My Heroes

You have to grab a good time wherever you can, an unknown little fact, I use to read comic books when I was a kid, I could devour them. Well the benefits of being a younger sister was, there was plenty to read. Okay, so it wasn't cultural or educational, but it sure was fun on those lazy hot days of summer when your not daydreaming watching clouds go by.....My favorite was the metaphoris man.. .. simply because I thought he was a gentlemen hero, not to mention cute.... sorry Batman you did come in second with a great ZIP , POW , WHAM, CRASH and well who could not love wonder woman... and the ideal amazon world of women, yeah we know, we rule. lol Just to think in my day comic books were the ultimate enemy to a parent, and now they have taken second place to video games... nothing like fantasy to make your mind work..

Ribfest

The ribfest had great weather and I met up with some old friends as well as making new. We had a huge turn out from the local resturants and Damions took first place this year, but all the ribs were great including those from TGIF, Apple Bees, Texas road house.. etc I appreciate those who continue to purchase poetry and skincare products,but above it was a good time, wonderful music and good spirits.

We are preparing for the next event and hope to see a good turn out.....

if not don't forget to look online for the new line of poetry products that are ready for the quickly approaching holidays at http://www.2onacloud.com/ and http://www.autumnsboutique.com/. We are pleased to be able to bring you poetry from the heart in the Rachel Charlotte Miller Collection, where something new is always happening.... and a special thank you to the Scotts Settlement house for their wonderful hospitality and good luck to the new administrator.

Watching Clouds go by..

Lay your blanket upon the grass of shades of many colors green and gaze into the clouds and tell me what you see.. I saw the hell that lingers

in the clouds and then the puffy white one that lowered itself to the ground. I chose the hand that reached out with care to journey through the darkness and bring your love so near.

Each arts festival brings with it a new faces, new challenges and a bit of excitement. I woke up at 4:30 and for the first time I sit here prepared and extra early. I hadn't done many last minute things and I have already gone through the different phases of preparation... I never realized how important it is to like what you see in the mirror. It's not about the physical as much as it is about liking your inner self. You hear allot of jokes about inner beauty,but there is allot more to it then people realize.
Each event brings with it new stories, some I see the intermingling of issues that we all meet up with at one time or another in our lives. So common are the stories, that only the cast changes.
I found the pedestal of brass horses unattached and laying on my desk. Disappointed it wasn't something I wanted to rid my desk of , so I had them repaired. The soldering that holds them together makes then stand strong , more so then the were originally. I looked at them and it made me think of personalities and how respect and trust builds a stronger bond to hold us up through times of difficulty.
The picture I posted of clouds is interpreted in many ways.The person who sent it to me saw a " heart " and I saw in it a "demon" My response was that the interpretation was extremely different because they "lived with love and I lived with fear. "
Fear to me is nothing more then the pre-examination of a set of consequences. Sometimes the predetermination prevents us or slows the process of growth. When your a small child your taught not to go near a city street as a car might not see you and be able to stop in time. From toddler years on we are taught what we shouldn't do to provide a safer
environment. A certain measure of fear gives us food for thought a period of time to reason. Though if we stand still to long we miss opportunity. There is a very small window of time for which we are responsible to make a choice. If fear be the guide, would we ever get to the other side of the street or would our overly cautious attitude keep us at the edge always guessing when would be the right opportunity? Little lessons from childhood that show up later in life.Here we stand in the middle of our life with choices , how we react, the timing all are crucial
in our development.

I saw her in my dreams and then she disappeared,
locked behind the walls with her long golden hair.

The room she stood was still and lace and ribbon
lay, in a room of perfection where she couldn't
even play.

I saw the vision many times and heard the sounds
of silent cries and everyday she repeated each
step just the same.

Standing at the window, barely does she move
until I get closer and then she fades away to
soon.

Why does she come to me? What message does
she bring?Help me to unlock the mystery,
and set her soul free.
