"Mom beholden to the light..."


Respecting Wellness and the protection of 'isolation,' today's visit with my son, was I standing at the closed glass door. As I looked up to the light, standing behind the reflection cast upon the glass, my son took this picture of, "Mom beholden to the light." ...and so it IS...


look I to the sun above
creation in its unconditional love
upon bough, branch and leaf there be
light in reflected glory from the grace of Thee
splendor cast in shadow and light from afar
 the sun, a shimmer, a star.

~Rose Marie Raccioppi



“Once you have tasted flight, 
you will forever walk the earth 
with your eyes turned skyward, 
for there you have been, 
and there you will always long to return.”

~ Leonardo da Vinci

Looking Skyward...



For once you have tasted flight 
you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, 
for there you have been 
and there you will long to return. 
~Leonardo da Vinci

And when your Son captures you looking skyward... 
a pause at the Tappan Memorial Park, Tappan, New York,
 feeling the embrace of the sun and the grace of the day ...
blessed be the moment...

In Haiku Reflection

to be in stillness
butterflies in lilting flight
blessed be God's grace.

This Night Crimson


The light brilliant above the trees
The air is gently cool and still
Each branch, each leaf before me motionless
The light of this day quickens to its rest

Laced in brilliant strokes of crimson
This day bids its close
The sound of crickets in blissful serenade
Feel I the caress of the coming of night
Skyward I am bound
In the embrace of Presence
In this night crimson.

Eyes Turned Skyward


Ascending ever changing sky and light
Wondrous by day, wondrous by night
Ever present waves of color crest and enfold
In awe be this celestial sea of soul.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

For once you have tasted flight
you will walk the earth
with your eyes turned skywards,

for there you have been and there you long to return.
