Lovingly Present


Memories within her fibers deep
There rests her inner child asleep
A young girl of imagination now grown
Yet in remembrance of all ever known
She is spirit free of confine
Reminding me of liberation mine
Ever embracing, discovering, initiating a knowing wise
Understanding those who may beckon demise
And so in joyful encounter she chooses to be
And awakened remains lovingly present within me.

Rose Marie Raccioppi


Young Girl Holding a Doll, Oil on canvas, Fritz Zuber-Buhler, Swiss, 1822-1896

Sarah, Thank you for choosing to follow and for your gracious comment. It has come to pass that when something, "Says so much" it is often simply because we are ready to hear. Thank you for your listening.

Hi Rosemarie-

oh so lovely she is, and her face, of innocence and depth and wisdom. I hid her for so long - and for so long she has been free. Her name, Annie", and I adore her - that part of me that is forever my core, my strength, my wounds, my hope, my faith, my promise and so much more....she is SO beautiful - thank you Rosemarie for knowing.

Love to you
Gail/ANnie
peace....

You really have the whole package. The words are stellar and the paintings fit perfectly! Some of the artwork that you find is really visually stunning.

Otin, Thanks for the favorable appraisal - I am so pleased when my intent is fulfilled. There are times, when I am in pursuit of a work of art fitting to my words, that I feel the universe is right there cheering me on to the find. And when a work of art speaks its own calling, the words are right there in abundance. All GOOD on the go!
