The Sleeping Lady lies Nestled in the arms Of the Cascades towering Dressed in green bough ruffle And silent satin sweep Blanketed by fresh fallen snow In soft white billows Draped in the magical shimmer Of frost kissed diamonds Drifting in quieted slumber To the hushed lullaby of Grandmother Wind Guarded by the watchful eye Of wise old Grandfather Moon Encircled within the guarding whispers Of ancient Shaman blessings She lies in wait for her children To come rest upon her breast And taste the succor Of soul felt reprieve s.a.t. note: the Sleeping Lady is a resort that is nestled in the quiet of isolation in the Cascade mountains. There is no TV or automated entertainment - it is a place for recovery of the inner peace so denied us by the pace of the outside world - Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Susan You carry your inner still within you. I tend to call these places Bolt Holes. If you make South Wales try Misking Manor. I can't afford now, I wish I could. regards Dave |

Without your footnote it reminded me of my home actually and I thought the Sleeping Lady was a mountain  Beautiful writing Susan, and Happy Holidays to you. |

She is a lovely place - restful, beautiful - especially blanketed in snow - Ah Dave - but for the generosity of my employers that sent us for the stay, I could not have afforded such a retreat myself - well, I guess I should say allowed myself such an indulgence  Hugs all - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Smiling - perhaps we should have a poet's retreat there? Could be fun Morning all - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
