a shy lantern glow flickers on a rusty door a #single shadow I fear doors open both ways to souls half-lost or half-found #vss365 #tanka #poetry #poetryonbluesky #blueskypoets

calling all angels for 2025...

just outside the door 

is 2025

at midnight

the door will unlatch and 

slide open

2024 will just be a shadow

cast by the self

2025 will be the new light

of hopeful wonder

it may be a universal door

but on opening, it reveals

many highways

many tracks

many mountains and valleys ahead

some visible

some invisible

all waiting to be owned

by choice

or by circumstance

all person specific

no matter race or age

to safely tread this testing wheel of time

to progress effectively

beyond the door

we need to simply keep walking

keep walking with our angels

our friendly angels of earth or spirit

our better angels

our personal

better angels

"...President Carter will never be far away – buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels." 

- Statement from the Obamas on the death of 100 year old President Jimmy Carter.

artistic doorway...

Doorways are generally a sign, an invitation to explore further... a kind of 'go-between' your space+and what could be...
But then there are doors that demand a pause, appreciative attention to their unique beauty...a marvellous work of art...
This door is of the latter kind... https://t.co/BGI0kKUloi

new life begins...

Last Tuesday19th April, my son (from Adelaide) and I took a long rainy drive from Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula in southern Victoria to Temora, in the Riverina region of southern NSW...

My son drove my car (+ me) to Temora...to my daughter's current home...I stay with her, (possibly 10 weeks), till finally her Temora home is completed. Then I take over her rental...a cute little olde world cottage with a white picket fence...Love it...

This changeover was an amazing moment...For the first time in some years, I was seeing my son and daughter at the same time...My son stayed with us for a couple of days before heading back to Adelaide with his partner...

My life by the sea is now converting to my life in a country town...
