day 271

shhhhhhhh

“be safe”
said with good bye
was hypothetical 
until now, when it’s dangerous
to speak
out loud…
even whispers
won’t save you…hold your tongue 
lest they find you living outside
your head

There’s a chill in the air…not the seasonal type, but there’s that too. No, this chill is spreading quickly. They want us to be afraid. They want us to fall in lock-step with their plan. We are best seen and not heard. Truth be told they don’t want to see us either. Unless we have 6 or 7 or more zeros in our bank account, we don’t count. it’s a scary time in the US of A.

It would be so easy to curl up into a ball and just wish it all away. To pretend it’s all a nightmare. That things aren’t that bad. But I am not a liar…and I can’t lie to myself or anyone else. It’s crazy and out of control. Our president is…shhhhh don’t say it Kat. They’re watching. They’re always watching. Crazy.

All I know is that I have this moment. And right here, right now, I am okay. As far as I know those I love and care for are okay. It’s only a moment, but it’s my moment. As I breathe in and slowly exhale I settle into this moment and the next and the next. One step in front of the other. I’ll keep showing up. May we all keep showing up. We are here and we matter.

much love, peace, and moments of hope-filled glimmers to you!

My glimmer today…a beautiful sky…funny how such a sight can calm you and give you hope. I still have hope. 💚

day 267

Today’s Glimmer…my co-worker Gabby…actually more like a micromanager…but it is lovely to be loved by a creature unconditionally.

I decided to give you today’s glimmer first. I wrote the poem below in the wee hours of the morning…the dreaded 3 am wake up call…so I’m saving it as an afterthought today.

I am so grateful to have a job. But I’m growing tired of the long Monday through Friday grind. It’s clear, though I had dreamed of it, there will be no retirement for me. Rising costs and increasingly limited resources necessitate working as long as they’ll have me. The song is true…the rich get richer and the poor…well you know.

Of course I do acknowledge that I am rich in so many ways, as evidenced by the unlimited glimmers surrounding me, just waiting to be noticed. But reality costs money and work is the necessary evil that provides. I also realize how fortunate I am to be able to work…to keep pace with a time clock. Like the old saying, “I can rest when I’m dead” implies…the road is long…and I’ve got myself a bit longer to go…

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

in limbo

stuck,
silenced by fear.
death
would have been kinder
memories of banishment keep me
in line
conditional freedom knows
no bounds, surrender,
recompense 
for speaking the truth

day 264 ~ autumnal equinox 2025

By Kat Myrman
✨✨✨Autumnal Equinox…Sounds of the season.✨✨✨
Autumn calling

all things being equal 
day to night, light to darkness
temperatures cooling
time to consider
letting go as leaves fade
and trees surrender to the wind
change is coming, change is here
darkness is looming
night will consume the day
for a season it will seem 
as though the light
will never be as bright, 
but remember, seasons come 
and they go…it’s just
a matter of time before
the fragile balance shifts 
once again, and spring 
emerges from winter, 
let us stand in the balance
all things being equal, 
together, our hearts warmed
by hope, compassion and truth 
we are not alone 
let the harvest commence 
with blessings enough
to keep us through
the coming winter…
blessings enough
to grace us all

~kat

Today’s glimmer is the sounds of dusk on this beautiful, magical Autumnal Equinox.

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

day 261

By Kat Myrman

What’s your favorite word?

Serendipity

A simply perfect sunset.
Shooting Stars…
Each
Radiant stream
Ebbs
Disintegrating
Into stardust, beautiful in death
Passing 
Into oblivion
Temporarily 
Dazzling
Yielding

~kat

You need to be in the right place at the precise right time to catch a glimpse of the final moments of distant ancient stars. Seeing a shooting star is serendipitous…my favorite word in response to this WordPress prompt. I love the sound of the word almost as much as I love its meaning.

Serendipity is the phenomenon of making fortunate and unexpected discoveries by chance, rather than by planning or searching for them.It’s the experience of finding something pleasant or valuable when you weren’t even looking for it, like a happy accident or a lucky coincidence. (AI definition)

Much love, peace, and serendipitous glimmers to you…

~kat ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨

Here are a few of those serendipitous moments from today…
