These Walls

3 Pebbles

Driving over the bridge
I look out at the beach
The sky and water seamless 
No end, no beginning 
All connected with variegated clouds
Stopping to take some photos 
Cars rush by and so to a RV
One car honks it horn at it
Seeing the driver gazing at me
Me taking photos of the beach
There at my feet
Are three pebbles
Waiting for someone 
To take peek at them
I left them where they were
For others to find joy
In where I once stood

Sometimes changes in our lives happen slowly over time…

and other times, we have changes that happen within an instant…

Change is part of our everyday lives…

sometimes we are given clues/tools on how to deal

with change and other times we rely on what we already know,

our friends/family and sometimes even society as a whole.

Some may just carry on(bugger on)…

some may just sit and let life go on…

and some may run and try to make more changes.

In each situation of change,

it is comforting to know change is inevitable,

change is constant.

It is also nice when the sun rises for a new day.~pharris2013

A Garden Shared

Gardens are cool…we sometimes are fools…for not being there in person…with our deal loved ones…indeed we are fools…for insisting our loved ones always will be…by our side no matter day or night…but true to life…one day our loved ones will cease to be…however our love will continue to be ever so strong…peace with each of us as our gardens will grow… by Pauline Harris

Thinking of a Friend

We would laugh

And cry and sometimes

Ask the question why

We would go out of our way

To help others better themselves

By organizing and preparing

At moments when the floods

Would rush into the rooms

Finding new methods

To reach many who chose

To keep their attention

Solely upon making trouble

Solid engagement when

Connections were made

Craving to be heard

Hands reach out for more

Attention grabbing

But somehow the calm voice

Softly speaking

Tenderly with wisdom

A notion to bring forth

The reality of a caring friend

Noticing all around

We carried on with our duty

To be friends and work solemnly

Separately and yet equally

Preparing for the future

Of tomorrows yet to come

Goodbye dear one

I will miss your laugh

And your healing hugs

And thank you for being you

Updated: Gentle Hands Across Generations

(Inspiration:  a photo of five hands of different ages layered on top of each other)

Time passes onward

Carrying with it wisdom

Down through the ages

Some words become phrases

Linking all beings

One to another

Completing the circle

Fulfilling the rhythm

Memories unfold

To give others formed words

With warmth and laughter

To move ever forward

Because there is no way back

Whispers have foretold

The hands of generations

Will unite to bring joy

Across the ages in love

We Matter

Some people may and do point out all our flaws

But we matter. We are loved. 
Life is challenging for us alone
When we care, share, be aware 
We will step lightly into a new day
Together we are stronger alive
