Waking to Peace
“Waking to a day free from the pulls of commitments allows for time and experiences to unfold with ease .
Early morning peacefulness , just before sun up , cool breezes and lone song birds seeming to take turns heralding the day’s arrival as I become aware of my breath . Slow and deep .
The light , beautiful and inviting , expands with subtlety like a whisper . I even catch a glimpse of a dragonfly floating by .
Mornings like this a cherished gift of this life . “

Kindness and Why Remembering Can Be Joyous
Dear Christmas ,
It’s been a year and here we are once again . Many say it’s the New Year but I say it’s you . The review that you offer is heartfelt and true . Thank you .
Playfullness in my heart comes alive and swishing down a store’s aisle is …what it’s all for anyway . Quiet moments and a tear or two come again . Strengthening the heart muscle so that I may give more in the year ahead . Thank you .
I think of you and see the serious but today is for the silly . The silly in you and the silly in me . Lets give kindness to the silly and dance and swish about . Thank you .
Kindness is my present to you and to me . Your list is long and worries you . ” Please , go ahead in the line . I don’t mind .” Take a breath and relieve the stress . Thank you .
Dance in the aisle or at home in the kitchen is how I’ll remember the kindness of the holiday .
