Steady thrum
Hear that?
It’s coming….. marching forward. Crimson light against the dark.
Undulating pulse, slow crescendo building power
Of change.
Wait….. patience
Slow tear. Delicious pain of emergence.
Hear that steady thrum?
It will not be stopped.
See Me
Strip away artifice
Pull apart false ego
Honesty in flaws
Honesty in success
Honesty in pain
Honesty in joy
Trust the truth will connect
Trust that deep abiding love will prevail
Trust the forgiveness of damaged souls
Take off the mask
Wipe your eyes clear
Beauty is not in perfection
Perfection is in the flawed
Overwhelmed
Heavy
Can you run?
Heavy
Can you breathe?
Heavy
Can you speak?
Chains- old, rusted
Heavy
Still
Heavy
Shallow
Heavy
Silence
Take a Breath
Take a breath
Feel the ground beneath your feet
Hear the beat of your heart
Let it steady you
The roll and pitch of life
Pushes up against you
It’s ok love
It’s only a moment
Take a breath
Feel the water wash over you
Wash away the sad
Nourish the new
The roll and pitch of life
Pushes up against you
It’s ok love
It’s only a moment
Take a breath
Feel the light surround you
Warmth and strength from the infinite
Bloom and open your heart.
The roll and pitch of life
Pushes up against you
It’s ok love
It’s only a moment
And who might you be?
One of my most favourite quotes is by Lord Byron, ‘I must write to empty my head or I shall surely go mad.’
There are millions of blogs out there. Why add another voice to the chorus? I like to write. Why should you follow mine? I hope you like to read. Do I have a theme? Not exactly, I think I have many. Am I doing this for fame? No, I am doing this to empty my very busy brain. A lifestyle blog? No, I don’t want to tell you how to live. A humour blog? I am hopeful that I will write more than just tragic tales and you’ll have a giggle or two. A learning blog? I am hopeful for a bit of that as well. I am very curious about the world around me and how I relate to it, and I do love to share what I have discovered. I also will randomly write poetry and fiction too. So I guess, really, if I were to pick a theme I’d have to say that I am inviting you on a sight seeing tour in my head. If I gain some readers than I am lucky and hopefully you will be touched, learned something and entertained.
I have long been putting some of my random thoughts on life, dealing with my anxiety disorder, (you’ll probably learn lots about that over time) and general silliness on Facebook and Instagram. I had a blog many years ago- I let it slip away. I decided to start again in part so I can move a majority of my writing to one place. So for some of who know me from those other forums, a few of these pieces may seem familiar, but trust I will have still more to say, new adventures and observations to report, so new things will be posted in various places.
I guess some of you may want a few actual details- I am 46 next week, I am a quick witted, a wee bit twisted, creative, generous, loving, strong human. I am a wife, mother, friend, teacher, massage therapist, pagan. There is my quick introduction. I guess the journey has begun.
