15 Replies to “Embrace”

  1. penpusherpen – England.... – I like to write in my spare time, poems and short stories mainly. Time flies so quickly but I do try and write when the mood takes me. I love walking, (along the nearby Canal Paths, the Local Woods and anywhere that stirs the imagination) reading, (Science Fiction mainly) watching films (Johnny Depp orientated usually), Gardening, (when I can fit it in, weeds seem to grow like wildfire)..and I believe that you make your own path through this life, so plant flowers as you go and brighten your way..

    Nature’s Valentine is an icy kiss 🙂 Would love to know where this scenery is. The background looks like a painting. Lovely, as always.

  3. Journey In Rhyme – What a ride thus far. A “journey”, if you will. The ups and downs, hard falls, and grace-filled recoveries have painted quite an image. Abstract art, though it may be, there is a rhyme and a rhythm, a heartbeat, and a pulse. The mix of colors, lights and shadows, three-dimensional electricity… the random strokes and thickness of paint tell such a story. God-willing, I keep breathing with purpose, and continue to create art with the help of my Creator. I’ve taken an extended break from this blog (today is 3/5/20), and upon my return I am seeking to add new poetry and perhaps revise some of the thoughts and ideas within my older writings. I seek to express truth. I praise God for the renewal of my mind! (Romans 12:2). I will revise or delete as I feel lead. I see the poetic expressions herein as reflections of my emotions, circumstances, enemy influences, pain, temptation, and even substance abuse- ALL PART OF MY JOURNEY. I do not seek to hide the parts of my journey that have brought me closer to my Maker, but I encourage all assertions in my poems be checked against the Truth of the Word. I desire to share light and hope, which I recognize more brilliantly now after walking through the darkness. “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” Proverbs 16:3

    Beautifully captured and expressed once again. Makes this winter’s peculiarity seem a bit romantic. 🙂

  8. Cynthia Guenther Richardson – Pacific NW – Hello fellow readers and bloggers, Writing has always been a powerful connector to diverse ideas and people. We each are a meaningful part of this beautiful, ever-widening web of life. Blogging enables more interaction, which I love even after 11 years of blogging posts on three different sites. For thirty years I was an addictions/mental health counselor and also a manager of home care services for elderly folks. Now that I have hit 70 and am more devoted to a creative life! I've published online or in literary journals/collections several times, including fiction and creative non-fiction pieces and poetry over five decades. Additionally, I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for an excerpt of my novel-in-progress, Other than Words (the work gathering dust at present), about a mute dancer and her impact on her adopted community and a world-travelling photojournalist. I also am working on a connected set of stories about a close-knit town in northern Michigan. On Wordpress I enjoy writing about living richly despite (or because of) life's setbacks and a diagnosis of heart disease at age 51. Posts tagged "memoir" share spiritual adventures, interactions with nature, the healing of trauma's impact and challenges of writing full-time. Short stories and creative nonfiction, and poetry are favorite genres but I enjoy sharing my photography as well My hope is my offerings reflect a profound faith in God and our humanness which cloaks spiritual natures. I include myself as part of the diverse group of writers who discover and share the illuminating, positive experiences amid life's uncertainties and hardships. Let me hear from you when you visit--I appreciate your comments a great deal. Blessings and regards, Cynthia

  13. Gorgeous. This scene makes me wish I could paint it–“embrace” it as your words and photo do so beautifully.
