The Walk

Today I was looking though some of my old notebooks and found one of my old scribblings. I use to write for myself, often by candle light while smoke rings from fresh incense wafted by. I really want to get back into journeying with the pen. I did not date this one like I did most of my other entries but it was either late 2004 or very early 2005. Enjoy.


I walk through the smoky spirals,
through the gates of time.
I see the wood and field.
I see the steam fall
gently down the stony bed.
A deer on the opposite bank
looks up and turns for me
to follow. I leap across the
brook to find myself in a 
different place. The doe
just ahead, I walk the path
'til I come to an ancient
grove of oak. Into the thick
I follow. The birds keep an eye
on  for I hear them talk.
The narrow trail seems to go
for miles. A clearing. An open
field but forest on all boundaries.
In the center stands a lone
yew. The doe stands there
next to a tall figure. He waits
for me to approach then invites
me to enter, The Tree of Life.

The Edge of Forever

     Here is something I wrote back on Janurary 15, 2005. I had been living in Seattle for the first time, away from all my friends, and family. Of course I made new friends and I still LOVE the PacNW. I have lived up there twice since then. But this was one of those times that I was changing places again. People that know me, know that I love to travel and explore and that I don't sit in one spot for very long. Big changes are always thrilling for me. There is a sense of the unknown. It's the end of one chapter and the start of another. It's really more like the end of one book and the start of another. With this spirt of adventure, I have lived in Oklahoma, Colorado, Florida, and WA state 3 times. Of course Oklahoma is home and I keep ending up back here. I'm sure that will change again someday and I will be off on a new adventure.              

"The Edge of Forever"

The time draws near.
All is about to change.
One foot in front of the other,
Has gotten me to this place.
I stand at the edge of a cliff.
Looking down, I feel the rush.
Looking across, I see forever.
My heart races.
I know the next step.
My hands raised to the sky,
I can feel the power.
Body starting to quiver.
Fear and doubt run through my head.
Looking down, I feel the rush.
Looking across, I see forever.
The world is mine for the taking.
Just need to reach out and grab it.
It's all out in front of me.
I don't want to fall.
So here I am at the edge of the cliff...

I jump head first and take it all in.
