day one
she is ferocious
devouring the night
dazzling day star
brilliant angel of morning
old man time is but a ghost
i wake to magic in the air
a new year to embrace

It is the first day of 2025. Normally I would lead with a “Happy New Year” greeting, but this year commences with a sense of dread for so many people. I read recently that one of the ways we can make it through this time of challenges and adversity is to look for and focus on the “glimmers”. One site stated it this way: Glimmers are small moments that make us feel a sense of calm, connection, peace, and safety.
The photo above is my first glimmer of 2025…it’s a big one. As I was resting in my room thinking about what I would write on day one of this new year, the morning sun breached my window frame…no longer just an outside view but it was as if it came through the top corner of the window…talk about a glimmer! But that’s not all. Of course I took a photo and if you look deeply at it…just above the ball of light there is a kind face staring down…the rays of light almost appearing like wings. You might think I am seeing things…or that I certainly have a vivid imagination and you might be right. But I am counting this sight as my first glimmer of the new year, and a sign that it’s going to be okay come what may. We are not alone.
May you be inundated with your own tiny glimmers as we navigate the coming year…together. Namasté 💚

This is lovely Kat, and I see a form in the coloured hues above the light too, like someone outstretching their arms to embrace all below.
Love this idea of Glimmers. Take care and all the best to you both.
