At the End of the Day

We may see beauty

but if it makes us feel darkness

then let it go

because at the end of the day

it is all about the message

it leaves us

Deep Marks

 

And now there are deep tire marks and an old TV thrown into my pond.

Every time I come to you, you cry for help.

What am I doing?

Nothing but wishing this obstacle away.

“Effort, tell me about effort”  

When did I start giving up?

A long, long time ago.

Too many years to say but it hit a point where null became acceptable.

 

But truth be told it was never acceptable

Yet it felt like it was the only thing I was able to do.

Life had ended so many times.

Why does my shadow face me when my back is to the sun?

Why do the leaves of summer drop to the ground today? 

Why is this withering vine facing me now?  

Spring has long left and summer a distant memory.

Leaves of brown, chilly breezes

A rustling animal in the woods is preparing for winter, preparing for winter. 

I will get that abandoned TV out of our pond NOW.

The waters have receded and I know I can reach it.

Yes, I just removed it!

But questions remain

“Where should I put it? Is it too heavy to carry it to the curb? Do I feel too uncomfortable doing so? Will someone else take it away if I leave it out in a prevalent place?”  

 

“Try... do what I can.”

It is time for me to meditate and hopefully find some answers

or just peace of mind.

Caring Support



Just because there is a possibility for doom

does not mean I must always live in fear

Let myself live moment by moment,

hour by hour

day by day

week by week

anticipating, acknowledging and accepting peace

Let it flow through every cell of my body

 

If darkness or threats appear

may I be mindful and wise  

It is not necessary to carry the weight of the world upon my shoulders 

Free myself of them

Do something to help others 

It doesn’t have to remedy all

 

Just make a

small

effort to show my caring support

Light and Clarity

 

To me g-d is nothing but light, love and peace

All has experienced it

Within stillness we can feel 

Clarity

Graduation

 

In the light of kindness and peace…today on my morning walk to my pond, I picked a flower and took it with me on my journey wondering what I should do with it. I carried it for awhile and then had forgotten that I have been carrying it. I noticed it again, so beautiful yet wild.

When I arrived at my destination, I pondered, "Where should I leave it?" I knew it would not be returning with me. With no doubt in my heart, I knew leaving it there was the right thing to do . I spied a lovely spot near the edge of the forest. I put it down and could see it radiating there with its beautiful contrasting white petals against the lush green grass. I smile endearingly and touched it again witnessing its beauty. My little flower is there and I am here...and so it shall be for now.
