Better Late than Never

An Irish Weaver’s Blessin’

-Denise A. Rostan-O’Haley

 

May your shuttles always be full 

when you need ‘em

and

empty when ya want to fill ‘em.

May your warp never tangle while you’re dressin’ your loom.

May the sun shine on your work and not in your eyes.

I pray ya have no floats 

and 

perfect be your web.

May your drink be at hand, 

bare be your feet 

and 

swift be your hands as you throw

for the next beat!

May God’s blessing shine upon your weavin’ 

to bring joy to all who it touches!

Spearmint Breath

I was encouraged to share some things I wrote in a Creative Writing workshop...

"I will go to the bank by the wood and become naked and undisguised." -Walt Whitman

Spearmint Breath
There is weirdness and oddness that is part of a creative's life.
I looked at the words I laid down without out noticing.
Follow the mountains.
Cherish your today.
Discover being "naked and undisguised" in your thoughts.
Dream of the sniff of hay in the barn,
the green of the pasture,
the radiant glow of a daffodil...
Be with your kindred spirits as their fluff speeds through your fingertips.
Reality lives in the spearmint breath of a sheep or maybe even, a yak.
The universe is offering that, which I will not be inhibited from accepting!
The words are hollow, but happy.  I think them as a melody playing in my head.
Be naked
Be undisguised
Share your melodic and happy thoughts
or not.
Reach for victory.  Celebrate the mountains climbed.
Just don't choke on enthusiasm.
