As I’ve mentioned in several previous posts, I have had many experiences interacting with the spirit world.
The following are brief accounts (as well as can be explained with words) of 2 of these amazing experiences.
For the many people who wonder if this is actually possible, all I can say is:
It Could Happen to You!

Remembering….that sweet, heavenly fragrance.
Wafting through grandma’s house.
Treasured
memories
last
forever.

For those of you who missed it the first time, you might also enjoy reading this tribute to my special grandma aka “Big” Ma.
She made the best apple pies I’ve ever tasted!
FYI: McIntosh was always her apple variety preference for pies.

Intersection

Posted by Geraldine in Family and Friends, Personal Growth, Seeking Answers. Tagged: intersection, osi. 23 Comments

two lives
running parallel

two hearts
scathed by the trials of time

life, happened…
the passing parade

mere scraps to feed on
the soul left
wanting
waiting

And then…
the intersection
new direction
charting a course
hope, renewed
eyes on the horizon, now brilliant and bright

the storms will pass

we are strong, together
come
what
may…

♥♥

“Smile.. though your heart is aching. Smile..even though it’s breaking.”

Lifting the frown lines from gravity’s reach.
A grimace surfacing as a slightly apologetic grin.
Or a genuine, heartfelt, ear-to-ear, light up the room…
smile.

It’s hard, almost impossible to smile at times.
But there is always something to smile about, if [...]

Waiting on love.
Been there. Done that.
The lonely days.
Even lonelier nights.
The world made up of happy pairs.
Walking hand and hand, everywhere.
Their lives entwined and seemingly, without a care.
Waiting on love.
No more looking.
Love: in the truest sense of the word, is mine.
Looking up from my coffee cup.
Your presence warms the start of another day.
A glimpse of you, gently [...]

Haiku Reflections: Gerber Daisy

Posted by Geraldine in Family and Friends, Haiku Reflections, simple pleasures. Tagged: gerber daisy, haiku poetry, smiles. 9 Comments

This beautiful gerber daisy was a gift that I received last spring, from a couple of friends. They dropped it off where I had been working at the time, as a little “pick me up” for the day. It certainly did that and went on to weather last winter on the bathroom window sill, leaves crumpled and flowers [...]
