HONORING MYSELF

So last week's theme week was echos of the past. Which made me think of how I too often ponder the past without acceptance. Basically, it is hard for me to let go of past mistakes and things I can't change; inevitably beating myself up because of them. It is so easy to get down on yourself. Logically, I know it is silly and fruitless but I find I have wondered down the path before I realize where I was walking. As well as it is hard for me not qualify something good about me with yeah, but...This brought me to honoring myself, we are told to have gratitude for the higher power, people and circumstances in our lives, but how often are we told to light a candle to ourselves. I was just reading about how you should take a picture of yourself that you like that only has you in it and light a white candle and be thankful to yourself. Thus, this week I am challenging myself to come up with seven things I think make me kickass and I challenge you to do the same. My first being that I am doing this without shame!

NO MORE EASTER SERVICES HERE

The church bell tolled

The people gathered

The community stood

Until it fell

FALLING

Worn, leaning, better off torn down

But still standing

REMINDERS

Every beginning as an end 

And every end a beginning

NO MORE MEGA HOMES WITHOUT THE DOUGH

MAKE ROOM

 

In the midst of the past meeting the future

The guarantee of time bringing change

Of nothing lasting forever

Reminders stand 

If you listen and look very carefully

You can hear and see the echos of the plantation

As the past falls away to the future

I WISH

ECHOS OF THE PAST

 Facing your mistakes

And allowing acceptance 

Knowing that you cannot right all wrongs 

Though you try to live today better
Accepting yourself for what you are

But saying goodbye to ones you love

And forever will miss

Nostalgic dreams of what different paths may have lived

But will never be lives you lead 

Being okay with the direction that you walk

Weather ideal on the surface or below
Trying to not be lonely in lone days
Hearing echos of the past

Can be hard on your heart some days

OLD SLATS ECHO BARE BRANCHES

IN MEMORY OF WINTER BRANCHES

Cold pounces await

Hungers to eat lamb

Claws curled

Death breezes
Farewell Hunting Tiger

 Warm cuddles await

Tame as a lamb

Softly curled

Breath breezes
Hello Sleeping Tiger

OLD TIME BOWLING GREEN IN A MODERN WORLD

Balancing companions

Stirring rebellions

Belonging wherever they are

As near to one another as far

One is calm the other is spice

Quietly loud with gentle advice

ALONG THE ROAD
