Cultivating Strength, Joy, Calm & Resilience

Just Blooming

Sensitive,

not fragile,

discerning,

not judgmental,

discriminately absorbing,

not assimilating.

Cyclically blooming to retain resilience.

Protection

without

hardening.

Exotic?

Mysterious?

Nope.

Just being

fully

oneself.

The I in All

Nourished by the sun.

Refreshed by the rain.

Cradled by the moon.

Lifted by the stars.

Watched over by the animals.

Fed by the earth.

Made resilient in being human.

Unlike any,

and still connect to all.

Living Whole

Today is complete.

From sunrise to sunset.

The space is full,

Just as is.

Not needing 

anything else.

Nothing more.

No pressure.

No expectations.

Full permission 

to simply be.

In the wholeness,

The enoughness,

The grace,

Of every sunrise

Every sunset

And every moment 

in between

The task at hand

Is simply to be.

Revolution

Newness and unfamiliarity

fuel curiosity.

Forward momentum guides creativity. 

Acceptance reveals the path to joy.

Growth is the gift of change.

The Space Between

Where the wind blows,

light dances

and shadows meander.

The trees sway and grass grows.

Raindrops fall.

The heart beats.

The body feels.

The mind rambles.

Quiet calls.

Stillness and movement reconcile.

This is where grace lives

and love persists.

Windows opening

Blockages provide

the pause necessary

to consider

another way.

To look more slowly,

to be grateful for the path that led here,

and not need to make any further progress.

Opening to opportunities

with strength,

creativity

and courage.

Exercising ingenuity.

Obstacles are not a sign of worth.

They are an invitation to become.

Touchdown

Grounded in lightness.

Free to expand.

Confident in choice.

Clear in direction.

Comfort in stillness.

Peace in the quiet.

Steady in heart.

Content in this breath.

Step by step

Learning to step 

without overstepping,

or stepping back.

Learning to care

without caring

about results.

Learning to feel

with feeling

instead of thought.

Learning to differentiate

between true joy

and fleeting excitement.

Cultivating peace

over emptiness 

in the stillness.

Learning that love 

is a state of being.
