Poem: Time

Lost in thought Looking out my window into the beyond, imagined and real In the past and the present at the same time Aware of my dogs at my feet and the trees and squirrels out my window And yet in another world Just as real, just as potent The world of my past The world of my body The world of the seen The world of the unseen Seeing shapes in trees and faces in flowers Putting words to the shapes and faces Where did those words come from? Some deep integral place inside of me Lost in thought Lost in memory Aware of time passing Not aware of time passing Here and not Time, what is time?

Time

Lost in thought
Looking out my window into the beyond, imagined and real
In the past and the present at the same time
Aware of my dogs at my feet and the trees and squirrels out my window
And yet in another world
Just as real, just as potent
The world of my past
The world of my body
The world of the seen
The world of the unseen
Seeing shapes in trees and faces in flowers
Putting words to the shapes and faces
Where did those words come from?
Some deep integral place inside of me
Lost in thought
Lost in memory
Aware of time passing
Not aware of time passing
Here and not
Time, what is time?


My soothing words of wisdom for the week is about the finding a balance within yourself through the conflict and strife going on around us:

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...

Fueling the Creative Fire

“There are always flowers for those who want to see them.”                                                                                             - Henri Matisse When we finally get to the root of our issues, there is one main issue that all others connect to like the spokes in a wheel.  This core issue colors everything about us.   Throughout our lives, we keep learning about this core issue in different ways and through different lessons. My core issue has to do with feeling like I am not eno...

Grateful For Life

Image
“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. It made me grateful for life itself and all of the things that make up this gorgeous experience on Earth. November’s blogs will focus on The...
