Welcome To Here

          Welcome to here. Right now. Where the slate is clean and the day is open to possibilities. Life is waking up. Dawn is yawning and stretching in it's rising.

          Welcome to now; where anything is still possible, and we can use it or lose it. This strange moment of transition in our lives, one we all want, all desire to make the most of, all react to differently.

          Alot hinges on this present moment, on our engaging it (or not), on response to it period. To be fully present in it can be overwhelming, stressful, an unachievable task. This is where I am. Welcome to here; where I am tired, overwhelmed, while also wanting to make the most of this gift of a day. Welcome to now; when patience and focus don't come easy, where wanting a calm that produces quality and productivity is hoped for....so I listen. I let the words speak to me of God-given instructions, make a reasonable list of to-dos that can be accomplished, and I remember good is still possible. I remember the same good, given by the same God I believe in (who never changes) can be given again.

          I listen to live, be healthy, useful, and in this seemingly small way I embrace the present; I maximize it. Welcome to here. Where the to-do list is done, healthy is beginning and working in me, and hope is growing again in this worn soul. It may be cloudy out, but the "sun" is beginning to shine in me, the good that is showing brighter now....and I'm gonna enjoy it.

What Isolation Sees (An Older Poem I Wrote)

Once thought alone, this is no longer, this faulty thought process, for eyes look upon me in a pensive mindset. Not the Infinite but the internal are found here though, myself shrouded in dark invisibility, face to face with this mysterious entity, one called isolation. He looks on me in silence, a silence that speaks volumes though no word is uttered. Examination of self is impressed upon me, for such is his influence on my being. I dare to look again at myself, along with isolation, and here do I look upon it all, good and bad alike. What isolation sees he shows me: faults and found strengths, skills I knew not I possessed, failings I was unaware of, ones buried deep within me, ones hidden well inside. This mysterious one isn’t a curse, and in his presence I find myself again, I begin again to right myself, and here I am being made whole once more. What isolation sees isn’t always bad, nor is what he shows, these blessed ways from the Infinite, ways to make us better, better if we a...

Just Write (How To Create When You're Beginning And Feeling Overwhelmed)

               You’re stuck. You feel empty. Overthinking seeks to imprison you; you can’t be shackled though, unless you don’t try. Just write. Don’t worry if it’s perfect, or even how much you will be able to write. Listen as you do, listen as that “inner writer” speaks (for they will) and words will arrive to meet you. First a few words will gather together, one by one, making complete pictures; small actions to a bigger result of greater writing. The little will grow, and so will your confidence. Just write.                  Just a word at a time while remembering to keep writing. Soon paragraphs will be seen. One word will become two and sentences will gather together becoming paragraphs. Just write. You will encounter overwhelming perfection call out loudly on your journey, attempting to stop you….this is where you need to remember you can edit later. Just write. It will be beautiful, the complete...

I Will Stand My Ground

        Light breaks through as clouds of despair are pierced, as hope begins to shine bright again, fierce and unrelenting. Life enters with the wind where change casts it's welcome breezes, and here I breathe in this refreshing shift of resolve.         Small steps are taken toward the dawning of renewal, a faith restored again as a good to be is reassured and seen in parts with each movement to healing; healing to grace for the broken, direction for the lost...for us all.
