Day 6

cardinals in snow

eternity smiled
helping me remember
there is magic here

Another dazzling glimmer. Today, as our nation honored our democratic ideals and peacefully handed over the power of the presidency to a criminal, a felon, a despicable abuser of women, a liar, a grifter, an insurrectionist … several cardinals stopped by my feeders reminding me that my ancestors are always with me. Watching, guiding, inspiring me to reach higher, to carry on the legacy in my bones, to make them proud. Today’s glimmer is the most meaningful by far, redirecting my focus from those triggers of angst and dread to a moment of joy remembering who I am because of those who have gone before me. We’ve got this. Peace and glimmers to you!

how lovely she is
beautiful blossom in bloom
sweetness in winter

It may seem like an impossible quest…to find a “glimmer” every day. I assure you it is not, if you’re looking, and paying attention. And that is the whole point of finding glimmers amidst the triggers that bombard us with stressful and worrisome challenges every day. Glimmers give us those brief moments of joy and awe, and dare I say, hope. It’s a lifeline, especially in today’s troubled world. Peace and glimmers to you!

what is unseen

what is unseen

it’s unsettling
her sudden, bleak nakedness
but…her roots run deep

autumn haiku


autumn haiku


softly, fall the leaves
surrendering to the whirlwind 
that whispers, ‘come home’
