Perhaps just like you, I find myself on a journey of awakening to who I really am. My writing is my personal and deep exploration of what I notice along the way. I share it with the hope I am a beneficial presence for others. Blessings to you.
Mind Your Posture
Beyond What is Before You
Big Girl Pants
I noticed her struggle.
It was one of those days when
the burden of work, life, and
responsibility
made her bow low,
even as she quickly moved about.
She was weary –
maybe even in pain,
her eyes with the dark circles below which
appear regularly now,
despite daily application
of concealer.
She kept going,
kept producing,
despite her burden.
I’ve got my big girl pants on, she said.
I could empathize
because I get tired, too.
I understand how hard it is to stop
and just be –
to observe the blessings
along the way.
Perhaps one of the perks
of getting old
is that as responsibilities
and requirements
fall away,
we can finally
rest.

Grounded in Trust
Wait for Assurance
Over the Hump
Climbing can be hard work
on the muscles,
and on the spirit, too.
We can approach the mountain
in faith and,
even a sense of adventure –
until we get to
our limit.
We have gone as far as
we can go
on our own.
No progress is possible.
We are tempted to give up.
But then,
we somehow get
the boost we need.
We can move forward
with muscles ready
to work again.
As we progress,
new vistas are brought into view.
They bless us with beauty
and hope.
This is what the
miracle of grace
looks like.
We are lifted out of struggle.
We are blessed
with peace.
It is as if
a loving hand from the beyond shows up
and respectfully,
picks you up off the floor.
