before anything else...
place your heart in the arms of a tree
find the first flood of light and stand open armed
allowing the warmth to completely enter you
when thoughts begin to rise like sap searching for a home
become the wind and simply let go
feel the willing sky carry you
the way your heart opens when birds sing
resting beside you in the open air of acceptance
witness the awakening all around you
how it feels to be alive, to greet this new day
to live life like a prayer
begin there
sometimes we are nothing more than
cupped hands at dawn
hoping to catch the light.
xoxo

The sky is low today
A gun metal grey cannon
Speaking to those below
The birds are sheltering
Squirrels run for cover
No leaves bloom yet for protection
Ice may visit; dangerous ice
Shelter preparation continues
Prayers ascend for safety from
The Storm

I love coming here to find out synchronicity has been at play, yet again! That the universe keeps joining us together by threads of love in our Sister Circles....Hugs xxx

Reading your amazing verse nearly made me cry. I am not sure why. However, I did start my day with a discussion on a book that Father gave our parish for Christmas. Perhaps since i've been trying to make myself open to God's making a change in me, that this touched me even more. I love your openness. Thank you, dear Rebecca for being you.

Cupped hands don't seem like much, but they can hold a universe of love!

"sometimes we are nothing more than
cupped hands at dawn
hoping to catch the light." Rebecca, may I add your words to the quotes on my blog? This touches me in such a deep place.
