Tomorrow

What it will bring
where it will be
can I see it,
no

But know it will be there
only the light can show it's face
as each moment unfolds
it is something new

While I can't see tomorrow,
it all has a chance to be something it wasn't
a chance to create life anew
let the thought go
the memory of the past,
lay it down
make room for creating
for light touching new surfaces
creating new experiences
and new memories
and leaving the past where it was

Sharing a thought from a friend:
"The only way to get over your past is to know there is something in the future to let it go for."

And it smelled like it did when I was a child

And suddenly it smelled like it did when I was a child, yes, I remember it well.  Some of our senses seem to have memory, something I noticed years ago.  My first apartment on my own, walking in and looking around liking what I saw, windows all round the place, lots of light, a garden apartment with grass outside, nice big kitchen, window over the sink, a little niche in the hallway where a phone once resided, a building built awhile ago with all the character of it's time, arches, tile, comfort.  And then opened a cupboard door, the delicate smell there took me back to grandma's house, her kitchen pantry next to the back door.  And all the senses then kicked in, the sound of the seat pushing back, the shopping bags stuffed in the corner, the sound of the screen door slapping against the door frame and the squeak when it opened, the three cement steps out the back door, the smell of breakfast, the shape of my grandmother working at the stove.  The sound of foot...

Mercury retrograde

Image
If you believe in the ebb and flow of influence in the universe you may know of the backward movement of Mercury, the retrograde.  It is still moving forward and yet appears moving backward.  That's life isn't it, on a path you keep walking yet circle back or need to step back to gain momentum to move forward. Some think Mercury retrograde is detrimental and self-defeating if one is trying to make continuous unimpeded progress.  I've come to another train of thought.  I look at it as if rowing a boat, you pull and stroke to propel the boat forward, yet as you lift the oars to stroke again you lose a bit of momentum and just glide.  With your continuous movement the oars re-enter the water to pull against the resistance and move you forward once again. Good lesson for life - even a car has to sit and idle at a traffic light, we can't always move forward without momentary glides, and stops, before we act again to help us gain more momentum.  We neverthel...

I've fallen and I don't want to get back up

Image
It seems in the spiritual world the message these days is about falling, and making sure to get up.  They are words of encouragement to be sure, reminding us that no matter how we fall, no matter what life hands us, the measure of who we are is that we get up again.  Well I've got some experience with that, spent most of my life like a Jack-in-the-box, always brushing off when life hit hard, jumped right back up and into the fray, refusing to be undone by challenges. ...and life happened. Today I found myself wanting to argue with that, was tired of the message about getting back up. One more comment and I was seeing red, I wanted to argue, wanted to scream that sometimes you can't get back up, you don't want to face the life, certainly not where you've been and not the challenge, the battles, the failure, the difficulty, and sometimes you just don't have the strength to get back up.  Sometimes,  there is nothing left to stand on. So, it left me mulling over ...
