Mondays Offerings...all that is new

We went down early
me and my puppy prince
before the sun rose

waiting for its warmth
to cover the frozen earth
waiting for it to expel 
what was left of the night
and welcome in 
the new day
*
we could see its presence rising
waiting for the exact moment it would
 show itself over the line
of the horizon
  

the earth
hung in anticipation of it's awakening
and the blanket of fog
slowly rose
as movement began
throughout the trees

 and then He appeared
the golden flame of light
a perfect circumference
inching into the full sky
bringing in 
another new day
filled with possibilities
filled with choices
filled with life

and I took it all in
basking in the warm light
as it caress my frozen cheeks
Grateful for a new day
new chances
new experiences
new possibilities...
*

these days
my life has been filled
with many things new
a readjusting of space and time
a new rhythm
a new beat
I have not been visiting 
as I usually do
this will take some time
to find my place
within this new song

I am doing some traveling
in the next few weeks
a couple adventures
lie in wait
a trip to Phoenix with a girlfriend
to do a half marathon
and then a family excursion 
to Florida
(minus one member who will stay home to hold down the fort)
but I will schedule some posts
for a story I have to tell...

these are new
and yet familiar times
I am blessed by this new day
and all the beauty
the light
and
the dark
that it holds

For a New Beginning

a Blessing to Bless the Space between Us

by John O'Donohue

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,

Where your thoughts never think to wander,

This beginning has been quitly forming

Waiting untill you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,

Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,

Noticing how you willed yourself on,

Still unable to leave what you had our grown.

It watched you play with the seduction of sagety

And the gray promises that sameness whispered

Heard the waves of trumoil rise and relent

Wondered woudl you always live like this.

Then the deligh, when your courage kindled

And out you stepped onto new ground,

Your eyes young again with energy and dream,

A path of plentitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear

You can trust the promise of this opening;

Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning

That is at one with your life's desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;

Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;

Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,

For your soul senses the wrold that awaits you.

What is new for you my lovelies?

Love and Light
