I am lying on my bed right now. The sheets are in the dryer. My bedroom window is open. Is there anything more wonderful than a gentle summer breeze? Tree branches sway in the wind, and the fresh air circles in. The crows are whining. The seagulls are debating, and the red swallows are having a discussion. I smell the scent of the pine trees and my wind chimes are playing music.

I have been playing music too, just a different kind.

In the wind I hear notes of longing for what could be, the me I miss and the me I want to become. I hear notes of regret for some of what was, long ago.

I hear hope for healing and fear of death, I hear doubt and courage, perseverance. I look for things lost. I find new strength. I worry, and then I let go. Fever, exhaustion, sinking into it.

I feel as if I am falling apart. Slipping in between the shadows and the light. Weaving in and out.

I walk this path. I honestly don't know anymore- what is more real, my waking world or my dream world?

Yesterday I discovered a labyrinth in a hidden garden, surrounded by flowers and cemetery head stones from the late 1700s and early 1800s. I walked the labyrinth slowly, like a prayer.

I will bloom where I am planted.

Thank you for the share.  What a wonder about the Labyrinth hidden and found.  It seems timely for your journey doesn't it?  And so in sync with my morning and made me smile.  :)  Beautiful photo.  And a lovely blog.
