Robust intricacies...fragile contemplation

11/17/2013

There is so much going on.
Flowers hum with bee-song and curtsey to the nectar lovers.
Tender, tasty morsels and a moment to glance…
I have been caught out
so many times,
with my mouth full of things to say,
and my heart ready to take flight,
just in case it hurts too much.

Young princes prance and perform around us,
With their new plumes on display.
Barely one season old and already changing and choosing your colour.
It’s taken me 44 years to find mine.
so many hues
of blue got in the way,
and the green?
that left me too when grown up came.

And the wrens are at it again,
Mapping the cycle of life with robust intricate detail,
Never still, always focused on the job at hand.
This will be the second clutch this Spring.
I am too distracted by the details.
so many memories,
to keep the story straying,
from one thing to another.

There is so much going on.
Every day we do the rounds and stop, watch and contemplate
Ten sweet years of memories,
...dear Frodo...
and now we know for certain,
but not for sure.

"Frustrations are the result of not seeing the opportunities".

11/16/2013

There is a sign on the wall above my workbench. It reads: "Frustrations are the result of not seeing the opportunities".

Right then. Hmmm....right now I am blinded by opportunities!

Frustrations? If they are opportunities, I had better archive them for future use.

Pin them down, by their dead wings, onto foam boards.

Categorise them by time of day , time of month, levels of pain, joy, clumsiness, stupidity, anger.

Give them Latin names and write this in cursive font underneath each one.

This will be my museum of opportunities. A place to go to each time another set back or frustration comes around. A place to remember to dream.

many roads... ...on the journey words follow me, push me forward, and sometimes, overtake me.

This is my attempt to map them, And navigate my way through meaning.
