Home...
We are home...
from the glorious desert of the southwest...
where few words...
can fill the vast plains, skies, mountains, and canyons...
or the sunrises and sunsets
that paint the yearnings of my heart and soul...
For within twelve hours of our plane touching the home ground of California, I was whisked away in a magic silver bullet... to the fertile abundance of an enchanted castle...
where something old...
something new...
something borrowed...
and something flow-blue...
filled our hearts with the joy of friendship,
inspiration, courage,
and with seeds...
new seeds of all possibility...
planted in the depths of heart and soul
in the growing light of the new moon...
Oh what seeds of possibility are you planting...
breathing desire and wonder,
beauty and uniqueness
into the vistas and enchantment
of all that you are???
What a beautiful landscape and what a gorgeous orange house! I'm so glad that you had such a fabulous time with such a creative group of women. :)

What a beautiful story of a wonderful trip.I love the desert almost as much as the sea....let's not forget the mountains either.
I regularly visit the sites of some of your friends...which brought me to you today.

oh Lea - welcome back
from the desert...
I have chills
kudalini style
gliding up
and down
my spine
savoring
the dessert...
feeling/knowing...
how SWEET it
was/is...
in the dreamland...
I am planting
dancing dress seeds...
imagining...
a Blogland Ball
where we don
our Soul's Finery...
and spin...
holding hands
under the stars...
