day 295

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

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

It’s been a while since I took a snapshot of my little African Violet. She’s doing well in the window facing morning sun. And she is the perfect example for my little poem in response to today’s prompt. She doesn’t need to brag about blooming. She just blooms.

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

day 234 ~ a ReVerse Poem – 24 August 2025

a ReVerse Poem - 24 August 2025

it’s a reflexive response
leaves break free
(it) requires one to draw from the deep well
petals of purple
made up or real, it matters not
it’s just the breeze, fall will begin

~kat

It’s certainly been an interesting week. There was a lot going on in the world and in my little corner of it. But I didn’t realize how my focus this week, in spite of everything, has been consistently on the changes coming…a milestone birthday, retirement, simplifying things in my life as I learn to let go and embrace the autumn season of my life. 

Where did the time go? I have certainly had an amazing, full life thus far and if the fates allow me a few more years, I’m think that the best is yet to come. 

Whatever season you find yourself in, take time to reflect on the blessings. They pass by in a blink! 

Much Love, peace, and glimmers to you!

day 219

first bloom

violet
blooms
teach one patience

Today was one of those long days. We attended a midday funeral to celebrate the life of a young man, our friend’s brother. I am not surprised that the universe provided several glimmers to see me through. Starting, of course, with my first African Violet bloom. It was waiting for me when we returned home.

Long and challenging days needn’t always result in roadblocks to peace. Although I have found that detours and roadblocks don’t always come with a map or instructions I do learn from them and if I am open to it, there are always glimmers to light my way. A few of those are illustrated below. Yes it was a long days, but it was also a full day, like the moon tonight, illuminating the darkness.

much love, peace, and glimmers to you!
