My offering for this week:
Some days as I reflect, I am filled with hope. Our waves, in life: challenges, love, tears, nerves, and so forth, roll through, but in the end, I really feel like I am in a better place than before. And of course, I have a ways to go. My path has brought me here, to hope and joy. Today.

This one is Untitled. Hope you like it.


Getting clean and true, 
Helps me see things a new way. 
Wonders are revealed,
Nature sings with life, 
Instead of being a washed out backdrop. 
Oh, the joy of a vibrant yellow and orange sunrise, 
The day crackling with promise. 
Or the brilliant moon, Etched in a deep blue sky. 
The morning dew dancing happily on the foliage, 
The cheerful song of the wren trills over and over, without end. 
 Living clean and true washes my soul, 
To reflect out. 
We stoop under the weight of mistakes, regrets, worries and fear, 
Shame our vision clouds. 
Mercy finds us through naked disclosure. 
I see now more clearly, 
Pause and drink in the moment, 
Free.

Thoughts for a Friday

It's a glorious warm fall day here. And Friday as well! The word of the day is "Flow".

Flow

This is new

This lightness

Going with the grain

It's airy here

The yoke has been lifted

No longer clenched,

Nor closed and poised to defend. 

My head sets just a little higher

I look out a little straighter 

All I did

Was ask

And be ready and open 

It is true joy

To not be so afraid 

To be

Me.
