Sitting quietly in my chair by the window,
outside the sky turns itself
from a dull, blustery, overcast
grey
to a beautiful blue
white billowy clouds sailing
and sunshine beaming through
I had a phone appointment scheduled this morning
and so
I sat, baited of breath
ready, and silently rehearsing
until said time
where prep time is about two-hours
or more to truth, two days
and actual appointment time…
two
minutes
followed soon after, by the very real need
to remind all internal workings
to
stand down
less tense, more
serene
early spring has been rather up and down
temperature wise
where life is beginning to ‘spring back’
but much colder wintery type blasts
are not entirely ready
to leave off
no real signs of toads basking in the warmth of
the sun, just yet
which I suppose isn’t all bad, as
reconstruction on the big pond has begun
currently, mostly consisting of a big
muck out
before rebuilding
it is quite a good time of year actually
where most of the ‘garden work’ consists of
watching and
waiting
for things to appear
and for temperatures to amp up enough
for new plantings
so not so much real working
instead (as always)
more
wandering
at work,
one of my dearest and trusted friends
is away, and I am
stressed
however, I am also most fortunate
in that I am surrounded
by very kind souls
who bear with me
at break, a simple bite into my apple
and at the core, a perfect heart
revealed
and I stare at it for a few minutes
understanding
the constant barrage of the state of the world
dirty politics and things you need to know
fails to improve much
yet does aid in reminding myself to
shut-off and shut
out
unnecessary blather
focus instead, in my own way
on cherished friendships
on the things that bring me pleasure
on good books, on
interesting things, art and
old movies
on birds and nature
on kindness and
love
and things that make the world
gentle
and worthy of keeping oneself
soft
on the inside
in tending to my own fragile places
and continuously sending out
prayers
for yours
in always keeping one’s eyes
and heart
open
to beautiful things
in beautiful
light
and in trusting the universe
is always there
to listen ♥
May you be well my friends,
May you be safe and
at ease
May you find comfort in knowing
your way
to love -^-
