in this moment {i am}


 

 

in this moment, i am
trying to find my way
handing over the fears to the candle burning on my altar
hoping you understand
wishing for a tiny shift
believing in the story that whispers inside me
letting go of your words
holding onto the sound of laughter
dusting off the truth
choosing faith
knowing some things might always have to just be what they are
standing tall in the light and the darkness
seeking the nurturing my heart needs
catching the stories that swirl in the air
building myself a boat to navigate all of it

and right now I am standing on the east coast holding your hand and sending you love and light.

In this moment, I am gazing into the blue glow of the lights and thinking of you. May the candle transform the fears into hope. (Come to think of it, that is a practice I should institute myself. I tend to ask that things go into the earth to be transformed. But I think having something tangible to focus on would be helpful.)

How funny - I just wrote a poem called "Little Boats". It's sitting right in front of me ready to print out and include with Christmas cards. It's about how we can't always navigate our little boats alone in the rough seas of the ocean of life and how sometimes we need to let someone else come on board our little boat with us and help us get back on course. Interesting...
Loving my new necklace!! I'm not typically a jewelry wearer, but it works for me!
