I just can't do it!
At least not yet ...
I want to write, but it's proving impossible to
String together more than two or three insights, meriting
Serious consideration, today
Why not?
Well, it's that readiness thing ...
Upon awakening, each morning
This delightful experience of brand new grammahood
Feels so 'rejoiceful' that I can't force
My besotted brain to call upon intuition, which
Inspires me to string insights, together, without effort on my part
And as I've experienced the folly of
Expending energy, wastefully, while attempting to force
My mindset to expand before readiness ripens, suggests that
I follow my own advice and free my spirit to wallow in
This long-awaited gift of 'The Precious Present' until
My think tank has had time to soak in
This delightful fact of life, which proves true, again and again:
Each time intuition, patience, positive focus, good humor and
An expansive state of mind consider
The well fare of the entire community (which includes me)
Dreams, concerning the achievement of long range goals
Really can come true ... not because of wishing on a star but
Because, with belief in each person's self worth
Our think tanks work to transform daydreams into reality, just as
The ant moved the rubber tree plant, one infintessimal step at a time
And once the day dawns when an impossible dream is realized, at last
Our hearts re-energize with such sparkling delight as to
Shoot our spirits straight up through the clear blue sky—as can be seen when
The love light, shining forth from our eyes
Showers radiant sprinkles of joy wherever we go, and
You'd have to be crazy to detour away from
Working to achieve any long range goal
That continues to feel natural, intuitive and magical, year after year ☺️
My spirit's need to breathe in a heartfelt connection to new life, ever since
Celina and Steven's wedding day, a dozen years, back
And since their readiness to transform dream into reality is self evident
I sincerely believe that my choice to wait, quietly and patiently
Gives me license to wallow in this
Naturally besotted, mental state of bliss for as long as my joy feels boundless
In truth, I'm asking your generous heart to humor my need to
Express the depth of my emotion as best as
My connection to words can define indescribable delight
You see—Tis best to rejoice, today, knowing full well that
The future offers untold surprises to one and all
And as my heart floats, most often, on hope
I'll continue to set my sights on that positively focused path where
'Better late than never' offers my smile countless reasons to sparkle with joy ☺️
BTW—Did you know that within the unabridged edition of
Snow White, the heroine befriended seven dwarves and more!
In addition to ...
Happy, Bashful, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey, and Doc
(All named by Disney, because they were unnamed by the brothers Grimm)
Itchy, Fearful, Greedy, Stubborn, Lusty, Guilty, Wistful ...
Flirty, Feisty, Hopeful, Lucky and last but not least—Corny☺️
As my outlook on life (and love) seeks the sunny side of the street as does Snow's
Here's the circle of friends that she and I choose to hold hands with most often:
First, we hold hands with Happy and Hopeful
Then, as this pair connects with Lucky the duck
We watch Flirty and Feisty come out to play
And as each one has wisely embraced a healthy respect for The Line of Control
Our spirits have sound reason to radiate with unadulterated joy, unsullied by
Insecurity, defensiveness or undeserved guilt
As to Itchy, Fearful, Greedy, Stubborn, Lusty, Guilty and Wistful... Well ...
While the first four sit in time out, pondering positive focus and self discipline
The fifth has known, all along, to adhere to this rule of thumb:
Safety first, meaning everything in its proper place
And since this blog is still rated PG ...
That's all I'll say about Lusty, at least for now
As for Guilty and Wistful, well, I've gained insight into the fact that
My self worth has been in need of serious reconsideration for quite a while
And though your friend, Annie, will never be perfect
Time spent in reflection suggests a very good person she's proven to be
And in honor of fully embracing every aspect of joyful connection that
The present offers, concerning my devotion to Ravi
I'd like to introduce Corny, who's asked to end today's post by belting out this song:
To know know know her
Is to love love love her
Just to see her smile
Makes my day worthwhile
To know know know her
Is to love love love her
And I do, yes I do, yes I do
And now, with full appreciation for the fleeting nature of the precious present
I've come to embrace the wisdom of this deeper truth:
The fact that I offer my spirit creative license to radiate with love, openly and freely
Contributes as much to the youthful state of my well being as does peace of mind😊
Look closely and you'll see Ravi's eyes light up as soon as
This five week old child hears love, emoting from her gramma's voice ...
And as a result of our spiritual connection, you'll see
Intuition draw forth the sweetness of her smile, which
Connects naturally with mine
(Illustrating Ravi's changing emotional response to my voice)
Won't behave, and as I've no clue how to get it to run in real time
Suggestions are welcome ... In the meantime
As a brand new, besotted gramma, I can't not post photos, sooo
If you'll please humor me just a little longer—
Here's a still of our real live doll😊
