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.

What does it mean to be a kid at heart?
that kid
you know her you know
she’s the one who reminds you
you’ve made it this far

she’s just a glimmer some days…
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!

vindictive
.
fuck
around and find
out
there is no limit
to vengeance meted by immature
people
who feel entitled to
retribution for
perceived wrongs
raising hell on earth

Just when you feel totally over and done with the daily, sometimes hourly assault by powerful, cruel, deplorable people, more shit hits the fan. It’s by design you know. They want us to feel overwhelmed, to give up, to comply.
Never before in the course of this year, have I needed glimmers more….
We had a basket of more peaches that we would ever eat. My partner volunteers at a wildlife rescue center and I suggested she take them all to the shelter as a treat for the animals who reside there.
You guessed it! Today’s glimmer features an opposum named The Boss! This young fellow will never be released back into the wild. He is blind, you see, but that doesn’t mean that his little life has no value. He’s being trained to become an ambassador who, when he is older, will help teach children and event attendees about opossums…up close and personal. Today the Boss discovered that he loves peaches. And so, without further delay, I present to you the Boss, Ambassador Marsupial extraordinaire enjoying fresh peaches for the first time in his short little life…I hope his smile makes you smile!
Much love, peace and glimmers to you!
