These Days

They
say

these
days

come
only
once;

These
games

we
play

meant
just
for
us;

We
sit
and
watch

the
shifting
tide;

We
surf
the
waves

savor
the
ride;

Winds
lift
us
high

though
just
so
far;

A
kiss
transports

us
to
the
stars;

These
whispered
words

we
shan’t
forget;

Invading
space

we
can’t
regret;

Like
sand
trails

with
no

end
or
start,

trace
a
path

through

timeless
hearts.

Blue Venus

Please
take
my
hand

It’s
time
to
go,

Inside
the
sea

of
passion’s
flow;

To
dance
on
waves

and

taste
the
tide,

Invade
the
space

where
love
collides;

Submerged
beneath
the

clouds
and
moon,

Where
water
sings

a
sultry
tune;

At
last
I’ll
kiss

the
heart
of
you,

and
fall
into

my
deepest
Blue.

To offer creative inspiration to a fellow-artist
seems, to me, one of the richest gifts
we might ever give, or receive.

This gorgeous “art gown” entitled, Blue Venus was designed and created by the very talented and brilliant Resa McConaghy of Queen’s end.

Resa is a professional costume designer, and this is her 4th in an exciting series of “art gowns” featured on her blog.

She explained that she was inspired to design this one for me, after enjoying many of my writings and photos here, featuring sea, sky and love. I could not be more touched and honored, and thus wanted to share this magnificent gown, fit for a goddess, with all of you today. My poem, above, flowed from my pen and heart, almost instantly, after seeing Blue Venus for the first time. Clearly Resa must have intuitive powers, only having asked me about my favorite colors – and creating this fantasy gown that I truly adore.

Hope you enjoyed, and be sure to visit Resa at her Blog, Blue Venus « Queen’s end to see more photos of this stunning gown, and to learn additional details about the birth of her masterpiece. Thank you beautiful Resa ~ I will forever cherish this most incredible gift of your art.

Much Love Always

Cast Ashore

where
debris
drifts ashore

forming
edges
and lines;

where
memories
tumble

and
hope
is
defined;

where
lovers
have
lingered

and

faith
has been
born;

where
sun’s
tender kiss

precedes
hurricane’s
scorn;

where
wind
swirls

its
promise;

embodied
deep in the
grain,

sculptures
of
life
grow

amidst
shadows
of
pain.

I want to let everyone know that I will be leaving town this weekend for an undefined period of time. I will be flying to another state to consult with a medical professional in order to determine whether I might benefit from working with him privately on a very specific functional training program he developed, in efforts to help stabilize my joints, and better hold them in their sockets.

It is past the 2 year mark now, since my bilateral hip surgeries ( arthroscopic repair of labrum tears and bone impingement). I have done all humanly possible to recover from this surgery , and regain some degree of normal function, but my situation continues to worsen, and the pain remains unrelenting.

As an update to My Story which I wrote about a year ago… it was recently determined that I have congenitally shallow anterior hip sockets (hip dysplasia) in addition to very loose ligaments (body-wide). Thus this last surgery in which my bone was carved, and joint capsule violated in order to do the repairs mentioned, did not serve me, and has seemingly rendered my joints more unstable.

I hope that I will be a candidate for this specialized training program with a functional movement expert I have sought out personally, and have great faith in. Through dedication and hard work, I’m hoping to develop even greater body awareness, and gain enhanced neuromuscular control of my ball/socket joints, increasing stability and reducing pain. As you might imagine, I am trying desperately to avoid further surgeries, which the experts warn, offer “no guarantees”.

Although I may be away for several weeks now, I hope to have internet, and my wireless devices handy, and will keep a good eye on everyone here ~ reading posts as much as possible, and hopefully posting some too.

Sending much Love and Light to all of you,
who have been, and continue to be
such an incredible source of strength
and inspiration in my life.
