Chose Light

Have I chosen this path or has it been chosen for me?

Will my next step be...

into the darkness through the light or into the light through the darkness?

 

Chose light always chose light

And So I Did

 

And this large branch was blown down in the storm

 

Its wound bore no pain just openness

From the middle jutted out virgin wood

I tried to break some off for it was so beautiful  

It would not budge
 

In the process a small remnant shattered off and fell into my hand

I held a small piece of its bark

its outside was bumpy and cold

Yet the inside was seasoned wood,

a ruddy orange almost red, a blood orange.

 It was quite jagged yet smooth in places not expected

It said quite clearly “Take me home”

and so I listened

 and so I did.

Perpetual Awe

I walk to you today

The ground maybe soggy from all of the rain these past few days

but it is firm enough for me to go forward

and forward I shall go

The art class, yoga teacher training, spending more time with my husband
Life is changing
My children are getting ready to leave the nest 
My hand is cramping from this writing

but my heart, her cup runneth over

I am so grateful

you will still be my constant

With you I have a destination
With you I have support

With you I see beauty
With you in your naked form I am never alone

To you I come as you leave me in perpetual awe

Dim

 

Today I see a dull reflection of the sun upon still waters. She whispers, “If you wait long enough the clouds will drift away and my bright light will prevail. Patience my child, patience and remember your hopes and dreams can shine bright even though my light may be dim.”
