‘Tis the Season to Be Delighted

April 1, 2022March 31, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ 1 Comment

A gentle breeze caresses my now-bare armsAs I’m delighted by the charmsThe sun’s warmth rests upon my shoulders Shining upon me as I stare at the lush greenery set against the bright blue skyLower my gaze to the pinks, rouges, and whitesI’m seated but I’m taking flightMesmerized and delighting in pleasureTaking in Earth’s most special … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season to Be Delighted

That Same Girl

March 28, 2022March 27, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

The girl who danced her ass off to R&B music this morning Is the same girl who is pensively journaling on her tried and true picnic blanket this afternoon Is the same girl who finds these different aspects in opposition to each other Is the same girl who wonders why the complexity of a human … Continue reading That Same Girl

Birds Atop Trees and Phone Wires

March 14, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

For you, it’s simple chatter For me, it’s all that mattersFor stuck inside these four wallsI hear how nature callsI no longer feel unsettled and alone Wherever I go, in Nature I find home

Let the Sun Shine

February 26, 2022March 6, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Your warm embrace All my painful memories erasedYou hold me, ever present The old me wasn’t present But now I’m sustained Purely by the shine of your rays

Nature Walk

Water glistening over rocksYou said you’d meet me by the docks But I preferred to go aloneTo where the Wind Whispers and the Sun has Shone

Thanksgiving Outdoors Style

November 27, 2021November 27, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

My husband and I moved to Georgia when my daughter was just a bun in the oven. We miss our immediate families on Thanksgiving, but enjoy taking advantage of the gorgeous autumn weather. One year we spent Thanksgiving at Lake Lanier. This year we went for a hike at Amicalola Falls. Both times were sunny … Continue reading Thanksgiving Outdoors Style

ThanksGiving

November 26, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving and enjoys the holiday weekend. There’s so much to be grateful for. I’m so grateful for my sweet kitty. I don’t know what I would do without her. She is quirky and adorable and so freakin’ fluffy and soft. And my child? My husband? My heart is so connected … Continue reading ThanksGiving

Sun-Glazed Treetops

November 17, 2021November 16, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Looks like at least one artist had a fascination with the aforementioned sun-glazed treetops (my new phrase—hey, they have less calories than glazed donuts with just the same pleasure, right?) Mural at Today’s Manicure Place And when I came home, I got a great shot! Looks like when we open up to seeing certain things, … Continue reading Sun-Glazed Treetops

Flowin’ Like a Fountain

September 29, 2021September 28, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Fountains are very meditative and calming, as well as refreshing, to look at. To me, they represent Joy, in their effusive, unabashed expression. They are flowing, expressing themselves freely, not self-conscious of what people who look on at them think of them. People can be like fountains—when they speak from their heart and are authentic, … Continue reading Flowin’ Like a Fountain

What is Joy?

July 1, 2021July 1, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ 3 Comments

I passed by a fountain during my lunch break walk. I thought, “That fountain looks so happy!” What does that even mean? How can a fountain be happy? Because the water was gushing out unabashedly. It didn’t care how messy it was. It wasn’t self-conscious about what others thought of how it expressed itself. It … Continue reading What is Joy?
