I am light-headed
I am faint of heart
I am walking to my local independent grocery store
and then the change of colours start
The road beneath me changes from tar to
sparkling broken glass
The sun above in sparkling
shining pure white like a noble gas
My mind is feeling good
more hopeful than before
Physically
my body is still fighting its war
I am partly cloudy
with occasional patches of sun
I have fought too many wars
and so many I have won
I am not done yet
I will sparkle like before
I am not done yet
I will sparkle in peace instead of war.
Brilliantly beautiful Harlon 💙

Sparkle is a happy word isn’t it. I think it can also describe a state of mind and a hopeful one at that. Thanks, hearing from you always puts a smile in my face 🙂 Keep on sparkling! Hugs, Harlon

Each time I hear from you, I think of that magical place we love, Puerto Vallarta! I hope this small note finds you sparkling, too…

Funny you should mention Puerto Vallarta. It’s been a difficult year and a half for me, and last winter was particularly challenging so I am starting to daydream, which will hopefully lead to planning to spend a month there this winter to escape and unwind. It’s good to have things to look forward to! 🙂 Harlon

I hope to do the same next year (this year will be a trip out your way and hopefully, on to London, England if Brexit goes well)!

Yes! I’m smiling, now. Sometimes I feel weird and off balance for no apparent reason. Like this evening, I was feeling lightheaded and my legs felt rubbery, like low blood sugar symptoms, but it had not been that long since I’d eaten. We went to the beach and watched the moonlight sparkling on the water, and I felt so much better. I’m thankful we have discovered the magic medicine of water and light. Sometimes just getting outside and walking can make a big difference. Peace and hugs to you Harlon.

Dear JoAnna, I always enjoy how you find things in my writing that perhaps weren’t as clear in my mind, I enjoy how you foster my words and thoughts and bring them to fruition. Yes, whether I knew it or not at the time, this posting was about the healing essence of water and light. Thanks for reminding me that in a complicated world, the simple pleasure of being in nature is so powerful. Hugs to you as well, Harlon
