day 374

Sometimes a glimmer is a cold dark night, the crescent moon, and a few minutes away from everything to take it all in and to breathe.




Much love, peace, and glimmering moments to you ~kat ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨

…and a little poem too


plot twist

change changes
direction…dreams fade
don’t look back

day 373

Sometimes a glimmer can be a person…

today we remember

they cannot erase
the fact that he existed
history is not
a matter of opinion
we were changed by Martin’s dream

we’re not going back
silence is not an option
freedom is not free

Day 366 – a glimmer

Couldn’t let this day end without sharing a glimmer or two.

These guys came to wish me a good morning. And the afternoon sun was a beauty.

Much love, peace and glimmers to you. I might muster up a poem for you tomorrow. Breathe…be kind…and stay safe!

doe at dawn

my friends don’t say much
but oh, how faithful they are
as faithful as dawn

day 347

post solstice

and then, just like that
the light grows a bit brighter
putting dusk on pause

When I was much younger there was always a certain magic in the air during the holidays. I still feel it. My heart memories remind me what time of year it is. Yes! The sun is getting brighter day by day.

Another glimmer….Gabby ~ a close up view. She always makes me smile.

much love, peace, and glimmers to you! however you may celebrate during this time of year…may it be happy.

day 345

Today’s Glimmer…Remember my African Violet plant? It was actually three plants in one pot. Several months ago I transplanted them…they have a lovely afternoon sun window seat…and I would say the separation of these conjoined triplets was a success. (Knock on wood 😊) Stay tuned for the first blooms!

My family is spread out in all directions. It takes several hours to get to each other for a visit. If you can catch them home that is. We are so busy these days. Our “Christmas” holiday happened weeks ago ( requiring overnight accommodations due to the distance ). It was lovely but not everyone could make it. So this week as we enter into the actual holiday rush, it feels a bit weird.

I find myself celebrating contemplative holidays these days. Quiet, peaceful, restful. It’s not the big gatherings I’d imagined I’d be spending. I’ve long since reconciled reality with expectation. And I’ve learned to savor every opportunity I do get to be with my children, their children, and their children’s children. Generations come and go so quickly don’t they? We only get a short time on this planet. May we live each moment in moments rich with the gift of presence.

We had a busy few days and I missed sharing a few glimmers with you. Rather than catch up, I’m leaving you with a photo of my trio of African Violet plants. And a few little streams of haiku-style consciousness.

much love, peace, and glimmers to you.

1-
Solstice

days feel lighter
earth on its axis tilting
night wanes bit by bit

2-
generational shifts

fate doles its sentence
generations slip away
names written in dust

3-
leafless

the sun glares harshly
through leafless trees in winter
blotting out the sky

4-
don’t look back

some days I look back
trying to find memories
it makes now jealous

5-
civil unrest

one day you will see
everything will be okay
today’s not that day


today’s poems in reVerse

today’s not that day
trying to find memories
blotting out the sky
names written in dust
night wanes bit by bit
