Today, it’s just a perfect fall day,
wet and
soggy
the colours outside are still
brilliant
rain, almost always
is
needed
and it’s Sunday… so it suits
this morning, quiet start
coffee with my love
and conversation of things to come
new chapters unfolding
in real time
we talk this morning about
changes to make, here at home
to accommodate
better uses
of space
we talk about possibly shifting a
piano
that we have always had
in this spot
but has it become a kind of
place holder, where we
put
stuff
adjustments to make, if space
was created
we are, I suppose
in an
adjustment period
of our lives
so today, I’m thinking again about
all this
stuff…
stuff we shoulder, stuff we accumulate,
stuff we keep
physical things, mental things
as well as emotional things
things we have, things we want
things we
carry
in this world, in this life
in this
body
and the commonality of things
what I want to carry is love,
peace, contentment
simple things
joy
I know I can carry grief
empathy, disappointment
even at times
overwhelm
what I don’t want to carry are
things with weight
burdens, anger, shame, fear
outrage
expectations, judgements,
obli-
ga-

n
s
dust
possibly, with a somewhat
‘significant’ birthday for me, approaching
in a couple of weeks
as well as
this wet, shadowy sort of
October-y weather
has me thinking today,
about making meaningful
our days
our
spaces
this today… is my
wander
so, in light of this
might I send you, all good wishes
and many, many blessings
for the week
ahead
and might you think
to walk gently
and,
lightly
when
you
go ♥
