I Can Hear Her Breathing

 Thanks to Suzanne Anderson 

for posting this on the Mysterial Murmuration website.

It's such a powerful thought,

and fills me with hope and confidence.

I am listening for her breathing.

Every Moment A Gift

 Being the recent recipient of

unasked for and strangely wrapped gifts;

this thought seems timely.

It's a good reminder to cherish

the small, slow measures of my life

as well as the swift, chaotic stanzas.

All is gift.

Hungry For Your Beauty

 Your deepest gifts are often

seemingly invisible,

especially to you.

Trust yourself

to bring them forth

in whatever you 

happen to be doing.

Joy in Relation...World In Abundance

 Two things caught my attention on this thought:

"nowhere grasping"

and

"earth enough".

It awakened me to times when I grasp

at things I think I want instead of things as they are.

A human tendency, I believe

but it is worth thinking about.

Earth enough?

That is a loaded statement

and one I can only

contemplate in 

small, hopeful

measures.  

May it be so.

If I'm Known

 Daniel Siegel didn't actually say this.

One of his patients whose first name was Tommy did.

That being said, it was like an arrow

straight to my heart when I heard it.

I can handle becoming a part of everything.

What a spectacular place to be.

PS:  Mindsight is an excellent read.  Highly recommended.

Weaving Gratefully

This is a long-lived and long-loved quote of mine.

I am glad to have it resurface as a reminder.

It is especially meaningful 

as I spend my days knitting pieces of "unmatched threads".

William Shatner's quote from the documentary about his 

trip into space fits nicely into this theme.

“Everything is connected. It’s like a knitting.  A shawl of life.” 

May we drive the loudmouths from the hall

and let the mighty river of the "Silent Majority"

(I'm referring to them as the Mindful Majority)

"clear it for a different celebration."

Whole Against the Sky

 I love this thought 

as it opens up wide vistas of potential 

at a time when it's more common

to see each other as fixed

in set patterns, sizes and modes of being.

Reducing each other to only 

what is familiar and habitual

keeps both of us small.

It gives growing 

a whole new perspective

as the years taper down.
