    Honey

    Her familiar face –

    Moving closer, became new.

    Hello, and well met.


    I recognized Honey from a distance, but up close – through a picture – I felt like I’d met someone completely new in the wildwood. She was not sown by any human plan, yet she rose up and found her own way.

    A Merry Lass

    Eyes upon the sky,

    I almost missed her surprise.

    Beckoning, she stood.

    If they were to raise their voices… what song would they play?

    Can you hear them? I think it would be beyond anything words could ever say.

    Indescribable.

    Ripples … Finding Sanctuary in the Moment

    Georgia Swamplands

    This place doesn’t mind being forgot.

    It cares not.

    Time moves forward here without being pushed. It’s the natural way to move so subtle and slow.

    Letting it flow.

    No greeding or hoarding of supplies to survive. Without thought…

    It lives to thrive.

    No wonder we step away to remember again, there’s more to us than the rush and the fuss.

    A space to contemplate, instead of cuss.

    Leave it all in this moment we find. Then rejoin your life,

    With a clearer mind.

  • A Meditation

    A Meditation

    Staying in More

    During this time, we are out less. We could think “isolated” or we could think, “Protect and Prevent.” I guess it’s all in how we see it.

    We could see it as more time spent with home or family. It’s good food cooked at home, time for board and card games, or catching up on some family movies.

    We could notice. How often do we really stop and listen and see.

    We’re noticing the tension in our world and especially, we see those of us who are out in the thick of it, day in and day out. There are gloves and masks and hand sanitizer along with, “keep your distance.” They screen me entering the hospitals and rest homes. And, I’m glad for the precautions taken. It’s a different world though isn’t it?

    What do we do, finding that we have extra time on our hands, while also finding that today is a very different day than even a few days ago… I wish that the reasons the world has slowed down were different ones. And, I wish that the world slowed down more often for better ones. Why does it take critical times for us to slow our pace?

    With that in mind, here is a meditation to sooth the body, mind, and spirit. As we send our healing light out into the world, may our souls also find peace and rest.


    Stay in when you can. Find some zen. Prevent and protect! 🌟

    Face Masks

    During this time, I have seen many people wearing masks. While this can be helpful – also remember that the best protection is for anyone who is currently unwell to wear them. And if you are wearing them while well to prevent germs, remember that germs may adhere to the outer surface of your mask 😷. If you take your mask off or touch it, you’ll need to wash / sanitize your hands!


    Prevent and Protect! 🌟
