Mirages by Carolyn Chilton Casas The years scroll by, and I, not yet aware of what I will become— only mirages at a distance, like imagined water in the desert, of where I might go and where I have been. Continually startled by unexpected beauty and the sting of pain. Warm Santa Anas blow the mist of cresting waves away from shore, while vultures devour a seal carcass on the shifting sand. And still, there are days I live as if death were not on the nearing horizon. Carolyn Chilton Casas is a Reiki Master and teacher. Her favorite themes to write about are awareness, healing, and the life journey. Carolyn's articles and poems have appeared in Energy , Odyssey, Reiki News Magazine, The Art of Healing, Touch, and in other publications.
