I imagine you there just beyond the mist at dawn your voice singing softly… or is it the birds, the breeze sifting through the tree leaves a lovely chorus of life living that reminds me of you the fog, a taste of heaven dusting the ground in these hills like a veil, allows me a glimpse of heaven…if heaven were a place

in all ways
strange how hearing your voice melts the time and distance. it matters not how long it has been or how far…me here and you there one word transports us to that place where time disappears

It’s been a very busy weekend. But I wanted to leave you with these tiny glimmers. Much love, peace, and glimmers to you
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

I am not your enemy I’m not evil, I not hateful my heart does bleed for righteousness and justice, for equality and compassion, for community…for peace, for the underprivileged, the marginalized, the sick, the immigrant, and refugees, like my ancestors who came here seeking a better life and freedom because I believe, as they did, in hope, in a constitution that says, all men (and women) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. I am a proud progressive patriot I believe this nation has the potential to be great… not through division and hate, but by being the beautiful, big tent, melting pot, that our founders’ envisioned; a colorful tapestry crafted from patches of silk, cotton, wool, satin, suede, and spandex I believe in the truth and telling it no…i am not your enemy… even if powerful people, intent on hoarding more and more for themselves, would like you to believe that I am once upon a time, I was your family, your neighbor, your co-worker, your friend… in my heart I still am

For today’s Glimmer, I invite you to “Find the Deer”. It’s a CB part of my morning walk, scanning our property and the bordering forest. Sometimes all is quiet but for a few squirrels chattering and the plop, plop sound of hickory nuts falling from the tree limbs over my head, hitting the ground around me (thank goodness I’ve thus far escaped being knocked on the noggin…knock on wood!) but this morning the young bucks were out. One has shed his velvet and a very strange raw look about his tiny antler points. At any rate join me on my walk and play along… do you see them? Their coloring has darkened with the season from fawn colored to a light brown. I’m fascinated by the natural changed in the environment and its wild residents as they settle into survival mode, winter and hunting season looming.
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!
