changes, updates, passwords, frustrations
I haven’t blogged for a few years, imagine, if you will, walking back into this place a few years since the last time…
Yup, I forgot my user name and password. There have been changes, things they call ’upgrades’ (eye-roll on my part), many things are different than when I blogged everyday and was in the flow of daily posts. It was so easy. These past 2 posts have not been easy.
But…
I know I will get better at it, things will get easier, I will know all the shortcuts before long. It will be worth it!
Towards evening…
The world becomes drenched in pink light
and the full moon lives smudgy in the sky
Noticing this soft smile in the window shadowed light
I reflect, again, on who I have become in this life’s moment
Losing things still makes me a bit nervous
I still watch the gas tank light appearance with an edge of panic
and can’t relax when my phone is left with my towel
While I’m in a public pool
But I can spend some money on unnecessary and fun things
Without panic
24 years of walking pilgrim –
Carrying what I could
Leaving the rest behind
Losing so much and many
Letting go with open hands
Looking forward with long term vision
Leaping net-less over and over
Learning to trust without proofs
Holding hope every moment
Finding God, and life, faithful
Having crossed harsh borders
into this new county
Flowing with milk and honey
Flowers blooming
Living present
In time with the seasons of love
Remembering to Breathe
Remembering to laugh
Remembering to give thanks
Remembering to sing
That is truly all I need to do to be successful
Remembering to forgive
all that came before now
Remembering to live alive
Right now
That is enough
That is everything
❤️
