  1. derrickjknight – UK – I am an octogenarian enjoying rambling physically and photographing what I see, and rambling in my head as memories are triggered. I also ramble through a lifetime's photographs. In these later years much rambling is done in a car.

  3. judybarton – Still in love, complicated, almost stupid, interested to recognize herself. "Up to the age of eighteen years old everybody writes poems; after, only two categories of people may continue to do it: poets and idiots." (Benedetto Croce). Obviously I do not consider myself a poet.

    That photo is so full of melancholy and sweet drams !

    Reading the text, I tried a very silly thing: to put it exactly as it is in the very bad google translator. I wondered for the result of the google Italian version, that is perfect:

    Dalla superficie del fiume
    l’albero mi guardò
    offrendo il cielo ai miei piedi

    I never saw google working in such a good way. I thought that the simplicity of your writings is closely related to their beauty.
    Thank you.

  9. Carol Westphal – I am a retired Reformed Church in America pastor, and I am also a person who has lived with the limitations of CFS/ME (chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis) for a number of years. From time to time I do a bit of writing, sometimes related to my CFS/ME experience, sometimes not, and I also love capturing the beauty of flowers on camera and then reflecting on life through the prism of these flowers. Enjoy! Carol Westphal

    How surreal — that the tree is not inverted(?).

  12. 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

    I could fall in, could grasp a tree limb,
    swim under and over it,
    find in that placid murky cold a haven,
    then be delivered to places so far unknown
    and return like a fish for more air.

    Thank you leafandtwig.

  15. 2ndhalfolife – In the second (or really third?) half of my life now. Moving into the more crone stage: out of my head, into my soul. My magic is returning after many years of having lost it to the streets of life. There have been some very dark times, but these have made my journey rich with the stuff of possibility. Because out of darkness has come the glittering beauty of illumination. It has come with struggle and toil, and not without help--but I am here, and I am mostly in tact, and I'm here to share the rest of this journey with you all if you care to join me.......
