Prairie Ponderings
walking among the tall prairie grasses
golden sunlight awakens my dormant dreams
timeless rhythms pound in my heart
~
golden colors feed unknown primal longings
to be one with the prairie
trusting, growing, rooted in rich earth
~
My walk through the prairie awakened dormant longings and feelings that I can’t describe. There is something very primal about the look and feel of prairies for me. I hope you have a chance to experience some of the prairie lands that fed the growth of this country, starting with the mammoth, then bison, native americans, settlers, farmers and the industrialization of America.
To peaceful prairie ponderings!
writing to freedom 
that must be a very beautiful landscape. I could imagine how the bisons were running around there…..

Since early childhood I loved cowboy and Native Americans films in the prairie. Always wanted to marry one of these guys, hehe Things never turn out the way you expect.

lol, I liked playing cowboys and indians as a child. Then when I visited the reservations later in life, it opened my heart to the great injustice of how we have treated the native peoples.

Well spoken, my friend. I especially love the sound of a breeze whistling through the tall grasses – a subtle whisper that begs for your attention. Couple that with the way these prairie grasses bend and dance in the same breeze – it’s a wonderful reminder that we can adapt to changing conditions while, as you so eloquently state – remain rooted in rich earth.

Thank you Cynthia. So so, I’m feeling the urge to contribute and create income, yet I don’t really want to work. Paradox. 🙂

If you can afford to not work for a while, could you not just take time out from worrying about finding a job? Just wondering.

A short break, but I don’t want to repeat the cycle that led to selling my house. 🙂
