Look, there is sunshine in the trees.
(Respnding to the call to find beauty.)

The is no small joy
Small joy is a spark
That can grow, spread and light a flame

Give oxygen to small joys
They lighr your heart and build a fire
Brings a glow that warms your hands
and burns brightly, radiates around you

Give gratitude to small joys
to amplify their rays
Appreciate their being
and bring them into more life

Give thanks for small joys and the joy of being grateful.

It wasn’t until I reached the wattle,
Halfway in and
Stretched out my hand
That I felt it.

Call it presence,
Call it connected
Call it peaceful
Call it beautiful

Call it no words,
it was a shift in states.

As I breathed in it told me,
some things take time.

and I smiled.

Sometimes our breath is not the gateway
Sometimes it does not flow easily
Some times it hurts from inside and the rhythm is messy and halted.

But there is this.
A blossom on a branch
That has reached out into life.
Her delicate name, starts with Hope.

Then notice, how the all trees seem greener.

This wattle bursts brightly into bloom in winter. As if to say I am here!

See me brightest among the contrast.

Tonight I sit under the cloud covered almost full moon listening to this.

Poetry has a way of speaking to us, to me, which is more full than other writing, especially when spoken by the author like this. Although I don’t have the tounge to write these beautiful words myself, I seem to have the ears to receive them fully.

There are too many lines that stand out, to call out and maybe we each catch our own anyway. So here is to sharing with one another some jewels that could find a home with you.

Listen to this episode from Liezel Graham on Spotify. Join me at my kitchen table for a poem, 'You might want to read this as a blessing', and some thoughts on giving ourselves grace and compassion. You are welcome here. As always, all my work is a very personal, ongoing conversation with myself. No...

Practicing softening, even when it’s cold. Especially when it’s cold.

For me, to watch the day gently glide into night is to curve sharp edges from the day. So I can be kinder than I was just before.

Mindful drawing, with love.
