Home is a Chapel of Your God/dess

Ode to a Playground

Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.  ~~Elie Wiesel  Read more at Brainy Quotes

I remember you

Playground

Endless days

punctuated by recess

Four-Square Friendships

and shared secrets

Colored with fat crayons

and sidewalk chalk

Concrete Chapel

Jewel of Childhood

We drew our Fates

with one Potato

Two Potato

Hunting shadows of the future

Until the streetlights came on.

Did you ever wonder where Inspiration comes from?

That Call to Create?

Today, mine came from my inbox. (It does that quite often…I think mine likes to leave me messages in hidden places.)

One email came from a fellow blogger who had recently made a major change in her life (Madam Barefoot Butterfly!)

One came from a jewel-crafter I follow (Beader Bubbe!)

How do we know what Enough is?

How much is Enough? (does it have a price-tag? can i get it on sale?)

How do we tell when we’ve had Enough of an unhappy situation?

How do we know how clean is “Clean Enough”?

How do we decide we’ve had Enough to eat… Enough rest… Enough exercise…?

How do we know we’ve been patient Enough… strong Enough… honest Enough…?

Enough. Even spelling that word is confusing. (one of many reasons I think English is a dead language.)

We can’t quantify Enough.

We can’t analyze Enough.

And we can’t leave Enough alone.

How many times have you thought or said: I’ve Had Enough! ? (do we really ever get Enough?)

Did you really mean it? What happened after that?

I’m old Enough to know

and young Enough to laugh about it.

What I have is Enough.

What you have is Enough.

If not, I have Enough to share.

Something is Enough.

And if it’s not, keep looking.

You’ll find it.
