Is it the mystery surrounding you
that continuously draws me?
Is it the longing held within
my aching breast
that cries for your touch?
Is it the countless feelings
stirred and provocatively evoked
since first we met?
What, what keeps pulling me to you
always hungering for more
never truly satisfied
no matter the times
our paths crossed?
Is this emotion I feel
called Love,
a Love so wide
it splits my sides?
If so, is this why
I tremble in awe
and my Heart just pounds
leaving me without breath
and starry eyed?
(Pause … )
Oh woe to me knowing
this that is called Love
for only leaving me
thirsty for more.
I have fallen
miserably ecstatically
into tormented Bliss.

These words came one night when I was settling down for the night to which I threw back the covers in a hurry to run for my pad and pen. The very next day I went to Como Lake Park and captured these images. How this post just fell together, is a mystery, a thrill, magic. Oh yes, I’ve put in many hours creating this post and learning “new” in my editing rooms, yet when all is said and done, when I actually went to put this post together, everything truly just fell into place. Wow!!!

Love the water photos, Amy.

A “spell” fell over me, Erika, and not only did these words pour forth but the intensity of emotions that rocked my entire being left me shaking. What came over me I don’t know. And then when I selected and edited these 7 pics, they all just fell into place with ease. I am in awe of me right now. Yes magic!!

It is unbelievable what sometimes just flow from us and where it came from because we feel it was not us. Such a beautiful and loving energy that has flown through you. Amazing! It is confirming that when we just let it flow without having the mind as judge things will always fall into place with ease 💖

You are beginning to learn of your spiritual integration within. Your spirit/higher self/God is becoming more prevalent in your life because you have understood by your awareness of life, what it is all really built on.
A great wisdom will slowly descend on you as you learn to ‘listen within’, and within that, the beauty you shall see will be in all that you see and touch.
Where before you would see tree’s and leaves…now you will see the beauty within it, its creation, its delight to the senses that have now awakened. Where before you were blind, blocked by your fears in life.
You have been through your ‘dark night of the soul’ and removed those walls.
Life becomes new again, your journey new meaning, and your heart truly awakens ❤
Enjoy your gift Amy, it is who you now are, and new and unique every day in what you are becoming, and a journey like no other 😀

Oh my gosh, Mark! You leave me stunned and speechless. I have tears in my eyes. Holy moly what can I possibly say? I feel so humbled and honored that you see me this way. I am coming back to Life and in a much Grander way. The sparkle in my eyes has returned and the sadness in my Heart has been replaced with Joy and Laughter. I so look forward to what you describe here and in fact, I know exactly what you are talking about. I photograph in such a way that what is not seen with the naked eye is seen through my camera’s eye. This leaves me in such awe of what is happening in me, with me, through me. And it is just not with my photography either. My personal Life is expanding in ways I never foresaw. Wow, just wow!! BIG SMILE. (((HUGS))) ❤

Dearest Michael, oh yes I have turned a corner, a much Blessed one! I toiled through such darkness and such Heart Pain, moving moving as though through sludge. My JOY completely vanished yet my Faith did not. Recently my JOY has returned, my eyes now sparkle, and my laughter is free. And about emotions, …. dear heavens, the range and depth I feel is enormous! When I fell under the “spell” of these words I was stunned by the power that swept through me that left me aching and ecstatic all in ONE. Now that has erupted forth all has been quiet except for one small (OH THANG GOODNESS!) saying shyly peeking out last night as I quickly grabbed my pen and caught it. My camera is still empty. My nose is sniffing and my Heart senses while my feet are itching to try something “new” today. I’ll see! Life is so exciting when the Heart fully opens. Only the strong and the brave are willing to do so for in opening wide the Heart becomes vulnerable and feels emotions so deep that at times they leave you shaking. Most people prefer to cruise through Life without the powerful emotions to complicate matters. What they don’t know is how much wealth they are missing out on. If a dear dear friend had not given up on me, chipping away at my Heart, knocking knocking knocking, insisting I FEEL more, this turning of the corner would not have happened. Oh! I know so much gratefulness today!! Bless you, Michael! ❤

Opps missed this post over the weekend. I am happy for your happiness, even if it was the result of so much pain. 🙂 I have come to a realization in the last few days, after avoiding much in this dark world around us, that we Goddesses and Gods came here to feel those moments so the contrast of Joy would be so much ….more!!!! Otherwise this life would be just reasonable. I’m looking at some unreasonable right now and anticipating the end result will be so much… Joy. ❤ ❤ ❤ Golden blessings to you Amy!!!
