Been Off The Grid — In Between Worlds

Posted on April 30, 2015 by Pat

I’ve been off the grid with cataract surgery. I feel I’m in between worlds now with surgery done on one eye and the other scheduled for next week.

It’s like I’m walking in one door seeing the world the way I’ve always seen it and now feeling a transformation where I’m beginning to see what I’ve missed for so many years.

I don’t know what it will all be like when I come out the other side. Only, if what I’ve experienced so far is any clue, I’m in heaven.

I’m waking up to many things connected to my eyes — ha, even discovering that I didn’t know I was lost. Continue reading →

Wouldn’t Take Nothin’ For My Journey Now

Men Walking in the Woods by MSN Clipart

I’m lying low these days and taking advantage of the cold and wintry season to soak in the writings and reflections of others. I’ve felt spent with no words of my own, like what my fellow blogger Andrea Stephenson speaks about in “Anatomy of Creation”,

“My creativity was stripped back and emptied out. Now, I’m armed only with dreams and bones.”

Maybe, it’s a way of discovering and nurturing dreams I didn’t know I had and the making of new decisions. I like what she follows up in saying: Continue reading →

I See Them Dancing

“I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight”. Those are the words that sparked an interesting talk with hubby and me the other night. Funny, after over 48 years, how in a moment’s notice love and romance show up and lets you know they’re always there.

That’s what happened to us and it was lovely when we found ourselves dancing in each other’s arms. Continue reading →

Fireside Chats ― Kitchen Table Talks Revisited

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Pat

I’m happy to say some of you were interested in this adventurous endeavor of mine (see previous post “Fireside Chats and Kitchen Table Talks”). Thank You! I even had a Google+ video chat scheduled. But, it was not to be for now. No doubt to be revisited another time ― another day, for sure.

After a number of attempts, I can see I have much more to learn in how I want to present this to you and it’s not enough to just “invite the miraculous”. I need to have access to more technology and the internet needs to cooperate (went down that day). So, maybe the universe was telling me something that I didn’t know. Continue reading →

Fireside Chats and Kitchen Table Talks

Posted on January 22, 2015 by Pat

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Fireside Chat.”

The Daily Post has asked: “What person whom you don’t know very well in real life — it could be a blogger whose writing you enjoy, a friend you just recently made, etc. — would you like to have over for a long chat in which they tell you their life story?”

Best conversations come about in fireside chats or just sitting around the kitchen table. I think it’s when we learn the most from each other, when our hearts open to give our opinions and tell our stories.

How would it feel to clear our agendas for a day and sit down to talk with someone purely with the intention of listening and sharing what’s happening in our lives. Maybe, we need to hear about an experience or exchange different points of view on something. Continue reading →
