What Will Be
by Linda L. Dowd

The absence of sound sings in my hearing ears.
Tho’ light be lacking, it dazzles my beholding eyes.
I perceive that which is not yet perceivable,
~ As this heart feels love that has yet to bloom.

Fruit, be it green, ‘tis sweet upon my tongue.
Flowers, yet to blossom, tantalize my nose with promise.
I perceive that which is not yet perceivable,
~ And with joy I anticipate what will be.

Simply delightful, dear Linda Angelo Terrestre! The heart indeed perceives things that are not yet manifested. And you say this so beautifully. Because you see and hear beyond the surface ... I know.

Deeply enjoyable!

Love and hugs.

I loved this Linda.

How we all await a fulfilled promise, so few words speak rich volumes.

Out of reach, out of sight
I feel strange and lost
Can you lead me right?
It's too dark for me to see,
capture of soul won't you please forgive me

Just when I'd decided to erase anticipation from my vocabulary, I read this beauty...

... and remember how to believe.

Maga Margherita la Dolphina Bonita ~

We all have the power to manifest. Ofttimes when I dread something ~ It comes to pass! Almost like a self-fulfilled prophecy. I also find the coverse to be true. When I anticipate and visualize positive things ~ They usually come to pass! SO, I visualize and anticipate positive things! ~ and voila! Good things happen! ~ at least most of the time!

Even when things don't turn out as we had hoped, planned, or envisioned, at least we were able to enjoy the time in joyful anticipation instead of spending that time dreading what might eventually come to pass!

That is such a lovely username! I love the rain and I love to dance! And a "raindance" brings the promise of rain when there is a need for it!

I believe in like attracting like! So, by my being positive, I attract positivity!

Yann the Man ~

May you anticipate the best ~ and receive the best that life has to offer!

Think happy! Be happy! ~ in spite of some of the crapola that may come our way!

Afterall, happiness is a state of mind!
