Take the Tide in the Morning

© by Nick Grimshawe

I will take the tide in the morning,

At the time of the rising sun,

To be carried where ever I am going,

Upon the spangled sea of light.

The ocean will roar in my ears,

Like the blood rushing through my veins,

One surge after another timed to the celestial  beat.

The stars will shine as companions,

On my journey through the darkest realms,

And see me back to the land of beginning,

Where yet the green hills are calling,

From their sun dappled slopes,

And the breeze is still warm like a gentle exhale.

Back where the laughter is still ringing

Through the woods and the fields.

Just take the tide as it washes your shore,

Let it sweep you on your journey to distant chimes,

And a smile will crease you lips

and a single tear drop fall.

Autumn Color by Pauline DeForest

Good Day.

All the pieces have realigned to bring you a truly unique new day.

The elements have been rearranged entirely for your pleasure.

Read on below.

Inspirational Quote of the Day

Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort. Nothing ever happens twice alike. The most familiar people stand each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to surrounding objects. The most tranquil house, with the most serene inhabitants, living upon the utmost regularity of system, is yet exemplifying infinite diversities.

Kaleidoscope

Who hasn’t enjoyed looking through a kaleidoscope to see the pretty images shift, change, and rearrange.

And it’s true life is like a kaleidoscope with the constant change and rearrangement of the pieces and the players.

When we are young we are fascinated by the shifting colors and patterns. We can’t get enough of the bright choreography of change. Yet at some point we seem to dig in our heals and resist.

Those who resist the most, grow old.

Those you continue to revel in the dance stay young at heart and endlessly enthralled .

Don’t try to plant those feet on solid ground and hold on.

No pick-up your feet and softly dance amid the scenery of life.

Have a Great Day  Dancing.
