Prime Seats Inspired
~~~
Delighted that my image below, Prime Seats inspired fellow blogger, Wendy Strohm, to compose this lovely poem entitled Climbing a Tree which is reflective of her own childhood memories.
Warm thanks to Wendy, and hope everyone will enjoy !
There’s nothing better than climbing a tree
And being high up with so far to see
There are various branches on which to play
And I can stay up here for most of the day
This branch here is my galloping horse
And the string I’ve tied are the reins of course
That branch over there is for my friend
We talk so much – till there is no end
But this broad branch is my favourite one
As it’s slightly shadowed from the sun
And I cannot be seen from the first look
I can lay just here and read my book
I have brought an apple for my lunch
You can tell I’m here from the noisy crunch!
~Wendy Strohm
Where You Are
Don’t need to go far
You are where you are
No mission or plan
It’s All Wonderland
~ Robyn Lee
Wishing Everyone a joyful weekend and a
Happy Mother’s Day too!

Is there anyplace else we’d rather be,
than nestled up high in the
palm of a tree

My Blessed Tub
When the going gets rough,
I light a candle, turn on some
soul-soothing music, and soak in a
hot saltwater bath.
It’s such an important ritual for me, one I return to over and over again each night.
Last night I was especially blessed to have a full moon, and mesmerizing clouds floating peacefully in my window’s view.
Today was a better day…and thus, I wanted to share.
Love & Gratitude to all~

Attract
“It is only when you love yourself deeply and without condition,
that it becomes effortless to attract the very thing
your heart desires most.”
~Robyn Lee
You might recall meeting the fellow pictured below in my post entitled,
Observe « THROUGH THE HEALING LENS…
He and the mermaid above have not yet met, and reside in different locales,
but I expect they will find each other very soon. 😉
Unreachable
“To focus dauntlessly on that which may seem unreachable
and far away, may be all that it takes
to set your soul ablaze.”
~ Robyn Lee
Protect
Her curtains are drawn, as ducks convene
The stage is set for rest and dreams;
Most will slumber through and through
Others sacrifice sleep, to protect their crew.
~ Robyn Lee
The following is a bit of duck trivia that I found fascinating, demonstrating how, even at the most primitive level, living beings instinctually develop systems to protect their own. If you examine my photo above, you can see which ducks are ‘protecting’ this evening. Enjoy!

Dr. Niels Rattenborg has studied sleep patterns of birds, including ducks. He monitored the brain waves of ducks as they sleep and learned some interesting things. Ducks often spend the night together as a group, often sleeping in a row. The ducks on the end of the row or outside of the group are easily spooked by any movement nearby.
They sleep with their eye away from the group open, while the other eye is closed. Rattenborg found that one of the hemispheres of the brains of these outside ducks was functioning at 100% capacity while the other hemisphere was in sleep mode. Apparently the duck has the ability to sleep with half the brain at a time asleep while the other half is fully responsive to the environment.
There is an obvious advantage to this system. Not only is the duck protecting itself by being constantly awake on the side that danger might come from, but the duck is also protecting the other ducks in the center.

Together they fly

Embraced in a dance
enthralled with romance

They tumble and fall

Future
“The future is born of those thoughts and feelings
we are allowing into our experience
right now.”
~ Robyn Lee
Could not help but notice this storefront down the block from the center where I had my spine procedure Thursday. I took pause for a moment, wondering if anyone truly had the ability to see into the future, and would it even serve me to have such information? Quickly I took a photo and moved on. While prepped and waiting, I thought more about the concept of future, and conjured up the quotation (above). A certain calm came over me at this point.
Sending everyone gratitude and appreciation for all the wonderful wishes, and wise comments shared on my blog post Wednesday. They really gave me a much-needed lift. I so appreciate the exceptional sense community we share here!
As an update, I did well with the procedure (barring a few moans and screams) and will know how effective it was over the next several days. If it works, my family will need to hide my roller blades :).
In the meantime…still moving in the direction of hope and faith, and paying attention to those thoughts and feelings I’m inviting into my experience right now!
Much Love ~ RL
