An Insecure Security
Gemutlichkeit* of
a rainy October morning
dry chilly warmth
in our little barn
*
downstairs
you perusing the paper
upstairs
me pumping poetry
*
rain tip-toeing
on the metal roof
a tymphanic symphony
outside the window
a masterpiece of color
yellow walnut leaves
and red sugar maple
the steady drip-drop of water
*
what bliss is this
precious moments of Now
a heavenly haven
from a frightening, tipsy-turvy world
*
I wish to always be
in your aura of calm
and the beauteous bounty of Nature
but
for sure
death will come
*
please take us together
and
find us in each other’s arms
*
blessed bliss
pure peace
and
true security
the everlasting Now
only exist
in the presence of God.
*German word meaning “coziness”.

Thank you, Stina. A little grim but realistic. I have been thinking about what I said to you last– saying to try to think of one good thing a day. This is not so easy when you are in the midst of things. I forget, too. My husband tells me to do one thing a day that will bring you joy of some sort. I think that is better. And meditation. I can’t get my husband to do it. Although the way he listens to music is a form of meditation. It is really good for the body AND mind.

I always appreciate your words of wisdom Ellen! I think it is a wonderful thing to do, making an effort to either find joy in or create joy in each day. Thank you for all that you do for me my dear friend!

a melancholic but moody and very beautiful poem of love and of autumn. It’s so allegorical, I really heard the rain drop as it does right now here and I’m not able to do such beautiful poems. Warmest regards Mitza

Thanks so much, Mitza. You are very kind. You do beautiful photographs, jewelry and paintings– much I cannot do. Blessings for your good spirit, Ellen
