Tamara Willems

like Sunday morning…

This weekend, I am 630 pages in 
to a fantastic biography of the Brontës 
and have spent a good deal of my mornings  
completely 
absorbed 
thus 

this weekend, I gazed lovingly up 
at the gorgeous very full, and very bright 
snow moon 
basking in the glow that fell 
upon  
everything it 
touched 

this weekend, I marveled at the now noticeable
length of days lingering 
longer 
in daylight 
and thought encouragingly 
of  
warmer things 

this weekend, I indulged in some glorious 
french toast with cinnamon, spices 
and a luxuriously warm, sticky sweet 
syrup 
and savoured every delectable  
bite 

this weekend, I sent out some love 
I gratefully received 
some love 
and I offered kindness 
without 
pretense 

this weekend, I read these words 
from Jena Schwartz 
that spoke to me, and of me 
in ways that I 
appreciated 
 
and I’ll place them here 
with the girl from my garden 
who seem to  
fit 
this light 
and this place 
in my heart,
just 
perfectly 
so  
 
” not everyone wants to hustle and grind and grow exponentially. There is something — everything, really — to be said for organic growth based on relationships, time, integrity, trust, creativity, and meeting in ways that reflect and honor our individual and collective humanity.”

with gratitude. ♥
