Remember, the time of year
when the future appears
like a blank sheet of paper
a clean calendar, a new chance.
On thick white snow
you vow fresh footprints
then watch them go
with the wind’s hearty gust.
So fill your glass. Here’s to us. Promises
made to be broken, made to last.
~ Jackie Kay

Whatever is beautiful,
Whatever is meaningful,
Whatever brings you happiness…
May it be yours this Holiday Season
and throughout the coming year.
May you take time
to celebrate the quiet miracles
that seek no attention.
May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven
around the heart of wonder.
~ John O’Donohue
from “For Presence”
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
If only I could have bottled up all that warm autumn light. Yesterday I awoke to the first snow of the season. A very different world out there now, a colder light, a quieter sort of beauty.
..and some Thanksgiving shenanigans
no words of wisdom
no thought provoking quotes
no poetry
just a quiet place
a breathing space
some respite
only images…and perhaps your own thoughts
what this site will be about for the time being
