There You Are

20160817_171644.jpg

Get lost in nature and you’ll find yourself.

Grace

Were seen in the heat of the fire where intensity is felt.

In the adventure of the breeze flowing with ease.

In the spontaneity of where the pinecone re-seeds.

In the courage of the wilderness free to be.

In the river bends as the earth shifts direction again.

In the burned mountain tops carrying scars within.

Were seen in the forest floor growing where seeds have blown.

In the rivers flowing with their own tone.

In the tree stump where roots remain carrying past pain.

In the boulders that are earthly bound.

In the stars lighting up the heavens to the ground.

In the blue skies that reflect into the depth of our eyes.

Were seen in the birds singing lullabies.

In the ant climbing up a tree vertically to be free.

In the leaves that hold seasons of change.

In the sunshine that heals an emotional exchange.

Were seen in the diversity of the trees.

In the life adventuring the streams and the seas.

In the fierceness of nature’s storm.

In in the determination of the bear’s strength and form.

In the loving eyes of a deer’s stare.

In in the earth’s core where passion is bared.

In the flower that opens to the whisper of the morning light.

Were in the silence and solitude of the day and night.

 

 

Courage Replaced Fear

20160813_205645
Do not fear to pioneer, to venture down new paths to endeavor.

Ralph J Bunche

I asked him,”can you take me to the highest place?”

“What then,” his response, with a puzzled look on his face?”

“I will know when I get there,” I replied.

The feeling to go I couldn’t hide.

When we arrived at the mountain top.

I felt pulled to be on the ground and look up without a sound.

Suctioned to the earth,  I was covered by the heavens all around.

I sat up and looked in front of me and knew.

The mountain was holding a special view.

To some it may sound silly to hear, to me it was audibly and visually clear.

The mountains and the heavens are your gear.

Slide into the lake and conquer another fear.

I asked again,”can you take me to the lake to swim in the darkness of the night?”

With an expectant look he replied, “Yes, let’s do your bucket list right.”

The waters would signify all the tears through the years.

The moonlight would shine as nature pulls me near.

Grounded in earth, heaven and grace.

The moment delivered another embrace.

Swimming in the deep dark waters of the night was set.

My mountain man driving a boat to protect.

Each breath signified doing something new.

Accepting the challenge to be scared and move through.

To create love where misunderstandings appear.

To be strong where weakness fed on a reflection in the mirror.

To be aware where denial steals time.

To stand off the defensive line.

To strip it all down to the ground.

Letting go where you once were bound.

Soul Pulls

606892792

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Oscar Wilde

 

My Soul’s vibration pulls me near.

Whispering softly trust me I’m here.

Ignite yourself in life my dear.

Take the shackles off your feet and dance.

I am here.

I am your soul.

I am watching you grow.

Listen to what you hear.

Wear your wild heart without fear.

Run and walk, be still in thought.

Clear the traps and release the gaps.

They are not meant to last.

Allow your energy to divinely open up.

Open the doors you have quietly shut.

You are not another’s thought.

You are brought to create and love in this spot.

Surrender to your destiny of the unconditional you.

Walk past the shadow that darkens what’s true.

Take your hat off and reach inside.

Your true identity is nothing to hide.

Be YOU and live true.

What others think of you is nothing to prove.

It has already been proven we all are who we choose.

Sunshine from my heart to you and me too.

Love is YOU.

A Silent Whisper

20160604_074121

In the silence the whisper is clear.

Kerri Elizabeth

 

There is a whisper in the gently breeze.

Ever so gently breathing words of gratitude and ease.

Don’t look back sweet child of mine.

Forward is a new starting line.

Feel the gentle touch of my words brush over you as you turn.

The direction you seek is a place to learn.

You’ll hear the answers you’re looking for.

Be in the silence of the outdoors.

How will I hear when the silence is clear?

The voice will be present when you release all fear.

Quieting the rumble of worry and tears.

The whisper of the wind knocks to come in.

Whispering gently an introduction to mutual friends.

Determination is here.

Perseverance is clear.

Gratitude is a power lifter,

Happiness stretches your core,

Love shows you more.

Sunshine’s Soul Boot Camp in the silence of the great outdoors!

 

 

Assumption has no place where love grows!

image

Letting your children grow and letting go of control and the assumption you know and giving support and love so that is
their foundation wherever they go!

Kerri Elizabeth

Assumption is fear that’s drawn near.
Assumption assaults the soul.
Takes over with control.
Assume follows gloom.
Leaves love with no room.
Assumption takes away our sweet time.
Leaving our heart hanging on the line.
Assumption chips away at peace.
Crowding out a way to release.
Assumption turns love into loss.
Assumption is control resisting the calling on our soul.
Let assumption go by.
Leaving no place for it to hide.
Let the heaviness of your heart fill with love.
Let the doubt of your thoughts flood out.
Allowing that place to refill with thoughts that fulfill.
Choose your thoughts.
Choose your actions.
Choose your hearts reactions.
Assuming is the opposite of Grace.
It’s a place we choose to go outside our own space.

Inspired Gratitude

Gratitude of inspiration, inspires purpose!
Kerri Elizabeth

Your waves roll over me.
Your strength wraps around me.
Your beauty inspires me.
Your voice sings to me.
Your depth moves my spirit.
Your palette of colors runs like a spring.
Your scent moves me to breathe.
Your name is tattooed on my heart.
Your invitation to teach is received.
Your gift to give is believed.
You renew me again today.
Thank you for guiding me with all you say.
Sunshine radiates like diamonds on your face .
You create a safe place to shed tears.
You give way to letting go of fears.
You heal me here.
I love you near.
Priest lake your blessings are clear.

Interpretation Of The View Is Inside Of You

 

20160515_100524.jpg

 

Your interpretation of the view is the reflection of you.

 Kerri Elizabeth

The reflection of life and what is seen,

Is inside of every human being.

Interpretation of your view is part of you.

Pay attention to the voice you use.

Your voice is a gift that can be misused.

Do you realize what is said is clearly where your lead?

Do you see the cover and decide for another?

Do you respect your own self talk.

Do you remember to stand tall when you walk.

Are your words humble and kind?

Do you pay attention to resting your mind?

Do you smile and take a chance?

Are you ready to shine and dance?

Are you on good terms with your heart and soul?

Do you own an interpretation that’s not in your control?

Where your thoughts go your energy flows.

Loving life is a beautiful direction to go.

Have passion in how you speak.

Have passion in the way you think.

Passion will flow in your words and actions.

When passion is your heart’s interactions.

Love in a Storm

thunder-953118_960_720

There will be storms in life that will rumble your ground and new feelings and ideas will be created around.

Kerri Elizabeth

 

A walk away lead me to pray.

I met thunder and lightening on the way.

They were collaborating their next play.

First would be lighting the sky like it was day.

Followed by rumble and rain they had more to say.

The rumble shook my ground.

The lightening was all around.

Striking anything with a fierce and solid sound.

I was vulnerable and open in the storm.

Finding safety and solitude my heart was torn.

Lost in the eye of the storm unwarned.

My own instincts kept me warm.

Calmness came over me.

And a rumble set me free.

While fear was trying to catch up with me.

Was I trapped in a storm?

Or being awakened and warned?

Life will be what you see.

Thoughts will go where your energy flows.

Fear is a voice of choice.

The Sunshine stays still behind the storm.

Love and light warm the way.

No matter what kind of day.

Intertwined Lines

 

 

Every time you let go of time and put love on the line, heart souls and mind intertwine.

Kerri Elizabeth

Intertwined lines of heart, soul and mind.

Man made twine holding us on a line.

Two trees in the sunshine.

You and me forgetting about time.

Hanging off the hillside above the shoreline.

The rivers beautiful whirlpools and designs.  

Birds singing harmony in the background of this peaceful find.

Our interpretation of nature is revealed.

Expressing the way we see and feel.

Flowers are bursting color on the canvas of choice.

Nature’s stage is set and you are the voice.

The ambiance is created by perception.

There is no static in natures reception.

Rays of sunshine gently melt the exterior of the soul.

Transparency opens the gates to let go.

Vapors of energy radiate life from the ground.

Gently hovering  you where you choose to be found.

Cradled by a hammock there is something to know.

Everytime is experiencing a new show.

You are the writer, producer and actor you know.

Imagine and create your life, take 1, take 2 ……… its up to you!

My Mother’s Love

20160306_220416.jpg

Thank you mom for giving me life , your love and smile have been my greatest advice!

Kerri Elizabeth

Happy Mothers Day Mom!

I am thankful for you everyday.

Every Day you’re there for me no matter what I say.

Everyday I know you love me and it’s never part way.

You’re beautiful inside and out.

Even when there are days you’re not sure about.

There’s a story in those baby blues I’ve seen through my life.

The ups and downs , joy and strife.

Your love for life has always been the very best advice.

It’s the beauty in that love for life that has been something I never had to ask about twice.

No matter how many years pass by.

No matter how many laugh lines and warrior scars you find.

You radiate a beautiful heart and mind.

I’ve seen that smile light up lives.

Traveling far not knowing where you’ll arrive.

I saw you work hard night and day.

To provide the best for you and I along the way.

Sometimes getting one step forward meant 10 steps dancing back.

Adventure and a smile was the proper daily attack.

You always danced through it all, showing me life was a dance even when you fall.

Your beautiful traveling spirit took me far in every kind of volkswagen car.

Thank you mom for your love of life.

Thank you mom for all your advice.

Even when I thought I didn’t need it, I listened and learned along the way.

Thank you mom for loving me, your very favorite child everyday.

That’s what my four children taught me.

A mother’s love is more than anything you can see.

Each one is my favorite hands down, that’s the love of a mother.

There is no where else that kind of love can be found.

Thank you Mom, your the best!

I love you and  hope your Mother’s day is full of sunshine and rest!
