Blending to BE
You know how at times words come and they go?
Today was such a day some words came to flow
They jumped from the page as soon as I spoke
And now here once again with pen they are wrote
~
“Blending to Be” were the words that did jump
They echoed and rattled my brain with a thump
As I churned them over, what did they mean
These little three words what meanings to glean
~
To BE or not to BE, we all know that Quote
So why are these words itching to be wrote?
To BE in the moment, to BE in the now
Blending them together, a questionable how
~
Blending is mixing, like colours in a pot
My mind grasped the words unravelling a plot
If I am to BE, then what is it I’m from?
I blend the words more, before my focus is gone
~
We’re taught we are separate each journeying alone
Some born to thrive, while others become clones
Conditioned in a system that tells you how to BE
We work hard to succeed in our slave debt society
~
So why do these three words speak to me so loud?
To BE successful, important, or just to BE proud
Means nothing if not Blended with the BE of yourself
The essence of compassion, and love are true wealth
~
You first have to BE comfortable within your own skin
True wealth and happiness you’ll find from within
To Blend and feel love, as you open up your heart
Expanding with Light, as you forgive ALL the Dark
~
So “Blending to BE” yourself, is the best you can BE
To BE means to focus, The Now is the Key
Each moment is precious, so Blend your time well
We’re only given a short window in Earth’s Magic spell
~~~~~~~
This poem was written 7th February after writing Blending to BE words in a comment on someone’s blog post. These words then jumped back up at me, and I knew I had to write a poem about them.. Soon after as I awoke in the middle of the night, I reached for my journal and the above poem was born..
The image of the BEE mandala, I painted around a month ago and I thought now was the time to connect the BEE with the BE…
BE—- LOVE.

“Serendipitously Awesome Post” – AGAIN! Well…kind of on the serendipity portion – – – I just got in from library and am reading through David Whytes, “Consolations” – A book of short essays on everyday words – I confess to really ‘girding my loins’ to make it two the second word, as the first and his essay didn’t ‘land’ or connect with anything within me, except for the thought, “hmmm…if a vast majority of people feel this way, no wonder things are mucked up in our modern society – ” – 🙂 Alas, the immersion into the phrase or word that comes into the mind, unbidden – or, as happened to me, yesterday, out of my mouth, and then I immediately said, “Why did I say that? I don’t even know where that mountain is – or why it came out my mouth” – :). Words/phrases contemplation is, IMHO, as much fun as delving into snippets of music one wakes up to or conetemplation of the whisps of dreamworld that remain with us as we land back ‘here’ – 🙂

‘Blending to be’ – three simple words compress the universe Sue. While some are told ‘be yourself’ others struggle to blend. Battles refuse to cease despite the blending efforts and hypocrisy blends in unawares. I love your interpretation of the expression – expand your light and shun “slave debt society.” Thanks for sharing this thought-provoking poem. Love and hugs.

Hello Colleen M. Chesebro,
How nice of you to share your lovely moon-themed clipart showing your poem as follows:
Please kindly let me rhyme with your poem with my moon poem entitled “🎴 If My Name Were Moon Tonight… 🌛🌝🎑🈷” published at http://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/if-my-name-were-moon-tonight/
Dear Sue,
It seems that you have fully returned to the world of blogging, as I can see that you have been as busy as a bee!
After reading your two latest posts and the numerous comments, I ran out of time to make a comment yesterday, as I had to attend to some errands.
Thank you for keeping us abreast of the latest happenings and activities in your life, plus your wonderful paintings! What fantastic creativityy and imagination you do have! If you keep going like this, you will need an art gallery to showcase them. 🙂
By the way, I have not forgotten about replying to your lovely comment at my post entitled “Khai & Khim: For Always and Beyond Goodbye”. Please bear with me as I shall eventually give you a very bespoke reply that you deserve. I still miss mum every day, and I have been expanding on the eulogy cum memoir even more.
Meanwhile, I have published a new post entitled “🦅 SoundEagle in Chinese New Year Celebration, Spring Festival, Lion Dance, Food, Ornaments, Traditional Culture and Architecture 🏮🎋🦁🥗🎐㊗️⛩”.
Though my said post is very long and encyclopaedic, the three navigational menus there can help you to jump to any section of the post instantly so that you can resume reading at any point of the post over multiple sessions in your own time.
Please enjoy the said post’s attendant “attractions” and multimedia extravaganza taking you on a worldwide cultural journey.
Any of your Chinese friends would be very impressed or even shocked if you were to regurgitate to them just a fraction of the contents of the said post.
If you like cooking, there are some fantastic food and yummy cuisines to tempt you in the post, plus a lot of videos showing how the Chinese New Year is celebrated in different countries and regions of the world.
May you and Colleen have a lovely March and a wonderful springtime!

It suddenly dawns on me that since you have such a great interest in the visual arts, and since your paintings are so laced with meanings, perhaps you would like to consider being interviewed by SoundEagle online later in the year.

Its our Job I feel Mark… this Blending…. We shake up a few colours set them in order of our thoughts and allow others to use the paint to create their own canvas… We tell no one how to BE…. But just ask them to look more closely at their BEing.. 🙂 and what roles they play in the world that creates their reality…. When they BEcome aware of their power… Their BEing then begins Blending their own thoughts, into new perspectives and colours, And so as one thought passes to another… It can grow.. Its all about our choices of what we want to BEcome…. Do we want to spread Disharmony or do we want to BE spreading Love…

Busy as a Bee blending art and poetry: rich and sweet as honey, and nourishing for the soul. ‘Tis always a pleasure to read your posts Sue, to ponder over your paintings, and grant your words freedom to roam the mind. You make good use of those wee small hours when sharing the company of silence you are alone with your quiet thoughts.
We are stirred so many ways throughout the day, blending different parts of ourselves together in response to situation and circumstance. Rarely do we find respite from the need to do so, but fulfilment comes when we achieve our goals or realise our objectives. But the sweetest reward is often found when we’ve acted with Love and given honestly without sense of obligation or duty – or desire for gratification – to matters that enrich our hearts and blossom our inner-garden. Perhaps then we are like the Bee who tirelessly works for the good of the community (its extended family) rather than meeting the needs of itself.
Charmed as always by the enchantment of Earth’s magic spell. Have a great week, take care,

You always put so much thought into your responses Dewin, thank you… 🙂 And yes those awake small hours of the night are usually always productive, if not from writing in my journal then I get out the knitting needles till my eyelids droop lol.. Those quiet hours the best hours when our brain matter is less cluttered by the WiFi, and microwaves that criss-cross in and out of our grey matter..
I agree with your words Dewin… Indeed, the Giving is the gratification… The BEE indeed works tirelessly and when one understands the life of a BEE it never stops until it’s energy is spent..
Would that more would work for the good of their communities instead of Self.. But perhaps nature is already one step ahead of us on that one as she brings into our awareness the need to co-operate with one another instead of BEing in Conflict with one another..
Many thanks again Dewin for your lovely comment… 🙂

You’re most welcome Sue 😀 I often engage with your posts in the small hours when after a busy day there is chance to enjoy some peace and quiet and opportunity to think. There is always worth to be found in your words.
Knit one purl one, pause to ponder, write a line or two. Yes, I can appreciate how knitting and writing are complementary: knitting being a sort of meditative practice, a dreaming space between lines 😉
It would certainly be a wonderful life if the antiquated human desire to dominate, decimate, divide, and impose our will upon another for personal gain ceased and the world lived in Love and went in peace. Nature evolves and as we are a product of nature it is inevitable that human-beings will eventually evolve as well: not so much a change in our heritable biological characteristics – we are the dominant species on Earth – but in our individual and collective psychology and (hence global) behaviour. Finite resources will require us to co-operate for no one country is an island.
You know, if everyone were to wake just once in the wee small hours and in a quiet meditative moment come to understand that, ‘The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature’ — Joseph Campbell – how different the waking dawn might be.

Lost internet for a bit but will write this again. Love the beauty of your mandala and your words. I was raised in a very ethnically diverse family, the only one I know of, in a middle class neighborhood. It was difficult to fit into the elementary school I attended as well as fit into the family of which I was born into. My mother’s family and my father’s family were worlds apart and I had to adjust to being part of them both…a difficult thing to do. I am only now at nearly age 68 understanding who I am and the wonder of that being so that I can ‘Be’ that which is ‘Blended’. Thank you for sharing these words. xoxo

This is a beautiful post and poem Sue. To be read and savoured slowly, which is what I did, your words resonated deeply.
And your bee mandala is simply magical. A perfect accompaniment to your deeply provocative poem. Bee happy Sue and thank you. I loved it all. xx 💜

Sometimes some words take hold of us when they were rejected by the clocks that stop time. They come in, moisten our mind and we find the right meaning after traveling throughout our interior. It has revealed a truth to us, which will help us understand that everything is combined to find happiness within our being. A great poem Sue. I enjoyed it and it leaves me a deep reflection.
A good weekend for you and your family.
Your painting is great. You play with colors to draw attention to the bee.
A veces algunas palabras se apoderan de nosotros cuando fueron rechazadas por los relojes que detienen el tiempo. Entran, humedecen nuestra mente y encontramos el significado correcto después de viajar por nuestro interior. Nos ha revelado una verdad que nos ayudará a comprender que todo se combina para encontrar la felicidad dentro de nuestro ser. Un gran poema Sue. Lo disfruté y me deja una profunda reflexión.
Un buen fin de semana para ti y tu familia.
Tu pintura es genial. Juegas con los colores para llamar la atención sobre la abeja.

hooooooWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLooooo Sue! No comments open?? Really?!! I didn’t know that…thanks for mentioning it. I’ll check the settings although I know I haven’t been near them! Didn’t expect comments anyway after my prolonged absence, just posted as a way of announcing my return😉More important to try to rebuild relationships right now and I think that’s best done by visiting and commenting rather than looking for anything my end😊
Yes…the thought of expanding Earth made me smile and created some great mental visuals!
I’m dry and above water to date, as I very much hope you are too! We escape most serious weather issues here but what about where you are? Not too watery I hope! Looking forward to spring and some light!! Being prone to weather sensitivity the short dark days can be pretty hard-working. Seems one of my plants suffered too, dying from lack of light😯All its leaves peeled off leaving just a very white bleached stump to my disconcertion. It had a pest problem so couldn’t risk keeping it upstairs with its pals and it couldn’t cope with the low light. I consoled myself with pancakes last night however! Ummmmm!!🥞Great big hugs for you! Love Wolfie🐺👍🙃

Yes the weather has been dark Wolfie, not much light these cloudy days.. But thankfully like you we are on a hill and while roads have been flooded with water running off of fields and springs bubbling up and running off, we have escaped unlike other towns…
I made Pancakes last week for my granddaughter as she was on a school trip for several days in the Peak this week..
I checked back and no I cannot see a comment box, yet can on your other posts So don’t know what happened…

Hope your grand-daughter enjoyed her trip, not the best conditions for it! I had a few days holiday around then and it wasn’t much fun in the storms! Stay dry and safe🙂Wolfie hugs xx

What a perfect share, in every way! I’m so glad for reading these elegant words, your poem. 💗 Absolutely love that bee mandala as well. It reminds me of a painting my mother did when I was a little girl. It was a similar geometry and with a plant in the center circle. In my medicine woman ritual work I do now, I am an apprentice with the lineage of the house of bee. Love this!!! So glad to see it. I’m having a spot of insomnia and your post is welcome receiving! Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week.

Sue, I love your post and although I’m late to your post it struck a chord with me instantly! How often don’t we try to BE something else beside ourselves, to force to BE something different, to what we think is necessary to fit in, to conform and in the process never giving ourselves to chance to know our own soul, thoughts, being!
An inspired piece and how wonderful that the words jumped from your pen, reflections arising from a comment you wrote elsewhere. Fantastic! As for the mandala … so many have said it before … this is exquisite. The BEE is perfect for your BE and the colours are vibrant and in harmony!
Thank you for post that gives us both beauty and wisdom … and one that will stay with me.
Wishing you a fabulous rest of the week, may the sun continue to shine, we need it so much! With much love, Annika xx 🌺🌸🦋 🐝

Argh thank you Annika… that is so true, we can spend a life time trying to BE what others want us to be.. And never truly pleasing ourselves and BEing what we want to BE.. I am always in ore at how the Universe works and none so more than today for me, when you see how synchronicity works prompting us to BE ..
Thank you Annika for your compliments of both poem and painting… knowing my posts reach out and mean something to others is my greatest motivation..
