Rebecca  | One impulse from a vernal wood
May teach you more of man,
Of moral evil and of good,
Than all the sages can.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.~B.Auerbach
 I'm not tied to any one genre; I like what touches my soul.
 | She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear
their dwelling place.
And on that cheek,
and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win,
the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
~Lord Byron

Just a Thought:
 | It is not so much for its beauty
that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts,
as for that subtle something,
that quality of air,
that emanation from old trees,
that so wonderfully changes
and renews a weary spirit.
~R.L. Stevenson |

"A Continuing Journey"
 |
According to my mother I've an 'old soul'. That is something with which I have always been comfortable; it just feels right. Happily, this 'old soul' continues to
make its journey with a 'young heart', and that makes for quite a trip no matter what turns, bumps, or potholes might be along the way. |
Let's see...what else...
I was born and raised in the Land of Enchantment, USA, and have spent most of my life here.
 Very happily married with five children:
a son and four 'little' ones - Murphy and her three pups: Mouse, Molly, & Mister.
 | My better half is retired Air Force. He is now an on-call technician, and really enjoys his wood shop. |
I taught Special Education for several years; my greatest enjoyment was working with the severely emotionally disturbed/behavior-disordered.
I enjoy spending time with my husband, taking care of my family and home, having fun dabbling in a variety of hobbies, and exploring my spirituality.
|  |
I do consider myself to be more of a spiritual person rather than a religious person. I do believe God is very much a part of my life and who I am. I had a Baptist upbringing, and credit my grandparents for being wonderful Christian role models while I was growing up.
I also believe I am a part of all that's around me, a bit of what's been, what is, and what's to come--a little bit of space and time and the universe. We are, after all, "star-stuff".
I welcome the opportunity to learn new things from those I meet, and hope that I offer something new to them. In short, I don't limit myself to one view when it comes to my spiritual growth. There is so much out there to learn about and understand. Why would I short-change myself with closed-mindedness?
