day 321 – a ReVerse Poem

A ReVerse Poem ~ 23 November 2025

a deep, slow breath in
when the end is clearly not clear
before fading into dust
it’s the dawn that rescues me
where the edge looms ever close
a glimpse of the heavens
morning walks through
the mist at dawn
just a glimmer
souls of trees laid bare and pure
the sweetest of blossoms
into a world turned gray

Things have been quite bizarre lately stateside.  Sometimes I envy my friends and neighbors across the border or across the pond. But it seems no matter where a body lives, there are leaders who don’t care about the people they serve but rather, care only about staying in power and reaping the benefits. It’s not like this generation of humans is experiencing an anomaly. Selfish, cruel leaders have been with us since time began. 

I have found that the only way to survive the wrath of horrible leaders and the current disturbing state of the world is to focus on what is most important. Fortunately the season is right on time. There are opportunities to share time with family and friends this time of year more than any other. Perfect! Because that is what is most important. The relationships we cherish. The world will eventually right the downward spiral we are currently experiencing. For now and until the end of 2025, I choose to cherish those who mean the most to me…and that includes myself. 

Take care my friends. Much love, peace and glimmers to you.

day 316

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

I don’t do cities
unless I’m forced to,
if I must do
things like appointments,
grocery shopping, you know
“lifing” like a zombie, day in
day out…I don’t do cities
unless I’m forced to,
i prefer a natural scene,
the rolling Blue Ridge Foothills
you’ll find me here most
nights and days,
working hours, and play
where traffic is a gaggle
of gobblers crossing the
driveway, where the sound
of wind rushing through
the trees sounds like ocean
waves crashing into the shore
where my top 40 hit list
is birdsong…
from hummingbird
chirps to pileated
woodpecker cackles,
crow caw-caws and
raven grunks
I traded bumper to bumper
morning commutes
with morning walks through
the mist at dawn
this is my favorite place
i don’t do cities anymore
unless I’m forced to
best decision I ever made
no looking back

I discovered this magic portal on my walk this morning. Isn’t it fabulous? I wonder who has taken shelter here. Chipmunks, squirrels, perhaps even some faerie folk! At any rate. This is a proper glimmer if there ever was one.

Much love, light, and glimmers to you!


day 315

a moment

glimmering
glimpse of the heavens
all is well

~kat

At this precise moment the message was clear, beautiful, grounding, inspiring. As I took my evening walk to finish up chores before the night set in, the horizon prompted me to pause…all is well. No promise of the future. No rehashing of the past. None of that mattered in that moment because in that moment wrapped in the glow of dusk I felt safe, protected, and seen by the universe. 

I snapped a photo to remember that even when life feels scary, challenging, and unpredictable there are always moments like these ready to embrace me. Moments that allow me to catch my breath…to pause…to breathe. 

Much love, peace, and glimmering moments that give you pause…

day 310

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…

day 308

impatient
.
it’s
a cruel thing…
time…
especially when
there is too much of it with nothing
to do
but rest…and heal…and rest
i like staying busy
surviving
healing is a beast

I’m a terrible patient. But, I’m learning. It’s hard for me to wind down. To give my body the restorative rest that it needs after having had a spot of cancer removed from my head earlier this week. It was just a tiny blip, but left to its own devices would not have played nice. So, it had to go. Just a wee scoop, a centimeter or so deep and the width of a dime, and I was rendered cancer free. It may be my age, but this procedure kicked my butt in the aftermath. Once the numbing agent wore off, my scalp grew very angry (if you know what I mean…OUCH!) It’s taken a few days to feel human again. I’m sure I’ll be relieved when Monday comes and I slip back into my usual routine. But I am finding, with each sideline to my full-steam ahead life, I grow a little wiser to what is most important. And I emerge even more grateful for the simple blessings in my life.

I hope the world is treating you well…but if not, and if circumstances dictate and allow, don’t resist taking a break from it all. As you surrender your must do, gotta-get-done mindset, you might just be surprised at what’s waiting there on the sidelines. It’s good. I promise. And, you deserve it.

Much love, peace, and healing glimmers to you.

With a wintry mix forecasted a few days from now, I set up my peanut station in the back yard hoping to lure the crows back (I’m afraid they still think I murdered their friend and as you know crows are practiced grudge-holders!),but have been delighted that a few of the young squirrels we released are now enjoying the peanuts I provide. Here’s your glimmer for today…our squirrel friends saying hi as they partake of the nut-fet!
