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

——————-

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

day 268 ~ a glimmer and a haiku

autumn sunset

it never gets old
crimson horizons at dusk
peace in the foothills

day 266

random thoughts at on a rainy day

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!

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 263 ~ a ReVerse poem

A ReVerse poem

finally time to heal
crickets at dusk
your silence is golden
bent on destruction…
Into stardust, beautiful in death
gentle, though it may be

~kat


This week’s ReVerse is definitely an odd little collection of thoughts. It has been an odd time. I visited the D-Day Memorial in Bedford,VA with my sister today. It’s not far from where I live. In light of the state of our world it was a stark reminder of how far we have drifted from the ideals of unity against oppression. Everywhere we turned there were tributes to troops from other nations who fought side by side against fascism.

We are, I believe, watching history repeat. But I am afraid the US will not be on the right side of history when the story is told. What a sad day it is when patriots are considered those who fall in line behind our “dear leader”, and not the true patriots honored at this memorial site. I wonder what these heroes, who made the ultimate, selfless sacrifice might think about the self-serving ambitions of the leaders in charge today. I wonder if they would even recognize this current society as the country they loved. 

Peace, love, and glimmers to you.
