We kick our way along dirt roads
concrete jungles
mazes of buildings radiating the summer sun,
gazing at grasses that change
with the coming of the shorter days
colors slowly fading
into their winter coats for slumber.
We take each step
eyes on the farthest horizon
yet never forgetting to stop now and then
hesitate on the side of the path
to see the tender flowers that bloom
whether we notice them or not.
We chose these paths that take us
near and far
and places in between
waiting to explore
this and always so much more,
with a peace in our heart we heal
we hope for the skies to clear
the stars to align
but are content in just letting it all be
for it will do what it always does
whether we notice or not.
Calm is in the soul
where it could be rocky and slippery
I walk today as I did yesterday
with a heart filled with love
and an eye for a beautiful today and tomorrow,
a few last steps before I’m done
then to sit and relax in the setting sun
just being
free.
Shortly off to my last day at work. Had a blip in my plans for the coming week but after doing some breathing soul work and healing, let it go and felt the calm ensue throughout my soul…slept good and deep and woke feeling refreshed and ready to chart a new course with each step I take. Always in a mode of a loving heart, I let go the dark and embrace the light of each day I am given. Truly blessed and am always amazed at the way I change when I allow it all to flow….to let it go and just be. I cannot change others, I can only allow change to happen within. Feeling loved, blessed and tonight at 5, free at last ๐
Gonna miss my visit with a beautiful friend this week but someday, it will be โค
Just take care. I haven’t been on WP all day except for these two comments to you. My heart hasn’t been into reading posts or anything. With all that’s gone on in this world the Las Vegas thing has really gotten to me….so senseless, can’t process….
Sorry about the arthritis in your hands – can certainly relate! You’re too young to be dealing with that. Take care, my friend. Hugs to you. ๐๏ธโฎ๏ธโค๏ธ

My favorite activity! Can’t do yard work or gardening much anymore because of a bad back but can enjoy it vicariously. Enjoy! ๐๐ฅ๐

I spent the last two hours gardening? ha, pulling excess jungle growth out of the front area of the house….you can see the house again. Nice form of work, breeze blowing and just lost in thought grooming nature โค
