some thoughts from Anita

In truth, we hug what we love     plant marigolds in the sun          establish new ties         with the unsung sky.

A Thanksgiving Message from Anita

Today is Thanksgiving. I am grateful for my wonderful family and friends. Today we are going to my sister's and sitting down,,,,all 21 of us. We will have turkey, rice stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, green beans and a big salad. I am bringing the salad........6 heads of romaine lettuce, avocado, cranberries, walnuts, mandarin oranges, cumcumber, red onion and red pepper with a white balsamic dressing. We will have homemade cranberry and pumpkin pie. Its a great day here. The sun is shining and in the mid 60's. Thankful for all who read our blogs and especially to Ann who is a cherished friend.

Tomorrow's Wing - Anita Holzberg

Tomorrow's wing establishes mercy on
      the playground of time
The peanut butter sandwich tastes good
The hug you gave me 
Lunch with my niece
Water fresh water after a long workout
I hold the dream for tomorrow
In my pocket
I do not let go.

In Truth - Anita

In Truth
In truth the battle we forge is internal
The hip hop skipping of stones
The internal piano playing notes before dusk
The music of memory seemingly to waltz with time
I take these moments
Sweet and pungent
As I walk into the dream of today.

I Will Remember - Anita Holzberg

I will remember 
  all that there is to remember
     lost keys
        ruffled sheets
      interrupted dreams
           Waiting at the gate
no one there

I will remember You holding me
  against the tide

And that memory will stay
   like crystals meeting the dawn.

Some thoughts - Anita Holzberg

In truth the battle we face internal
the hop hop skipping of stones
the retrospect and the yearnings
Moment by moment we swim into ideas
These ideas push us forward
the day begins with a patch of blue
and marigolds hold the sun.

So Thankful - Anita Holzberg

In the sweet flow of light
  the day begins
I sit in my arm chair
  peering at the morning glories
taking in my orchid
in full sun

Days move forward
  Mid November approaching
I am thankful for everything
   family and friends
I am thankful for my students
  who are growing by leaps and bounds
I am thankful for my returning health

In these moments, the sky resounds
  and the trees reveal their beauty.  

A poem by Anita

dusk comes early
bam........the darkness floods
before 5:00
Picchu stays at the door
Waiting to be fed again
So I do just that and welcome
her in
My weekend with Owen and Evie
Outstanding
I want to bottle up that energy
I biked 6 miles at the gym
raising arms to weights
I chose some mixed veggies for dinner
along with chicken baked in agave and balsamic vinegar
I spoke to a dear friend
Life is good!

Dreams are made - Anita Holzberg

Dreams are made of satin
  and silver  
         and sequins and felt
      Dreams are what makes one
sing
      and shout 
Dreams can come in an instant
  or  at the end of of a long journey
I believe in dreams
How about You?
