day 273…lights out

it’s over
.
no
one is to blame
but
that’s up for debate
as if debating was still a thing
it’s not
there’ll be no compromise
just waiting
for someone to blink

Well…the final blow has been dealt. The USA is closed for business. I suspect it was the plan all along. Shut it down. Finish the carnage started on day one. Send in the troops. Silence the opposition. Blame everyone not in charge. It’s stunning to witness. Like an out of body experience.

Our hickory tree got a much needed trim of lower, intrusive hanging limbs. At first it looked so strange. I wasn’t sure I’d ever warm to its new look…it’s tall, lean, trunk exposed beneath a lush canopy of green. And then dusk came, and I realized for the first time in years I had a clear view of the horizon. No longer blocked by wild low hanging branches. It will take some getting used to…this big change. But having a front row seat to autumn’s stunning sunsets will help me warm to the change. How I love sunsets in autumn!

I don’t know what will become of this broken country of ours…but maybe, if those of good will can manage to trim the low, intrusive branches, we might all eventually see the light, and the horizon where hope for the future and many tomorrows glows bright. What a glimmer! Hope for us all! May we all gain a clearer view in the coming dark days!

Much love, peace, and unobstructed glimmers of hope to you.

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 269 & day 270

just a glimpse 

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

~kat

——————-

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

~kat

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

day 265

after-rain

spent storm clouds disburse
skies blush amber-red at dusk
mist floats through the hills

For your glimmer today…a bit of humor using the photo I took of the western lawn this evening. IYKYK…☺️

Much love, peace, and comic relief glimmers after a crazy day. ~kat ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨

another rapture, another disappointing dose of reality. They’re all still here!

day 261

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…

Here are a few of those serendipitous moments from today…
