Seems to me,
that the light of October is
a special kind
of light
makes everything rather
golden
holds its own kind of magic
noticing…
last week I had two fingers fitted for splints
in hopes of keeping them
mobile
and this week, after trying to work in new ways
on my days off
I offer them
rest
kindness…
which I can tell you, when it’s your hands
is not that easy to do
this week as well, I finally get a surgery date
for my sinuses
but this won’t come until January
pretty much a year from trying for answers
but hopeful, relief is now
around
the corner
caring…
last week as well we had dear friends in for dinner
tends to stress me out a little
but what a lovely time
connection…
always a few balmy days in the garden, although wet
for the most part
serve as a gentle kind of fade out
on this year’s growing season
almost always puts one in mind of things to
accomplish
for next year
hope…
as much joy as there is in the blooming and
discovering
there is also the imagining, the planning, the
dreaming
that make the ever changing garden
such a blessing
simple
appreciation…
the news in the world is not good
and the heart will continue to hold
all
that it can
yet it is still possible
to find
the pockets of golden wonder
and to hold loving kindness
in ones hands
and this bit of light
this bit of
unselfish caring for others
of looking beyond the politics
the egos and greed
of noticing people
just like us
struggling to survive
unscathed
adds just the possibility
of
nudging the world
into a
better place
to be
love…
one would hope ♥
