Wildflowers

Wildflowers, York, ME – Photo and Verse - Charlie Riverman Bergeron 5/28/11

Walking each day

through the density

that surrounds

the ever-changing mind

Looking for moments

that lift us

and fill us

with newness

There you were

silently waving

in soft gentle breaths

Praising the light

in which the shadows dance.

This photograph and the verse it inspired is a tribute to Peter Shefler.  Thank you Peter for all  your marvelous contributions to this world through your creations. Your touching of hearts and minds through your passion is such a gift to us all.

Blossoms

 

 

 

 

 

Blossoms

hundreds of years

season upon season 

roots planted firmly

many have come

a few have noticed

one has exalted me to the heavens

and keeps me warm in his heart

it is for you my

blossoms dance in the slight breeze

promising you a taste of their labors

Silent Communion

This Photograph by George Risho Robertson, London UK
was the inspiration for the verse. Thank you George for allowing me to share your wonderful work.

Silent Communion

For to be found
within your awareness
nestled among
the shadows of lightbeams
illuminating
the delicate structure
of my inner presence
has given new life
to our silent communion

At Peace Now

 

Message from Charlie H
May 21,2011

when we know it is our time to leave
we will give back all that we have been given
and return to our original presence
knowing that we have been in the garden

received by crb  5/21/11

Today a loving husband, father, grandfather and amazing human being left this world after a 10 month journey of having a brain tumor.  The memories he has left behind will continue to be a part of this world, for his presence and laughter will not be soon forgotten.

I sat here at my computer tonight having returned from visiting his beloved wife of 50+ years  and as I usually do before I write my musings I humbly ask for those who want to speak through me to guide me in my writings.

I placed my fingers on the keyboard and started to type out the beginning of a verse and my fingers were soon deleting what I had written and the above message was typed just as it appears, no editing, no misspelling, no hesitation or pausing to think about it.

Thank You Charlie, glad you made it home!

Joyous Waiting

Joy is not "something" that eludes us; 

it is we who elude Joy!

Buried deep within us,
below the radar of our thinking,
waiting in silence,
Joy awaits our return.
