Possible?
Is it possible
To be in the world, but not of?
Yes it is, if we are in Christ
Katauta
… if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new
2Corinthians 5:1
Life in the End
Living in the End Times
In the world but not of it
Have to admit it’s
Sometimes difficult
But it is always worth it
Tanka
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. 1 John 2
Light to Lead the Way
Hope
Within
Leads and guides
And shines like

No Time for Art
Ready and Waiting
Yet, the chair sits empty
The Art Studio
Word Lune
This year I took up learning to draw and started with a draw-a-day challenge on Instagram. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot and was getting better day by day(I thought) but I wanted a dedicated space to draw and paint where I could leave my supplies out and handy. ( I had been using my dining room table and shuffling supplies back and forth which was inconvenient. So, I was able to turn a spare bedroom into my Art Studio and I was so happy and excited! But since that time life happenings have somehow kept me away from having time to draw, hence the poem…. I do hope to get back at it soon though 😊
Oregon’s Treasure
Covered in snow
The mountain
Majestic it stands
Syllable Lune
A Winter’s Delight
Cabbages and Kale
Wear Ruffles and Pearls
In the land of kings
They dance til dawn
While sparrows watch
And nightingale sings
Their splendor soon fades
As warm breezes kiss
And sunshine brings
The end of Winter’s ball
And thus herald in
Sights which are Spring’s

Squirrel Saga Continues
Mr. Gray Squirrel is back today
Eating from the feeder like it’s okay
“You’re a funny looking bird” I say
My comment causes him no dismay
“Mighty fine sunflower seeds” says he
“Quite worth my trip down the tree”
“Ah yes, but not meant for you” says me
With a smile and nod, away he does flee
Narrative/Rhyme
To Be Continued….I imagine
Nature’s Live Performance
A foraging army boldly flew
Into my area of wet green,
Peaking the interest of one
Gray squirrel long and lean,
Who romped about
And in between.
A nature
Convene
Live!
Nonet
I happened to be in the right place at the right time today as a flock of Chickadees flew into my yard at the same time the gray squirrel was visiting! Camera in hand, I was fortunate to be able to video the complete show!
Hibernation Thoughts
Quickly
Moving
Like a river
January
Days swiftly flowing
Into cold, damp, dark nights
Causing man and beast a chill
As they wish for the breath of Spring
To blow across the land once again
Bringing with it longer days and new life.
