if i were...

I saw this post from She at the blog
 She may be the song that summer sings.

If I were a month. I'd be October.

Me in October 2006

If I were a scent. I'd be Japanese Cherry Blossom.

If I were an expression. I'd be a smile.

Photos taken with tripod, and self timer, when I was in another state,
at our old house, on the backyard patio.

If I were a pair of shoes.I'd be these Fringed Wedge Booties.

If I were a color.
I'd be midnight blue.

If I were a liquid. I'd be water.

What my guy saw,
 on his bike ride the other day.

If I were a flower. I'd be a daffodil.

An object my guy captured in photo.

If I were a fruit. I'd be a strawberry.

Strawberries remind me of my husband.
 To see my strawberry blog post in November 2010 look here.

My guy looked at the grove of trees.

If I were an object. I'd be a stained glass window.

My guy watched the sun set over the lake.

If I were a gemstone. I'd be an Opal.

It has many colors, depending on the light.
It's my birthstone.
It was my great grandmother's name.

Little me, with my great grandmother's boyfriend, and my great, grandma, Opal.

If I were the weather.
I'd be sunshine with a gentle breeze,
on an Autumn day.

My husband captured the colors of the leaves.

If I were a car. I'd be an electric Mustang in blue,

(no, they don't make those yet, although some people are converting
 their Mustang vehicles into electric cars).

My art journal pages inspired by these art journal pages by Donna Downey.

If I were a taste. I'd be peppermint.

If I were a musical instrument.
 I'd be a guitar.

She welcomed the sun.
After all the grey.

If I were a sound.
I'd be laughter from a baby.

If I were a song. I'd be Imagine by John Lennon.

Imagine by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

spring green

This is me in 2006,wearing spring green,
even though it was Autumn.

I'm wearing the same belt
I wore from my post yesterday, shown here.

 ...Colors! I'm so into colors now. I want to eat food that's different colors. I can feel the wind blowing against my face and hear the woods that were mine when I was a kid...

 ...I took off my shoes and felt the cool green moss on my feet; I smelled the pine needles, the pungent earthy odor of decaying leaves...

 

...For a moment I stood in alone in a clearing, listening to the muffled silence...

...I've learned that if I shoot an arrow of truth, I must first dip its point in honey...

My nephew on a Spring day.

...I've learned the ancient lesson of apology. -OWN IT. It puts out every fire you may have walked through in life... 

My nephew with his dad.

...People often miss the silver lining because they were expecting gold... 

My nephew in his very cute hair.

...I've seen the sun go down only to be swallowed by the ocean!
Only to rise again in the morning...

My nephew with his mom.

My nephew with his grandma.

My art journal page.

...It's hard to tell who I am by the trail left by my musical career. I'm the demon  of screamin,
the dude that looks like a lady, the rag doll that married Lucy in the Sky.

Does The Noise In My Head Bother You?
by Steven Tyler

...But I'm also something more than the rock n-roll junky wh#re who got his foot inside the door. Sure, we're all the sum of our experiences. If you listen to the song I wrote in 1969, "Dream On," you might get a different view. I may have not been quite sure of what I was doing, but I was onto something. Just sayin...from Does The Noise In My Head Bother You? by Steven Tyler

Dream On by Aerosmith
"Every time when I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody sin
You got to lose to know how to win 

Half my life
Is books written pages
Live and learn from fools and
From sages
You know it's true, oh
All these things you do come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, just for today
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true 
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away"
