You Are Light!

/ Beth Weaver-Kreider / Leave a comment

Gratitude List:
1.  That reminder: You are the light of the world, the salt of the earth.  Be shiny.  Be savory.
2.  The way the snow defines the shape of the mountains so you can see their contours through their fur of trees.
3.  Making it safely home in that incredibly slippery snow.
4.  Synchronicities / miracles / synergy / magic / coincidence / Universal Intention / Divine Attention: So many words for marveling at the way things come together sometimes.
5.  Heat and light and water.

May we walk in Beauty!

Wisdom from the Stone Mother

/ Beth Weaver-Kreider / 3 Comments

It’s just the first third of the sestina.  I pooped out and watched Chinatown with Jon this evening instead of finishing the poem.

It’s all one big pool.
One fountain, one single source.
Only take what’s yours for today.
Connect yourself to Earth and Sky and spread your wings.
Listen through the words, for the word that gets overlooked;
that one word could hold the whole story.

You are the Teller of your own story.
Don’t be afraid to dive into the pool,
but remember not to leap before you’ve looked
and swim against the current, to your source
where you will rise from the waters, find your wings
and fly into the dawning of the day.

Prompt for Saturday
. . .is to finish the sestina, of course.  I’m making my own rules this month, and so I’ll give myself two days for the sestina.  Seems reasonable to me!

Gratitude List:

1.  Quetzal and Panther
2.  Finding the wings
3.  Smoked Sea Salt
4.  Motherhood–learning to hold on, learning to let go
5.  Water

May we walk in beauty.
