chill in the air quickens my pace scanning for spots of sun when my walk comes to pause, pockets welcome hands to nestle inside hood shields me from snap of the breeze 11.16.17

as my children grow their roots burrow while limbs spread out to new directions leaves sprout, flowers bud from all they are becoming i watch full of joy at their multicolored selves  savoring when they turn their blooms towards me. 11.15.17

i look for balance in the ever changing wind, seek solace in the clamor of life, rest easy that no moment is the same, sleep deeply with desires to come. 11.14.17

the wait creates tension pausing with an uncertain end, holding a pose until release, centering ones breath when urge to fidget reigns, mind wanders, spell is broken, so i try once more.  11.13.17

i’ve learned to relax in the in between when all is uncertain yet nothing is lost before joy can be welcomed but pain is long gone tethered in knowing my heart will remain 11.12.17 [Image Source]
