Words Worked

Weird... I discovered an image being circulated that includes exact lines from one of my old poems that was published prior to Internet popularity. It's cool to be plagiarized, I guess -- though I certainly don't condone the act! However, if I didn't want to share then I wouldn't have published it later on the Net too. The thing is that very many of the comments posted along with the image include statements of how the poem (it's actually a prayer) has been going around for many years and that it's been read at many a funeral to ease the pain of loss while offering hope for the future. How lovely that words can touch so many hearts! It doesn't matter that someone used words that came out of my pen to enhance words that have indeed been in use for a long time. What matters is that the words worked! I feel so honored and thankful to have been used by Spirit in this way!

Metaphorically Yours

A ball got thrown into the air, and there it stayed while with bat in hand I waited on the ground for my chance at a hit, until at last I decided to jump up and fly after it.

gratitude

Today I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the feeling of free movement & general safety. My thanks again to all who prayed for our "home" environment to improve! It was so great to be able to just open the door & take my dog out without there being terrible human behavior right at the door; The bad people all moved away! It happened so often before that there's a big brown spot worn in the grass where people used to fight close enough to splatter blood & creepy-man would stand in the yard with his arms crossed to stare inside. It was chilly today but I chose to enjoy fresh air by having the door open, & I could do that because no one was letting children shoot BB guns into my home to try to hit the pets inside, no one was grabbing at my clothes, nor yelling threatening profanity into my home, no one was scream-beating their kids or pets. It's gone and IT IS NOT WELCOME BACK: May they find healing elsewhere! Now without nearly 24/7 disturbances of violence I can heal, meditate well, and possibly begin to discover who this 41 year old Tree is going to grow into. Not every day is perfect but they are all better! /\ Namaste!

New Years Resolution

The closest thing I have to a New Years resolution is to allow myself periods of calm inactivity because I know that the true active times will be improved, causing energy to better flow. Though my body may seem inactive at times my mind and spirit are busy growing with change.
