Reunion

Please play the music as you read

and

come back 

for a little while 

and sit with me

even if it's just 

for 

one last time.

Before autumn's cool breath

clears the path

toward a cold world

come back and connect

like we once did

and leave me a comment

to tell me

what marvelous things

have been going on in your life.

Forget the challenging things

but rather

tell me about how the 

Blessing of Cheerfulness

has shaped you

during these years that have 

passed by so sweetly.

Let's have a 

you and me.

this blog was created

out of my fascination with

castles

crowns

and cottages.

As the years unspooled

my writing style developed

into a desire to

write poetry

which led to private endeavors to experiment

away from this blog

and share face to face with local poets

in the community where I live.

Along the way

I also had an Etsy shoppe

where I specialized in paper mâché art

anita pelayo rivera - les dames d'abord

which again led me down 

another path

until I found what was feasible

for me to continue my artistry 

as a 

full-time French teacher.

Our

ONCE UPON A TIMES

are 

road maps engraved on our destinies

to be read again and again

until

the next chapter is written

and we find each other

at a new climax.

where only the horizon

knows

I Found It Years Ago

but 

like a momentary 

autumn wind

via

I've breezed over the surface 

of

an ocean

via

 

of impressive

but

unattainable ideals

for 

 

via

via

via

source unknown

 Yet 

when he comes through the door

and 

tells me that his favorite part

of the day 

is

castles crowns and cottages

to 

 

I  run back to the shore

we

found years ago 

 

and 

our evanescent lights dim

castles crowns and cottages

 to 

an ineffable peace.

It Comes From

 nature

via

the places I've been

via

the places I'd like to explore

via

via

and 

where I prefer to dwell.  

via

via

But it comes mostly
 

from all of 

you.

That which shapes 

dreams

White and Shabby

White and Shabby

White and Shabby

  

also 

animates with a beat of  


life

as the origin of the word suggests -

Inspiration: 

to breathe in, to inhale.

How ironic

that something that 

gives

also has the power to

Take 

My Breath Away.  

Thank you, Jade.

   

   

Summer is thawing out

and is now washing ashore

as a 

bottled adventure.

But the fun isn't over for me

because

~ it's back to school~

 

and this time

 I'll be teaching teenagers

via

  the monumental achievements  

of 

via

traditions

via

renowned culinary practices

via

via

via

via

art and architecture

via

and varying lifestyles

But the first thing that a 

beginning French student
 

wants to know how to say

and will never forget

is
