Poem, I Choose To Be Here

Though death has sought me

Several times at least.

I’ve prevailed as my will has possessed my strength

I’ve not let death decide my end,

While my decisions, and God

Have provided me a home on earth.

The distance to heaven is but a blink or Continue reading →

Last day of this cold rifle season. . . #vermonter #huntingseason #rifleseason #snowandcold #dec1 #vermontdeerhunting #woods #waiting #802 #vt #vermontwoods #vermont #vermonttraditions #peaceful
The kind of soundless winter day, On bending boughs of evergreen. The spotted bark on heavy tree trunks, Like tufts of wool on working cards. There is a texture surrounding me, That comforts like my quilted bed. Nothing empties my worries quite as well, As the silent, gentle snowfall, In this wooded place I watch With open heart and contented eyes. Blessings fall again upon me, While you are in my mind , Saving warmth for my return. © Rick Wyman . . #vermont #vermontwoods #vt #peaceinthewoods #forest #poem #instapoetry #ilovevermont #woods #vtlife #vermontbyvermonters #vermontliving #poetry #silence #silentsnow #snowywoods #blogger #mindsalvage #ptsd #snowfalling #vermontwinter #lovermont #worry

Fall in Vermont.
Looking forward to times when recovery is behind me, and just living life in enjoyment is a natural occurrence. Thank God for this beautiful season here in Vermont, as it will be healing. . . #vt #vermontisbeautiful #vermont #heal #ilovevermont #greenmountains #healing #gentlebreezes #natureistherapy #vtlife #lookingforward #thattimewillcome #soon #nature #thankful #goingstrong #hope #peaceofmind #imagine #faith #love

Spring flowers push their way through to see the sun, Babies push their way through to see the faces of love. Sharing warmth and creating beauty. Everyone means something to someone. A garden of many blossoms, tended by one, Creates a place to admire. A comforting face, seen by many, Assures that beauty comes from within. Sharing self, to make another blossom, Brings the lives of many, out into the light.
