Lie back and think . .

Silent Forest

The forest, silent and forlorn.  Waiting for her new winter coat.  Soon the beauty and serenity will cloak the forest in white splendour once more.

Unwritten Story

When I think of sad moments or violent and angry times in my life, I remember them as scenes that I have been witness to.  I am the observer and the story unfolds before me.  I see the sadness in her eyes as she waves goodbye to the tall figure standing in the shadows on the platform.................

Missing Africa

I miss the sand between my toes

and the warm berg wind that blows

I miss the dry brown grass in winter

and the smell of a veld fire.

I miss the violent summer storms

and the lightening out at sea.

But most of all I miss Africa

and the part of it that was me.

Warmth

Snow Thoughts

Soft snow underfoot as I wander through the forest.

 Only my thoughts for company, I walk on for hours.

I came out here to escape my thoughts, but they intrude constantly.

I need to be free of them if only for a day

If only for a night

We need to stop the fighting

We need to stop the war

We need to spread the love

between the rich and the poor.

We have to look beyond

The differences we show

And find the common ground

And let our love grow.

We shouldn’t worry about his faith

Or the language that he speaks

Because we’re all of us

 God’s children

None of us are freaks.

O God,
whose love restores
the brokenhearted of this world:
pour out your love,
we beseech you,
upon those who feel
lonely, abandoned, or unloved.
Strengthen their hope
to meet the days ahead;
give them the courage
to embrace those who are different;
and bless them with the joy
of your eternal peace and love.
Amen

A cave in the rocks             

Feeling a bit sleepy

Having a 5 minute rest (well earned)

 

 

So many colourful buildings.

Too many to choose from :)
