Hidden Potential
Scattered bricks
and broken stone
piled high
a scattered mess.
With hammer
and chisel
you will find
that the chaos
becomes beauty
and form.
This property has some of the most interesting and beautiful artisan created garden walls that I’ve ever seen. The pile indicates that there are plans for much more yet to come, and I can only imagine the beauty of what will one day be finished.
Tattered Petals
beaten
battered
badly bruised
yet there is no
broken
to be heard
instead
the bruises
have their own beauty
and growth continues
along with
life’s journey
Downward Glance
When up so high
above it all
peace appears
to reign below
and it’s easy
to forget
that people roam
upon the earth
like ants
upon a hill.
Quiet Time
A quiet day
a balcony
a cup of tea
and a book.
Sometimes it’s
the simple things
that make life
worth living.
Self care isn’t always about the things we do. Sometimes it’s about the things we decide to put off and do tomorrow. Sometimes it’s about doing nothing at all… just for a little while.
Watch Your Step
Pissy
Grumpy
An irksome mess
Not fit for company
Not fit for much less
Getting out of bed
might have been
a mistake.
Shouldn’t socialize
when in this state.
Preparation Time
Wildly busy
so much to do
the mind whirls around
and around
It’s no wonder bees
can’t fly straight
their minds
are dizzying and wild.
I’m doing my best not to let the gearing up of the upcoming holiday rush amp me up and drive me into a frenzy. It’s not easy, as that is my natural tendency when something tries to steal my focus, to focus down on it so hard nothing else exists anymore.
