PINK ROSES are so beautiful. Symbolizing beauty, love, balance and GRATITUDE.

- A response by Mark Nepo YOU ASK ABOUT POETRY
You ask from an island so far away it remains unspoiled. To walk quietly till the miracle in everything speaks is poetry. You want to look for poetry in your soul and in everyday life, as you search for stones on the beach. Four thousand miles away, as the sun ices the snow, I smile. For in this moment, you are the poem. After years of looking, I can only say that searching for small worn things by the deep is the art of poetry. But listening to what they say is the poem.

Mala - 'meditation garden' or 'garland of flowers' Clear Crystal - the supreme gift of Mother Earth, clarity, connects to your higher self, ' your diamond within' I love my mala bracelet, it was a gift from a friend. I wear it as a reminder of all things possible, to keep me focused on my intentions in every moment. I wore it for almost a year until I decided to take it off for restringing, for concern of losing it. We must take care of all that we're given... |

SOLITUDE
|
|
...one night
there's a heartbeat at the door.
Outside, a woman in the fog,
with hair of twigs and a dress of weed,
dripping green lake water.
She says, 'I am you,
and I have traveled a great distance.
Come with me, there is something I must show you...'
She turns to go, her cloak falls open,
Suddenly, golden light...everywhere, golden light...

I am thankful for little bits of information I was able to gather from others intense efforts over time. They gathered much information and history and organized it all in the form of books, virtual museums and museum collections. For more in depth information of Pelee's history visit Pelee Island Heritage Centre and Essex Kent Mennonite Heritage Association.
