day 306

By Kat Myrman

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

~kat

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.

day 305

By Kat Myrman

What will your life be like in three years?

After five years, our inoperable fireplace restored. A glimmer to keep us warm on cold winter nights. 
it’s a date

three years from today 
meet me in the hills
I’ll brew us some tea
if we are here still
the future we dreamed
the battles hard won
we’ll tip our warm cups
in the light of the sun
no longer afraid
to be seen or to speak
freedom and justice
restored to the meek
if we have survived
I’ve no doubt we will
we’ll talk about weather
here in the foothills

day 300

By Kat Myrman 
the circus

the elephant is sitting 
in the middle of the room
having left its corner though
no one seemed to notice…
an elephant is no small thing
but we were distracted
by flying monkeys and rats,
so many rats, termites gnawing 
through the walls, ants and roaches 
reducing the foundation to dust
it was the elephant 
in the middle of the room…
an elephant is no small thing,
perched on a pedestal,
a blue ball balanced 
vicariously on his snout
that held our attention
as the walls came tumbling down

~kat

I need a glimmer. When this happens I head to the hills…(out my back door) and dear Mother Nature draws me in. She’s fading these days into gold, orange and crimson, as if to say, kat, what you really need is a good long nap. I’m not entirely convinced that is a good idea with winter’s blight closing in. But she shushes me with a lullaby as soft as new fallen snow, and whispers as I drift to sleep…spring is coming.

and just like that…in my dreams the circus disappeared, as circuses do, leaving only sawdust in its wake…

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you. ~kat ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨

day 296

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!

vespers

here in the mountains all is well, the sun is setting
it’s hard to tell, to imagine the peril we're  in
as I lay me down to sleep, I pray this alt-reality to keep

~kat

Some days, imagined glimmers are all that my heart can muster….we drift toward the light when our hearts are troubled.

Much love, peace and glimmers to you
