Paper Journal

I love the feel of pen gliding
Across a sheet of paper
The magic of transforming
Blank pages into word art

I love the whiff of ink
That tickles my nose
As each page fans
the air in turn

I love looking backward
And moving forward
Within the creamy pages
Of straight lined paper

B&Ps Shadorma and Beyond – Nov 12, 016
Leonard Cohen is our inspiration for this week – especially his song Hallelujah

And over in the Imaginary Garden With Real Toads we are writing about those Still Points in our lives.

Heartsong

They stole my
words And spun them round
they didn’t
sound The same
Or even tell the story
That I meant to tell

They set them
To a melody
that Charmed the crowds And
fooled some fools
Until I
Wrenched them back again and sang
The song of my heart

This is the shrine of Saint Walburga built in 1974. The walls are 12 stained glass windows that were originally designed for the Saint Walburga church in Pittsburgh, PA, which no longer exists. The windows depict the life of St Walburga, a Benedictine nun, and were crafted in Germany.
