Delight
Delight sits there, waiting for the prison cells of our minds to open wide the doors, the prison that keeps us endlessly ruminating with the preoccupation of fault finding with ourselves. As I age, there is so much more room for Delight. I get her out from behind those bars. She breathes in a great lungful of fresh air, stretches and looks around. “Goodness, I’ve been in there for some long years.”
Bring On Spring!
When I am present with the world, no matter whether it is behaving the way I want it too, there is always, always, always beauty.

We are such fragile beings
Surrounded by mountains of facts
Inclusion & A Poem on Trees

There is the beautiful realization that a peaceful life demands a slowing down, a refining of priorities.
A Good Dose of Reality
Learning to get along with others is a fine art. It can improve with age if we practice, practice, practice. My greatest tool is to remind myself that the way I see the world is not the way others see it.
Identity
If I look over my shoulder at the years, I see so many different lives, identities I picked up along the way to fit into a niche, to find a home, to belong
Nature and Second Chances
In a world where fear mongering appears to be one of the greatest marketing techniques, whether financial stability, religious judgments or social acceptance, it is a wonderful thing to remember gratitude in the moment.
Too Busy?
I am happy each time I am reminded that it is the joyful moments, the ones I fall into like a sweet rhythm, where I lose track of time and know I'm in my soft space, that are the ways I want to fill my days
.
Wide Open Hearts
These days I find myself open to a whole range of emotions. I see others struggling with the paradox of gratitude and grief.
The Gifts We Share
I am aware of the differences I make when I take the time to share my gifts with the world.
