Fellowship, love, peace

[vaneramos]

Not much time to post today. Yesterday I met machineplay for a writing session, and realized it has been 10 years since I met her and themage. They have a daughter Brenna's age. We talked writing. We wrote. We talked some more. We nearly started doing this years ago, but life prevented it. We've both been through a lot, and perhaps come out stronger and richer for it. I've been needing regular time with another local writer, and I'm ready now. I can talk to her about the process of writing Pilgrim's Cross in ways I choose not to express in the performance mode of LJ. We plan to meet on Mondays.

ubermunkey brought this bell to the cottage when he visited in May. I set it down, planning to find a place to hang it. My parents found it and liked it, so they bought the wrought-iron hook and hung it beside the cottage door. Now whenever I enter there, I am reminded of love.

Also, there is the serenity of Lake Fletcher on a September morning, a source of healing and joy that sinks into my bones and stays there wherever I go.

i love this photo of the lake, Van. It's gorgeous!!! :-)
and it's great that you are having some exchange around your writing project!

Writing with someone is such a different dynamic from working alone, and a refreshing change from the norm. It provokes an intense energy, and I came away tired, but it was well worth it.

Glad you like the image. My favourite place, my favourite view!

The lake photo has such a great atmosphery feeling...Like I would want to look at it when I need to go someplace dreamy.

When I need a quiet place to go in meditation, I often evoke the dock and that peaceful view of the lake.

I 'go' to the Beach when I am stressed. Works well for the dentist and other medical stuff.

Ilove both images for different reasons of course. All three actually.

The icon takes me back to some great memories.

The bell makes me happy. I can see the side of the cottage, and the thought of your family enjoying it makes me smile.

The lake it hums to me of peace and constancy.

love and light

I am with you in all of those moments.

Thinking of you travelling back and forth. Go safely. Or perhaps more important, go in peace.

My love with you,
Van
