You are here.

In time

it will all come

in that order of perfection

the whys all slowly revealed

the upward growth continuous and encoded

the wind clearer

sun more vibrant

all of the veils peel away

like the skin to an onion

the closer you get to it's core the more your eyes water and sting

cleanse and heal

It is all an intricate puzzle.

We need only to pay attention to what catches our eye or our ear or our heart.

We don't need to rush it.....

slow down

breath

close your eyes

feel your heart beating

and be grateful for that miracle

that is you

that is life

you are here.

oh sweetness

in a simple cup of tea
a warm bed
two sleeping children
and a wife who loves me so fully.

Looking forward t o sweet dreams tonight.

Goodnite my loves!

Pirates and Rainbows and dolphins, oh my....

Sometimes a plain old Saturday evening can become a very magical time.
Thank you to all who came to celebrate the summer and the late sunset with us.
Some acts of beauty you couldn't order up if you tried.
Here's to the ridiculous perfection of pirates arriving at the perfect time throwing booty into the sand for our children to grab up.
Here's to storms that hold off for our evening to progress.
Here's to rainbows off in the distance.
Here's to swimming at sunset in a light sprinkling of rain.
Here's to gratuitous dolphins who hung out long enough for everyone to see.
Here's to showers at the beach and straight into PJ's.
Here's to good friends and a little slice of paradise.
With Gratitude for a beautiful evening!

simple wisdom

Shiny beads
Still
and swirling.

Cleansing of things

washing and clearing

potential unfolding

inside of me

gratitude lurking.

Follow your own advice, she thought

Just be and it will come

but you really have to let go....really.

observations of the day

The day may find you..
before you have awakened.

It may wake you softly with sunshine
or loudly with rain.

It will watch as you open your eyes and stretch out your body.
It will welcome you with joy and hope.
each day holds your promises and your potential.

it is a gift slowly being unwrapped.

It may challenge us or leave us feeling bored
we may end the day excited to begin the next or tired and weary.

each day the sun will rise and the sun will set.

we will inhale and exhale

chew and swallow

stand and sit

let us do these things well, with as much attention as we can

for if all of the days simply float by while we are waiting for something else to happen we just might miss the good, simple parts of being human.

take a moment to look around and find something you are in awe of.

yourself is a good place to start.

Three Wheeled Journey

Stepping out into the street
Once again, timing is everything

ignoring the knats swirling so thick in the air.

They are only knats.....tiny, annoying tests

Today, I think I passed

and gained the gift of connectedness to another human spirit.

We are the same

once we release judgment

Let this lesson stay with me

I was a beautiful experience. Soft and powerful all at once.

I am begining to be more graceful about the awe.

It takes some getting used to.

What a ride!

Clutter F*%k

I try not to swear,
but this was the only thing I had to say about this post.

After a very sweaty morning of cleaning/organizing the shed and laundry room, two things I have been putting off for months I did it, a lot.

I'm so exhusted I will not go into detail but leave you with this...

something that feels like a clutter f*%k can leave you spent
but the piles of clutter that you left by the road have magically turned into treasure for passer-by's and the glory that will be felt when the new, clear space it is discovered by a certain someone in my house that loves order, will make my ordeal worth every cuss word I said this morning.

I am so delerious from the experience I'm not sure if any of this makes sense...but so goes it.

Have a happy and clutter free day!

Butterfly

Oh Sweet butterfly...
open your wings.
You have been shaking with them closed for too long now.
They hold within them such magnificance
and glory.

You must now know that you are in fact, a butterfly.
do not be timid
show off the beauty within.
you have been cooped up in your cocoon for too long
with so much growing
it is time
it is your time.
the magic of flying will blow your mind
and inspire all who see you

It is your journey, do not be shy little butterfly
it is your gift
be gracious and open
all will move forward as it should.
the wind is warm
bask in the sunshine and drink up the nectar that is this life
fly on little butterfly
do not be afraid,
I am with you always
even if you can not see me
it will all be ok
I promise..

go on now, enjoy the beautiful ride.
and know that I love you
every second.

orange present

Happy Days of summer.

from here the fall will role in speedy

new school clothes and backpacks await.

how did we get here so fast?

a beautiful journey.

each moment wonderous

each phase to be savored

balanced by it's own challenges and gifts.

Knowing that the change is the constant

never too fast

always right where we need it to be.

I look forward to the road ahead, give thanks for our story and remember to be in each moment as that is all we have.

UP

When it's up, it's all up.
when the growth moves in one area,
it moves in all areas

this type of progression demands it.

no stone left unturned

no little things you've tucked away that you can continue to let get by without tending to.

it is a deep cleansing
and it is as difficult as it is rewarding.

the expansion
is on the rise

the base of my spine has been tapped

Here we gooooooooooooooooooooo

she said

with a pleasant smile on her face

the wind blowing her hair.

I'm up for the ride.

simple perfection

Sometimes
there is no mistaking it.
Something is so cleverly positioned you have no room to wonder.
These huge affirmations seem to come at the exact moment in which we need them.

The simple act of opening a book,
one that you have read before
to find exactly what you needed
before you knew you needed it

simple gifts

perfection

green evening

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

green

I'm in a state of happiness with no direction

can't figure out what to write

maybe it's because I can't focus

because the music is on

It's such a good mix I can't bear to turn it off.

simple bliss

quiet house

end of the day

great music on

and some time for myself.

good music is so important to one's state of mind

I should listen to it more

so, I guess I will

goodnight in green
