“The moment a child is born,
the mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new.”
~ Rajneesh

us is a uniqueness that must be brought out into the open, appreciated as a gift, nurtured into fullness, and then put to use in service to others.

And so there was
a quieting,
a sacred holding,
the journey within —
where all was dissolved
into the purest love.
Sadness lingered there.
Tender memories
found their place
and helped to form
words to point the way
to subtle mysteries
and treasures
only the most tender hearts
could hold.
We ride the current of this moment,
fierce and free
into the wild unknown
seeing the horizon that waits for us,
skimming the surface
yet knowing there lies so much more
in the depths of a daydream,
we drift on
with an open heart.
Midnight skies dappled
with the grace of a million stars,
twinkling on the deepest cloth
of a heaven that sits waiting
for a tomorrow yet to come.
Hitch hike across the blue-
wide open spaces that know no name,
for we have come in the twillight
with open arms to embrace
the beauty of this timeless place.
“Don’t you know Yet? It is your light that lights the World.”
― Rumi
Color me in sunshine,
radiant and alive,
grow me into kindness,
keep my faith revived!
Let the earth’s fragrance,
swallow all my pain,
allowing endurance,
so I may thrive again!
I’ll abide in your presence,
while you live in mine.
I’ll eat at your banquet table,
with loveliness I will dine.
When darkness descends,
on my sanctuary of tears,
turn it to compassion,
so praise is what I hear!
Extravagant grace is flowing
into my form,
surrounding me in glory,
and holding back the storm!
Greeting the freshness of now,
morning slips off her darkest robes
and settles into the perfection
of a soft gown of pastel colour,
stretching to touch the baby blue hues
eyes eager to find the sign
of a blessed day to come.
Air hangs heavy like thoughts,
thunder and lightning now far from here,
sight and sound breathes calm
and I fall into peace staring off to the heavens
listening to the rhythm
of the beating of a heart
alive in the moment
finding a simple bliss.
Wild weather yesterday with lightning and thunder that rattled the house, love a good storm this time of year, water to nourish and cleanse and a morning sky filled with watercolor hues always allows my day to begin in a blissful calm I relish. Happy Momday my friends, keep calm and motor on.
What a remarkable story and application to our daily lives and struggles. Enjoy!

“When we believe we are losing control, we grab on tight.
When our greatest fear comes upon us, we clench our fist
and teeth, close our eyes and hold on. We must learn how to let go.
When the time comes for growth and change, we must have the courage
and faith to let go. Whatever leaves my life makes room for something better.”
