What does soul mean?
I pondered and began to write, letting words choose themselves, the most fun aspect of creative writing. Written colors paint themselves.

The soul is the shape of...actually many shapes and sizes. The soul lives in all creatures great and small through timeless time. Souls live in oceans, streams and ponds, fields, mountains, and clouds. The soul is nestled in the fern and the flowering plant, the grasses, the mushrooms, soils, and root systems. Souls thrive in the grasslands, the desserts, the ice: melting and solid. Winds, gentle and strong, make up the soul.

The soul is in every mineral, rock, and crystal, every grain of sand...every cloud every mist, every storm.
Every Dark, Every Dawn....
Every Photon
The soul lives in meditations, in dreams, in deep rest. The soul radiates in imagination and creative energy, in scientific experiment, in research and discovery, in healing and recovery, in awe and wonder.
The soul is beyond limits, a plan without boundaries. A pathless plan is the soul, always a surprise. The soul is ever shifting in radiant colors, visible and beyond the visible spectrum. The soul vibrates in frequencies, audible and inaudible.
The silent voice of the soul is intuition.
The soul is an evolving door: specializing in * "paradox, humor and change." We are not sure about the "humor."

"Where is it not?"

* A MAY TIME VILLANELLE
* Original Poem by Isabel Jackson
A May Time Villanelle
After Six Months of Grey
This week in May my world is turning green
Blossoming fruit trees are lush with flowers
After six months of grey, bright colors seen
In every yard color bursts on the scene
Delicate trout lilies bloom for just hours
This week in May my world is turning green
Baby-hand leaves on white ash trees glow green
For three short days the magnolia will flower
After six months of grey, bright colors seen
Japonica crowned with red for a queen
April and May bring unending showers
This week in May my world is turning green
Starkly white dogwood appear on the scene
To the peak of a house a lilac towers
After six months of grey, colors are seen
Ornamental plum, cranberry-red sheen
Azaleas will challenge the artist's powers
This week in May my world is turning green
After six months of grey, bright colors seen
Reflection: The spring green returned and now summer's lush growth is here. Colorful birds chirp and fly. Enjoying Isabel's poem brings bright images and memories of spring's rebirth.
"After six months of grey...."
Moments of Joy~
"A garden is a delight to the eye and a solace for the soul," Saadi
"The friend is here," Rumi
"Now is the moment that never ends," Deepak Chopra, M.D.
