanks so much dearest Sheri ~ yes – this poem was such spontaneous treasure to recieve. Monica has been sending me mail and care packages while I’m away ~ and while she is dealing with challenges of her own. She is a special friend indeed and so forutnuante we met across this technologoy. Thank you for hugs too Sheri — I am spiritually in a good place but physically it’s not going as well as I’d hoped….Although I am mastering the techniques here — seems body rejecting a lot of the work (rebounding) and theory is there may be more obstacles that have not been defined. Keeping hopeful ~ maybe I’m in “belly of the whale” and will triumph yet? Hope you are doing well over there yourself — are you feeling stronger and ajusting to meds management plan… Keeping you in heart always ~ X RL
02/20/2013 at 23:21
These beautiful words amazed me…. love the image too Robyn.
Love & hugs,
mei

What a beautiful, loving, inspiring poem … and it does ‘fit’ you so wonderfully, Robyn! I adore the blue sapphire shadow photo – a picture of grace and elegance that is absolutely you! Love this. ~ Gentle hugs and lots of love, Julie xoxox
02/20/2013 at 21:27
Oh Julie ~ so happy you enjoyed it. Know Monica will love your own poetry and although she does not blog (still working on her) she does write stunning poetry herself – so will refer her to your blog for sure!! Thank you for your compliment on the shadow portrait too ~ it was done this past summer and I never used it — but when I saw the dress, it occurred to me that this photo could represent me in such a magical elegant gown.. Thank you so much sweet friend ~ means a lot and am sending you hugs and love right back ~ x RL
02/21/2013 at 01:50
Love this!
02/20/2013 at 21:31
Oh thank you so much S & C ~ soooo appreciate and delighted you enjoyed it
~ x R
02/21/2013 at 01:51
That is certainly a poem for you all right – fantastic!
02/20/2013 at 22:25
Aww – thank you Julie ~I was tickled to be honest ~ Monica made some magic with her words here. So grateful! Sending Love ~ x R
02/21/2013 at 01:53
Both are beautiful-i love the intense blue. i missed one -it may have been the Venus because when I clicked to read more I got to your site and it said “whoops! Sorry that page is not available.” So good to be able to see your site again.Tee Hee!
02/20/2013 at 23:04
Thank you dear Jane… it is an amazing shade of blue… I agree! Interesting about my site connection — wonder what WP was up too then… So glad you are back here , and thrilled you enjoyed this!! x RL
02/21/2013 at 01:56
Two great verses or poems on one post… wonderful.. great that you have the support and friendship with such a talented person… your sharing must be fantastic… I’ve read a bit on FB about what your trying to achieve and to be fairly honest I understand some of it but not all… but I see what you are trying to achieve and I hope you get there… love to you all…
02/20/2013 at 23:24
Aww thank you lovely friend. Yes – something about connecting with others in friendship — and to be able to collaborate and share this way is even richer, I agree. Monica has similar issues – and we had our hip surgeries nearly the same time… so lots of bonding for us girls over these years. The blessings that are born of difficult times – makes you think.. Thank you for caring too bd ~ yes complicated to some degree… basically trying to learn to live with broken parts… but seems my case may even more complex than I thought. I am learning so much here about proper neruomuscular control of muscles and joints… just have not encountered my miracle yet — will keep trying!!! Lots of Love ~ x RL

It is so good to know that there is a compensation for the challenges you have to face – such wonderful friends.
I hope you can all continue to be the wind beneath each other’s wings as time goes by warm wishes, Valerie

i’m still in between the words of this beautiful poem ~~ and such a stunning picture! much love xxo
02/21/2013 at 01:41
Thank you so much dear Poojy ~ “in between the words…” that is exactly how I felt when I first read it — sort of swimming in her eloquent flow of verse…. and also touched you liked the shadow photo of me ~ thought it might represent me in this gorgeous dress Blue Venus ~ Resa certainly started some “waves” here with her generous heart…. Sending love your way sweet friend ~ x RL
02/21/2013 at 02:15
Thank you everyone for such wonderfully warm comments about my poem to Robyn and about our cherished friendship. Truthfully, it was remarkably easy to compose a poem about Robyn — she, just by being her angelic self, is a captivating and magical muse (and Resa’s “art dress” was lovely inspiration as well) – the words just emerged effortlessly. I am grateful to all of you for being an endearing and supportive part of Robyn’s life – I know the blogging community she is part of means a lot to her. And I am overjoyed that so many others also see the radiance, grace, and pure love that is Robyn’s soul – she is one who makes a difference in the world just by being in it.

Oh Monica ~~ you are here!! Thank you for your heartfelt and wonderful words to all my amazing blog friends … in many ways these guys/gals are like an extended family, and am so happy to introduce you through this fantastic medium and your poetry. I know they will be so happy to read your loving comment. I love this poem so much — and now am just thrilled to have it here displayed in my blog — posted for all to see and for me to revisit whenever I need a lift. I still love the concept of this ‘contagious inspiration’ –Resa designing the gown and then the waves that seemed to flow from that initial spark. Monica – so grateful to have you in my life ~ and all the radiance you see in me is merely a reflection of your own — you do know that, right? ~ Love you much !! xo
02/21/2013 at 22:05
Oh, this is beautiful! Your friend is certainly talented!
02/21/2013 at 22:27
Thank you so much Fergi ~ yes, Monica is a talent and a wonderful and treasured friend too ~ Sending you lots of love ~ Robyn
02/25/2013 at 18:32
What a beautiful tribute to you, dear Robyn….and I love the blue-purplish tint to the image….hope its all helping to heal….xoxmeryl
02/22/2013 at 13:39
Yes, was such a nice surprise — all of this lovely art ~ really helped brighten my darker days here. So glad you liked my treatment of the shadow image too ~ wanted to keep in line with the “blue” ~ and seemed to remind me of Resa’s custom designed Blue Venus ~ Sending love and hugs ~ Robyn
02/25/2013 at 18:35
Sweet all around . . . Blue gown . . . Photo . . . Poem . . . But most of all a true friend.
02/22/2013 at 21:18
Aww – thank you so much Mindy. I agree — true friend the most of all!! x RL
02/25/2013 at 18:32
Love the self-portrait!! Just beautiful, as is the inspirational blue dress!
02/26/2013 at 14:15
Oh – thank you so much Nine Cent Girl! Very thrilled to khow you liked the self-portrait of my shadow ~ This dress has surely inspired a ton of art — really appreciate ~ much love ~RL
02/27/2013 at 01:00
Beautiful.
02/26/2013 at 18:53
Thank you kindly dear Kev ~ thrilled you enjoyed this 💙
02/27/2013 at 01:01
Your Venus Shadow on the beach…wow….LOVE it! and hoping your doing well dear fiend. you are always such an inspiration to so many dear Robyn, such a truly special and gifted friend you are. warmest wishes to you with giant healin hugs Robyn, looking forward to hearing more from you soon! Wonderful post as always dear one!
02/27/2013 at 02:17
Aww – you are very kind dear Stan ~ glad you liked it. Was from summer and maybe I did not feel inspired to share till Resa presented me with Blue Venus! ~ sort of had that vibe to it I think. I am making some slow progress here figuring out this mysterious body of mine… will wrap it up next week and head back home … has been an adventure. I hope you are doing well and having fun! ~ Much Love, RL
02/28/2013 at 17:33
What a beautiful heart connection expressed through the most touching of words.
02/27/2013 at 21:40
Thank you so much dearest LuAnn! Very glad you could sense the heart connection Monica and I share ~ indeed her poem was incredibly touching — so happy to be able to archive it here- and share with those like you who I know appreciate! Much Love to you always, Robyn
02/28/2013 at 17:38
This is the gift that keeps on giving. Monica’s theme portrays you as a very special person, ethereal almost. Separate from your poetry and photographic talents you are clearly a woman apart and I am all the more appreciative of being able to enjoy the fruits of your mind.
03/02/2013 at 06:28
Lovely comment once again Mike ~ I am touched. Yes – the gift that keeps giving …. I love that idea. Beautiful Monica did honor me with her enchanting words here. “Ethereal” ~ well if only I had such power… Probably as an ‘archetype’ I could gravitate to the sky though ~ and yet parts of me are pretty much rooted in the earth (Capricorn and everything)… thank you for your very kind words and insights. I always appreciate!
Much Love to you ~ RL
03/02/2013 at 14:26
Just beautiful….hope you gals don’t mind if I borrow that divine blue dress for the day
03/05/2013 at 16:18
Any time at all Little L ~ thank you sooo much. It is a pretty special gown isn’t it?! Sort of a fantasy dress for me. Much Love dear one! ~ RL
