Winter Speaks To Us

A Poem Becoming dormant like the green leaves of springtime. Closing in without closing down Hunkering in front of the fire, reading a book Bundling up to brave the wind Slowing down and going more within Giving in and going with winters movements Feeling the great quiet language of the trees as their rich inner life deepens Reaching deep inside and imagining our ancestors telling life’s stories by the fire Going into my bone marrow to remember and to make it richer as winter speaks to us in its deep growl.

 A Poem
Becoming dormant like the green leaves of springtime.
Closing in without closing down
Hunkering in front of the fire, reading a book
Bundling up to brave the wind 
Slowing down and going more within
Giving in and going with winters movements
Feeling the great quiet language of the trees as their rich inner life deepens
Reaching deep inside and imagining our ancestors telling life’s stories by the fire
Going into my bone marrow to remember and to make it richer as winter speaks to us in its deep growl.

My soothing words of wisdom for the week is about all the anger around us:

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...
