day 318

another autumn

the autumn winds, swift and fierce
raze the forest leaves from limb
like seasons past, played their part
trees pruned, as winter begins

summer’s leaf-dressed canopy
shade from sun and camouflage
now reveal a clearer view
a hidden treasure-like mirage

nests tucked in the highest nooks
forest floor, its paths obscured
leaf-covered in amber-gold
souls of trees laid bare and pure

soon winter with frosty breath,
snow will turn the foothills white
autumn gently tucks us in
to sleep through wintery nights

I love autumn! The colors, the smells, bonfires, hot apple cider. It passes so quickly leaving us with trees stripped bare. And I must admit, I love winter trees too. To me, they are symbols of letting go, reminding me shedding what no longer serves me does not mean I have to rush to get on with whatever is next. The trees this time of year show me how to stop, to reflect, and to hope in the spring. As we enter this dark season when the nights are long may we learn to rest. After a long year may we settle into warmth of home, of family and friends, and remember what is most important.

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you.

day 316

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

I don’t do cities
unless I’m forced to,
if I must do
things like appointments,
grocery shopping, you know
“lifing” like a zombie, day in
day out…I don’t do cities
unless I’m forced to,
i prefer a natural scene,
the rolling Blue Ridge Foothills
you’ll find me here most
nights and days,
working hours, and play
where traffic is a gaggle
of gobblers crossing the
driveway, where the sound
of wind rushing through
the trees sounds like ocean
waves crashing into the shore
where my top 40 hit list
is birdsong…
from hummingbird
chirps to pileated
woodpecker cackles,
crow caw-caws and
raven grunks
I traded bumper to bumper
morning commutes
with morning walks through
the mist at dawn
this is my favorite place
i don’t do cities anymore
unless I’m forced to
best decision I ever made
no looking back

I discovered this magic portal on my walk this morning. Isn’t it fabulous? I wonder who has taken shelter here. Chipmunks, squirrels, perhaps even some faerie folk! At any rate. This is a proper glimmer if there ever was one.

Much love, light, and glimmers to you!


day 315

a moment

glimmering
glimpse of the heavens
all is well

~kat

At this precise moment the message was clear, beautiful, grounding, inspiring. As I took my evening walk to finish up chores before the night set in, the horizon prompted me to pause…all is well. No promise of the future. No rehashing of the past. None of that mattered in that moment because in that moment wrapped in the glow of dusk I felt safe, protected, and seen by the universe. 

I snapped a photo to remember that even when life feels scary, challenging, and unpredictable there are always moments like these ready to embrace me. Moments that allow me to catch my breath…to pause…to breathe. 

Much love, peace, and glimmering moments that give you pause…

day 311-314

I have been swept up in the cacophony of life this week. It caught up to me in the middle of the night. And so I thought, this is a perfect time to write. To catch up the missed days when glimmers were hard to come by. With dawn soon emerging and my head a bit clearer I hope to find ground again. Until then…there’s this…

day 311

it’s the noise, overwhelming, never ending, louder, louder
incessant, that rouses me at three am, dreamless nightmares
where the edge looms ever close, the abyss whispering

day 312
it’s the dawn that rescues me, light shimmering in the distance
just beyond, promising hope enough to keep me in the game
survival, my motivation, insanity encroaching

day 313
how does sand not lose itself into the depths when the tide swells
or flowers, tenderly bloom, never fading, when the rains come,
even stars glimmer more brightly before fading into dust

day 314
when the end is clearly not clear and the path fades
when the noise becomes too much, and the tide swells, be like sand shards,
the flowers, and fading stars, hold on til dawn, where hope waits

~kat


A simple single glimmer will do for today…

Much love, light, and glimmers to you!
