Welcome to my world...13 acres on the side of a mountain in north Georgia, which I share with my partner and a multitude of animals. Surrounded by Beauty and Love though I am, the roads I have traveled in this life have rarely been smooth. Yet I know True Love travels on a gravel road, and Wisdom is borne from adversity. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote ~ When it is dark enough, you can see the stars. So, whether expressed in an essay, poem, or photograph, these are the stars I've seen and the wisdom I've found. Open your eyes, and you may catch a falling star; open your mind, and you may discover pearls of wisdom.
Or not.

In Bel's Fire
for Susan

through the thickening, greening leaves

i catch a glimpse of his leaping limbs

gleaming horns, a knowing grin - Cernunnos, the Horned God -

the King Stag, in rut

and in this verdant world of his

a warmth flows through me, a quickening

and suddenly, i hear hooves pounding

bounding through the forest, he comes

my own King Stag, the One i Love

pressing forward, rushing towards me

Yes! his breath on my neck, i turn,

He's There! and into his arms i come
