A line of your post that I particularly like is: <br />" I am fed by love and time and silence and creating and simple ways of moving the body." <br /><br />It reminds me of days I set aside to cook--perhaps prepare for company coming or stocking up the freezer for surprise visitors. I love being in my kitchen on those days--thinking about the people who will eat the food, the quiet space (which I'll probably fill with music), trying to make each movement efficient as I swoop from cupboard to fridge to check on the oven, the wonderful smells that soon fill the house from my creations, the sight of the cooling rack lined with cookies or holding pans of brownies or lemon bars... Thanks for creating the ambience that jogged a nourishing memory!Violet N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16586574800230604652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-10983714212104794172017-09-07T21:57:20.392-05:002017-09-07T21:57:20.392-05:00Irene, your post is a vehicle of peace for me righ...Irene, your post is a vehicle of peace for me right now. It is soothing and poetic in its deliverance. It nourishes my soul and lets me relax (speaking of naps-it's bedtime). What stands out are these lines: Banish the word struggle from you attitude and your vocabulary. (from the Hopi leader), Every moment is a poem (that is whom you are - a poet with an artistic eye), your water image takes me back to summer moments. I love this shot so much that I want to place it in my summer gallery. Can you please either sign your name and location of the lake or just send me the location and I will add it?Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-25331368827638134642017-09-07T16:10:57.070-05:002017-09-07T16:10:57.070-05:00Those basic elements, light and water, can be so n...Those basic elements, light and water, can be so nourishing. Nothing calms my soul more than a bath by candlelight. Thanks for keeping us reflecting on our spiritual journeys. The posts feed my soul and nourish me.

Birdsong and rustling leaves, occasionally a popping as the tin roof expands with the sunshine. Reading your words. I need a nap!Dorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421672075192660319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-80302881823843034242017-09-07T10:37:01.261-05:002017-09-07T10:37:01.261-05:00Nourished by light!

Love how your water is words . . . and water! I love thinking of you enjoying water at the lake house. I'm sure that you spend some time there creating and reveling in words too! BTW, I took a nap yesterday when Jack did! I love the portable monitor so I can crank up the sound, knowing that I will hear him when he wakes up.
