Into The Stillness Poem


Into the stillness of the night

The silence is as penetrating as the cold night`s air

Grey skies encircle above

Snaring the birds in its misty claws

Spitting small snowflakes in its wake

Feeling the vibration of the dormant trees

As they rest in drowsy alertness

Closing my pores to the arctic chill

Trying to emulate the tall dormant warriors

Silently making my way to the warmth and light of my house

Anticipating the heat of a hot cup of tea lightly cradled between my hands

Sinking into the silence of the night

Of a winter's evening.


Getting into the stillness and energy of the season. There is truly a time for all seasons. As I settle into the winter's season, I learn from the trees and gently move into a quiet stillness. 


Happy winter to us all.

Grateful For Life

“Thank you is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.”                                                                                             Alice Walker This past February, I had an experience that shifted me.   The experience made me aware of a greater power taking care of me; a silent partner.

Open Your Heart to the Power of Love

Image
“Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.” -   Unknown It is February. If you are like me, I find this month challenging because it is about this time when I am getting tired of the cold and shorter days. And we have at least another month of cold and snowy weather to come. Yet, it is at this time when we have a holiday to celebrate love; and which warms our hearts. Even though warmth is not in the air yet, celebrating who we love is. I’d like to share a true story about the power of love and its ability to warm our hearts and help us to move gracefully through the rest of winter. There is a man who was married for just a few years who was getting to know his wife’s family and was becoming closer to them. This man came from a very different family from his wife’s. In his family, no one spoke about their feelings, his siblings were not close, and if his father told him he would be there, he the son, never knew if his father woul...

How To Replace Shame With Acceptance

Image
"To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; Not to realize that you do not understand is a defect." -Lao Tzu I was reading a very long online conversation about shame, and some folks also spoke about the concept of healthy shame. I am of the mind that there is no such thing as healthy shame, but there is such a thing as shame, and there is such a thing as acceptance. When we carry shame of any kind, growth is almost not possible. Have you ever experienced feeling exposed and feeling bad about yourself? Have you ever felt that you were afraid to tell someone something about yourself; that if you did you may not be accepted? Those feelings are aspects of carrying shame. I think we all carry such feelings at some times. Hopefully, we don`t very often, and hopefully, we are able to recognize when we do and do the necessary feeling and thinking to transform our shameful feelings into acceptance of ourselves. We all make mistakes. We all unintentionally hurt people,...
