The Gifts of a Day Named Christmas
I am not alone The world is encased in white I wonder where the snow ends and I begin? Winter * Fir trees, how they hold the white weight on their shaggy boughs Not a breath of wind this day The day after the storm On the straight great and small trunks of the tall,…
A loaf of bread
This evening I needed motivation for a run, to get some exercise and enjoyment in the crisp wintry air. A run roundabout the neighbourhood with the end result being a bakery with an endless cookie and biscotti selection. Just one or two I thought. Wow! The Christmas lights are amazing! I dashed in the bakery…
Stone Still
If you look deeply into the photograph, civilization is within the rock. We human beings are part of nature, part of rock/stone, contained within it, not separate from it! See! Photo taken at Toronto Lakeshore. Look and see the CN Tower within the stone, feel the stone within us, solid and still. Stone is part…
A little pick-me-up
Sometimes guilt and shame can be so blanketed and hidden that we aren't even aware it is there. During my healing process, (which began in 2016 in earnest), I was drawn to solitude.

How much time do we spend…thoughtless?
In essence, we bribe ourselves and others to make us feel better, all the while the truth is we belittle ourselves and those around us by our behaviour, lowering our own self-esteem and relinquishing our power. We don’t live our truth, we live our guilt and shame historically and repeat and repeat these things over and over again to ourselves and others in lieu of the truth. When we don't show up for ourself, speak our truth even though we know it may disappoint, the truth is, we take on the disappointment. When we begin to see others as ourselves we understand this truth.

Forest Rhapsody
Every leaf on the entire mountain is aflutter with God. Late this afternoon, I ventured out on a walk to meet God. A favourite trail beckoned me in the easy breeze of the late September afternoon. It had been rainy and cool the past few days, abating today, leaving a cozy dampness in the scented…
Sunday Song of Infinite Gratitude
I am grateful for joy, for God the Creator, the Good and Fruitful Mother Earth, for art, for transcendent bliss. I am grateful for the sun, the moon, stars and galaxies. For kindness and compassion, grace and fortitude. Lace and velvet, cotton and linen, dresses and feeling pretty. Solitude and peace, dance and faith. Purity…
