Opened





“Opened” 

What happens inside the heart,
when the gate opens
inside the mind?

a new world summons;

it’s never too late 
to turn back, 
but – Love,

the dilemma,

which way 
now -
takes you 

Home?

(LadyLabyrinth / 2024)
A New Year, A New Life

New Years Day 
2024









"It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!" 

"'And what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversation?'" 

“Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.”

I trust hearts more than minds, and above all else, love - the meaning, the light, GOD truly is my life. Love to you always and God bless you forever and always, love, Gina

Indeed, love is our true home, our true body of being -- transformation is a thought away, a surrender away -- love is enough...all endearing presence. You get a FAV from me!

love is fond gold, to freely give not subject to space nor time, treasure of the flowered 60’s they foolishly squandered for a mere nickle and dime….

Wow! Thanks for sharing these... the lovely photos, especially your musing that exposes your "Home" thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Dear Lady Labyrinth, Your poem beautifully captures the journey of self-discovery and the courage it takes to follow the path of love. The metaphor of the heart and mind as gateways to a new world is deeply moving. Your words remind us that love, despite its dilemmas, ultimately leads us home. Brilliant work! - Blessings, Daniel

Thank you Daniel. Love is all that matters. Even for people that don't believe that, underlying everything in our life, that is the common denominator that draws us all in together. Courage? Love certainly takes courage, for it is not all calm waters we sail and there are storms to be mastered and survived. Towards the end of our Journey, if not somewhere in the middle - and wherever we are positioned in our lives (free, or not) - we learn, and come to understand, that we are all facing towards making it Home. xx

Another beautifully profound and reflective read from you dear LL. Love it. Your talent will always amaze me. I love the quotes and music too which suits it perfectly. ‘ which way now takes you home’ - indeed! I also loved ‘Where we LOVE is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts’. Such a beautiful quote dear LL and one that will be remembered by me. Thank you for sharing your gift. Hope you’ve had a great start to 2024. Hugs and blessings xx

Thank you Christina. May we all have some "kind", "loving", "empathetic", "HOME" remaining steadfast within our hearts. I feel the next year, for ALL, will require that type of "Home" inside us. Many now in this world, discover themselves without "Home" all around our planet. Our world is going through great upheavals and the qualities of Love and Kindness, pushed to the side by many, along with empathy, will need to be embraced somehow to journey through it all. All the best for your continued writing, which is beautiful, and much love, joy and peace to you and yours in this coming New Year. Leanne. xx

Sydney, Australia, will always be my Home. As for prodigies, "Home" is where their own Heart resides, and that is for progenies to discover in their own unique way. All the best for your New Year, V.S.A.S. Xx
