What is something others do that sparks your admiration?

Truth Personified at Dawn ~ kat 2025
truth tellers

when telling the truth
is revolutionary
we should not whisper

~kat

It goes without saying…or maybe I need to say it out loud…truth is real, attainable, knowable, undeniable, verifiable by actual facts. Naysayers who say otherwise are lying. Which brings me to another, dare I say, truth, that should be obvious…but bears reminding…lies are not real. 

Okay then…much love, peace, and glimmers to you…today’s sunrise was a true thing of beauty.

Today’s Glimmer…Sago Palm Baby Fronds
mindfulness
.
a
single moment
is
like a safety net,
a deep, slow breath in
held, until my full lungs beg to burst
stopping
time, shutting out chaos,
calm sets in…
it’s okay…exhale

~kat

Just breathing…

much love, peace, and glimmers to you…

Do you need time?

Do you need time?

I need time
to heal
to feel full
and whole
to embrace
what is real
and true
and good
to stop
apologizing
for being different
a black sheep
for being me
because
I am enough
not too much
just right
and it’s taken
a lifetime to see
no one gets to choose
what I need
who I am
how I live
but me

I am recovering my friends, from surgery. The cancer that interrupted my busy life is now disposed of as bio waste. I don’t miss it of course even if it took a bit of flesh with it. I feel grateful for the ease with which a good doctor was able to remove it. But today I am tired. My body is telling me take time to rest. You’ve been overdoing life for long enough…rest. Sleep. You’ve earned. You deserve it. You have always deserved time for you…just you. And so I pass along this bit of wisdom to you. Take time to rest, to recharge, to heal whatever it is that needs healing in your life. You deserve it. Just because.

Much love, peace, and healing glimmers to you. Yes you.

Day 297~ Daily Prompt

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

Mar-A-Luna 

You ask me this, as if you assume
I had the slightest desire…the moon?
To leave this beautiful, life-sustaining
place that I have known…i love my home
i think I’ll pass…but glad you asked
the price I’d pay to send away
a certain orange man with tiny hands,
his team of loyal hacks…now that
is worth considering, the lunar scape
suits this lot, cold as ice, core of rot
barren land paved with debris
two-faced, a dark side no one sees…
what wouldn’t I pay…it makes me giddy
to think of it, oh my! Would be a pity
to let this opportunity pass…you asked,
What would I pay? Let’s just say
anything and all to my last penny!

It’s been a rough week for democracy y’all. Well, let’s just say DT struck the final blow when he demolished the East Wing of the people’s house. We are not a democracy. There are no longer three separate branches of government. Congress has abdicated its responsibility, the Supreme Court majority is in lockstep with crowning the executive branch a dictatorship. The rule of law is dead. And the fourth estate has been silenced, cowed underground. SMH

So when I saw today’s daily prompt on WordPress I had to smile. It broke through the angst I had been feeling and gave me liberty to imagine an alternative reality to the current nightmare. I may have spent more time than is healthy crafting my poem and artwork for this one…but you know…desperate times do call for desperate measures to make sense of the obsurd.

So I started with my response to the prompt question…and then, once I allowed myself to muse at the possibility of freedom and liberty from our current state, i couldn’t help myself…I came up with my blueprint for Mar-a-Luna. Hey…a girl can dream.

It may not count as a proper glimmer but I do hope it relieves some of the tension of this current time, and makes you smile. I’ll try to share a proper glimmer once I head out into this beautiful world. But for now…

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!
