We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.

About Me

I'm the Senior Ops Admin for AARP South Dakota. Lately I have found I carry a large amount of love in my heart for many people and humanity in general. It is a wonderful feeling to have.

Interests:
humanity, my family, spirituality, art, music, poetry, good reads, laughing, laughing, laughing, learning, hugs & kisses, listening to children share their wisdom, quantum physics, secrets of all kinds, mysteries of the world and universe, cuddling under the blankets on cold winter nights, star gazing,tall tales, thunder storms, breezy days, the smell of the forest right before it rains, people watching, my grandmothers and aunties, butterflies, white puffy clouds, waterfalls,the sound of crunching snow, driving on empty highways and byways at a slow pace with my windows down, smiles, old people, catching snakes and toads with my little boys, remembering my father ------ Good coffee, good music, good company and a newspaper on Sunday morning ------

We camped there often
when we were young,
along the great Bear River.

 

My brother, sister and I
wading in the shallow, rocky bottom.
Our small bare feet ignoring the
cold water and slime.

 

We looked for trout and flipped
big rocks to find crawdads and spiders,
freshening our hungry mouths with mint
picked along the shore.

 

As the sun moved closer to it’s
home in the west, shadows grew
longer, cool air creeped in and we
were called back to home base.

 

We gathered at the fire cooking
hotdogs and marshmallows on
green sticks found nearby,
burning our hands and mouths
as we hungrily gobbled them up.

 

The fire and gregarious conversations
would calm. We were tucked into our
comfy, orange sleeping bags wearing
sweatshirts and heavy socks.

 

The sound of our parents soft conversations
slowy drifted off leaving the river, crickets,
and night breezes singing a lulluby for Mother Earth.

 

We slept, as children do.
