Mountains of Blue: Forest of the Three Sisters

"Mountains of Blue: Forest of the Three Sisters"



Mystery mist whispering over Mountains of Blue
where angels set secret prayers 
on the wings of swans who only speak home truth
soaring high upon Heaven’s stairs 
singing loud and clear
new dreams do bloom

(Lovejoy-Burton/August 2018)










“This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed.”

D.H. Lawrence

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton Date: 8/23/2018 2:13:00 AM To rebel is a lesser priority, the connotations of that word can hold a negative weight; in this Life, it is very important to be yourself not a pale imitation of someone else. Authentic. "To thine own self be true". If I was going to throw a word in the ring for my daughter, it would not be the word 'rebel', but it certainly wouldn't be the word 'follow'. Kishan Sharma Date: 8/23/2018 12:22:00 AM Because you can not move forward without his rebellion.Therefore,in life,it is very important to be a rebel.
