happy holidays

Today I will walk out, today everything evil will leave me,
I will be as I was before, I will have a cool breeze over my body.
I will have a light body, I will be happy forever,
nothing will hinder me.
I walk with beauty before me. I walk with beauty behind me.
I walk with beauty below me. I walk with beauty above me.
I walk with beauty around me. My words will be beautiful.

In beauty all day long may I walk.
Through the returning seasons, may I walk.
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.
With dew about my feet, may I walk.

With beauty before me may I walk.
With beauty behind me may I walk.
With beauty below me may I walk.
With beauty above me may I walk.
With beauty all around me may I walk.

In old age wandering on a trail of beauty,
lively, may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty,
living again, may I walk.
My words will be beautiful.

These things I warmly wish for you.. Someone to love, some work to do, A bit o' sun, a bit o' cheer, And a guardian angel always near.

Hey, Jane!! The collage is some of my work from 2010. I thought it looked neat like that. The collage feature condenses them all to be the same size for the collage.

Merry Christmas, Joyce and Diane.

Merry Christmas to you also, Douglas. You are lucky to get margy's down there....lol. Too cold here for that....lol!

Bella Sinclair said...
