here I stand feet firmly planted on this rock
the paths i've taken to get to this point on the
space-time continuum have been long and varied and not exactly smooth
there were times I've taken huge leaps of faith
that felt like I was walking right off the edge of a cliff
yet something always kept me firmly rooted despite the illusion of free falling
there always seemed to be a way to get through even the toughest times
sacred spots to rest and restore my soul
and a special angel to guide me to a place of deep peace

this was a special hike I did on November 18th,
to celebrate the life of the little blessed one who blessed so many
beautiful words & images, Elizabeth...very inspiring.

ReplyDeleteThis post rocks! (sorry, could not resist!). This post is lovely. Is one of these photos from Stone Mtn, GA by chance?
ReplyDeleteAh, I've come back now after feeling some grief, after reading your post for the first time.... what a journey you have been on. I wonder how close you were to your little one in those close-to-something-other places? The photos looked other-worldly and simply beautiful. Such a gift to both of you to spend time in a place so wondrous.
ReplyDeleteI have so much gratitude for all that you do here and all that you share. Many blessings and peace to you right now.
