each
time we arrive
my
soul feels at home and sighs
this place knows my heart

Love
embraces
person
place
space
time
in the realm of
relationship
colors spill and blend
two remember one
it couldn’t be
otherwise.

firm
as darkness falls
rooted
in eternity
stands love's silhouette

My beloved and I went snowshoeing
last weekend, through forested trails, across a frozen river, up between iced
boulders. What a joy to stand with the man who holds my heart with tender love
at this place that knows my heart, where my soul sighs, recognizing home upon
the mountains, beneath the vast, open sky.
May you know you are loved in
every moment, that you are love, for that is your essence.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to love. Happy Valentine's Day, Laura.
ReplyDeletei like your thoughts on love....
ReplyDeletearriving as well...we are constantly in a state of arriving....
What a spectacularly beautiful place - glorious colors, wonderful photos. I love "this place knows my heart". I have a place like that and am visiting it this weekend. Cant wait! Beautiful post, Laura. Even more beautiful photos than usual and that is saying something.
ReplyDeletewhat a stunning series of images to behold with the one you love and who loves you!
ReplyDeleteoh nice...snowshoeing is very cool...i want to try it forever but somehow never managed so far... cool on going there with your loved one as well...what a double bliss
ReplyDeleteAnother heart-lifting meditation in photos and verse. Thank you, Laura. Beauty shared is blessed.
ReplyDeleteAs always your photos are stunning, Laura! Lovely romantic poem.
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty in your nature pictures
ReplyDeleteand in your words..
dear Laura....beyond the amazing photos, and the words, I have been thinking of Creativity, this winter blues, and the Via Negativa. Otto Rank/Matthew Fox and Rollo May all talk about creativity, and what I have come away with is this: Our creativity is forged in our encounter with opposition. This opposition can be many things, major and minor that pass through our lives, but it all serves a purpose IN our lives....it lays the fertile ground for more creative responses. So embrace the serenity, the quietude of Winter, the bareness outside, this most fallow period. It is our preparing for more creativity when the time is right. This precious Via Negativa.
ReplyDeleteLove, Jane
So beautiful! Absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the photos...the sunset is lovely. Thanks so much for your comments on my blog. I will get a macro lens one day and be able to join the meme. I find your words so comforting and inspiring to me. Words that I cannot think of to say, you seem to write for me and I say "yes" that is what I am feeling!!! Wonderful. I really like your blog.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the photos and beautiful words. In many ways winter is a time of reflection and sometimes we're forced inward by icy storms. I hope your power stays connected!
ReplyDeleteIt says so much about the kind of person you are, that you can find hearts in the most unexpected places.. places that are overlooked by so many. Long may you continue to be surrounded with love.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, dear Laura. I hope you have a magical Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures & words dear Laura ~ Thanks for sharing ~
ReplyDeleteNature is beautiful; Love is beautiful; but together, they are poetry, as are your words and photos! I found your blog because you commented on mine -- I'm signing up!

Beautiful sentiments and gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeletejust beautiful...we are very lucky to have such kindred souls in our lives...many do not.
ReplyDeletehappy day of love, passion and compassion!
Laura, what a lovely post! You really are shining your light on the Divine.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Laura!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sentiments and words. Those images - I am always thrilled when I capture such treasure. Wow. Snow shoeing is something I miss from living up North. I am a hiker - we often do that on our trips - I visited Biltmore and enjoyed hiking the grounds more than the touring the house (don't get me wrong, I loved the house) but the surrounding mountains are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place and photos. I find something deeply peaceful and inspiring about the wilderness.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...
ReplyDeleteA trip to Shine the Divine is like a trip to
The Love Spa!
You are living proof Laura that true love
Transcends any Hallmark Holiday...
Loved your Loving 55
Thank You once again for always blowing in
like a beautiful breathe of fresh air.
You are our blessed treasure, have a Kick Ass Week-End
Love it all, especially your heart shaped tree.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures! And I love the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photography and post! Love that sun flare.
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of photographs. Lucky that you met your soul mate.

The dark only stands to make the light all the more beautiful? I love your shots, and verse. Hold tight, spring is on its way. Ah, the first buds, and the crocuses... smile if you can... and if you can't, remember that the time for smiling soon returns. I found the 10,000 LUX lights to be helpful, but I would recommend a little research before diving in. Peace.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and so blessed . . .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. I'm glad you got out snow shoeing! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots. We've had hardly any snow and ice this winter. Nice that you could enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post Laura, as usual
ReplyDeletedearest,
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing so intimately your heart of hearts.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful "heart-tree"!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post this is, Laura, and your photographs are truly magnificent. I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteThere is a deep sense of quietude here--in your pictures and in your verse--amen to that Laura
ReplyDeleteInteresting that so many of the images, those beautiful lush images, are captured in blue light... calm, peaceful. By the time Valentine's Day rolls around, I'm a bit sick of blue.
ReplyDeleteHope you fare well as the skies threaten. I feel guilty... Used to live in NYC and feel like I should be experiencing that instead of the brutally cold, but lightly snowing, climes of Madison.
Thanks for hanging in with me and for the good wishes at my blog. Take care and stay warm, Amy
Another glorious post, with gorgeous photos! Nicely done Laura, as always! Aloha
ReplyDeleteBeautiful serie of photos and a wonderful post!

ReplyDeleteThank you Laura. I read your beautiful post when I linked on Saturday but forgot to come back and comment. I think about the purpose of this meme often ... slowing down to see the beauty.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful words to go with your fragile icy photos. Really inspirational. I hope spring is birthed very soon.
ReplyDeletelovely silhouette shots.
ReplyDeleteThis is a most beautiful post. In every way.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Laura!!! Your words, your photos and the heart shape tree!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that this is a real tree, I thought it was a computer animation... How great that you know where he/she/it is living!
What glorious photos, dear Laura! ((hugs)) They fill my eyes, every one of them. You are such a precious treasure.
