Soul Spring Turning

A  L  O  H  A !
click to enlarge
You may linger
in an emerald trove
beside a 
wintergreen sea










You may trek
the sun gilded
vast









Seeking Gold






To find yourself
chasing illusions















So make the 
journey
Your Joy -

Don't forget
to see the gold
underfoot,
overhead,
inside
and beside
You!



“Now the wren has gone to roost 
and the sky is turnin' gold
And like the sky
 my soul is also turnin' - ” 

  Ray Lamontagne
What makes YOUR
Soul turn?

    Love the idea of making the journey your joy. The pictures of the elephant chasing its shadow are priceless.

    The illusions I'm chasing aren't as pretty as your wandering golden rhino. Interesting concept, to adjust the rat race. Mahalo, DrumMajor
