Month: December 2023

the wind is blowing

owls are singing

and the shortest day

of the year

is near

entering vulnerability

can be so daunting

that we prefer to destroy

everything

in order to

avoid it

even while

vulnerable

is

where life

is

mist covering the world

in order to grant

the gates of the mystery

to open

receiving peace

after years of insecurity

is a subtle blessing

compared to the fireworks of ecstasy

anxiety arouses

tender rose

poignant music

as truth

softly breaks its way

to the surface

a soft morning

of tenderness

embracing the mind

after a day of grey

illuminated by

the encounter of

an angel

carrying peace and reconciliation

where no compatibility seemed

possible

doing

what is to be done

and abandoning

what is to be abandoned

sound just as simple

as it is not

though when

by grace

it happens

that we do

what is to be done

and abandon

what is to be abandoned

everything

expand

nothing is more banal

than the presence of darkness

yet nothing is more complicated

than learning to love

the dark part of

ourselves

shift of moon

shift of life

shift of focus

shift of light

no longer holding on to

the past

might be a time where

it is possible to stay

faithful in service

and victorious in suffering

the embodiment of wisdom

is

in itself

a conception

and as by every conception

it takes

all the necessary precautions

and

the presence of grace
