He fumbles at your soul
As players at the keys
Before they drop full music on.
He stuns you by degrees,
Prepares your brittle nature
For the ethereal blow
By fainter hammers further heard,
Then nearer, then so slow
Your breath has time to straighten,
Your brain to bubble cool,
Deals one imperial thunderbolt
That scalps your naked soul.
When winds take forests in their paws
The universe is still.
by Emily Dickinson

Open the windows and let the breeze flow through.
Remove the curtains so the Light can shine in.
Unlock the doors so Inspiration can freely enter.
We can find ourselves,
If we let Nature return to us.
Hello Bernie,
Beautifully said,’We can find ourselves, if we let Nature return to us.”
One of my teachers said, “If you ever feel depressed, just look up at the sky.” Nature is our healer, and our best teacher. Most of all it is everywhere, and is free…:D
Autumn in the Northwest is beautiful this year.
Enjoy!
Breathtaking words,
And a breathtaking spirit that posted them
My love to you dear sister,
Sending blessings across the wild skies,
Maithri
beautiful words…they sing across the page! Happy Autumn to you, as well, Miruh! I hope you’re taking your dog for many happy walks on the beach…
Beautiful … I felt every word speaking directly to my soul.
Thank you

Hello Maithri,
To a kindred spirit in this breathtaking dance, bowing with gratitude for knowing you!
May one imperial thunderbolt scalp your naked soul.
Love and blessings across the waters to you!
Hello Marion,
Yes, we have been going to the beach to collect seaweed to put the garden beds to sleep. We all come back with bounty; seaweed for the garden beds; Seeta with left overs from the eagles, and me and Ed with happy ocean vibes.
Love and blessings to you!
Hello Nicole,
I agree, Emily Dickinson was a free spirit, she definitely had her soul fumbled by the divine!
Happy Autumn days with Tetley and family.
Deep peace to you!
This is a great poem about faith.. God never fails to surprise us..
