Being

Bella Shepard


Notice of absence from Bella Shepard
After dealing with some health issues for the last few months, I have decided to take a leave of absence until the dust settles and the clouds go away. I feel badly that I have been absent so much, for I miss my friends. I hope to be back before too long. I also hope that all of you will all be safe and well.

 

 

Have you ever felt

The overwhelming feeling

Of simply being

    I be - or I not be? That is the question!
    It's cultured on 'ere, ya know - bit of Shakespeare there, a little mis-quoted! lol.

    • Bella Shepard

      I'm impressed Orchi, nice try. Somehow I always knew that deep down inside you were highbrow. Have a good one my friend!

      • orchidee

        Shakey also wrote some rubbish in places, I think! lol. That's about one of about three quotes I know from him. heehee.

        Being...still...present? Yes! 🩷

        • Bella Shepard

          Thank you my friend, it's breathtaking when it comes along.

          Are we human beings
          Or human becoming
          Short sharp and thought provoking

          • Bella Shepard

            You pose the question of the ages. Thank you my friend for reading and enlightening comment!

            Only those lucky enough can say yes. And yes! it's an amazing feeling to just be, be still, be a part of everything, finding symbiosis. Terrific haiku!

              Thank you so much for commenting. It is an amazing feeling, and it can come in the simplest way, when you least expect it.

              ever so and often .. but not so much these daze .. till now & it hit me too, yet so very tenderly .. 💛

              • Bella Shepard

                You bring a smile to my face dear friend. Those moments are so very special, and so lovely to share. As we said in the sixties "Peace & Love" dear Nev!

                Yes - comes when suddenly aware that sometime I won't be, but right now I am.

                (not a bad or sad feeling).

                • Bella Shepard

                  Isn't it wonderful when it does come, and so glad you are in the zone right now. I wish we could bottle it. Take care dear Dave!

                • orchidee

                  Though I know two or three of Shakey's quotes - 'Hamlet' is quite 'quote-y', if that's even a word?! lol.

                  • Bella Shepard

                    I actually think that is a word, or should be. You're right about Hamlet, just wish things had turned out better for him. But then that's Shakey. Take care dear Orchi!

                    • orchidee

                      I quoth Shakey - not always accurately! lol.

                    • L. B. Mek

                      crazy how in-sync two strangers can be
                      "Sometimes, as I drift idly on
                      Walden Pond,
                      I cease to live and begin, to be.”
                      lol
                      so surreal this journey guided by Poesy's ink

                      • Bella Shepard

                        Your comment in itself is worthy of Poesy's ink. Thank you so much for being you!

                      • NikNak73

                        More than I would like to admit 🙂

                        • Bella Shepard

                          It is a strangeness hard to define. Thank you so much for reading and commenting.
