Reflections: Poetry and Illustrations

With poetic words we try to comprehend the everyday mysticism we don't understand. To Happiness, Love, Joy and their sister Sorrow, and this sacred, energetic, and vibrant dance called life! ~Lisa Herman-Gagnon~When I was young, life appeared simple and good. I was sure I had a good grasp of things and that I understood what "It" was all about. But that is part of the sweet innocence of youth. Now that I am older, I realize that life,in it's infinite splendor and wisdom, is full of twists and turns and surprises. I am no longer so concerned about keeping hold of that certainty I held so tightly to as a child. For I see life as an exciting whirlwind, with lessons to learn and places to see. Some fight against it, and others do not. Some just walk the "middle ground". I choose to be just one of many leaves blowing in her winds, asking my questions along the way and learning what it is to truly live. I have already found some answers in the many truths to be found in dreams, realities, the spirit, and in mans nature. And I have also come to realize that for some questions, their are just no answers.
