Consuming or Creating

Which will you choose?

Depletion or regeneration

The endless hunger of more or the wellspring within?

How will you contribute?

By taking from the world or giving something new?

By feeding the void or nurturing the seed…..

What An Interesting Old Lady

May I know, at the end of my days,

That each of my choices have mattered -

That I have done work that has mattered -

That the experiences of my life

Have been mixed together into one big earthen bowl

Rich with kindness

And served with a generous heart…….

Our Precious Attention

Where do you place your precious attention?

Is it scattered like leaves in the wind -

Distracted, tugged in a thousand different directions?

Is it surface-level,

Skimming the edges of what truly matters?

Or is it deep, sustained, reverent -

A gaze that honours the moment,

That sees beyond the noise

And into the heart of things?…….

Soothe

Frantic

Exhausted

Overwhelmed

Running on empty

This culture of rushing and hustle

Demanding everything

Offering nothing in return….

Nourished

Which do you choose?

Juicy

Vital

Soft

Sensual

Relaxed

Flexible

Grounded

Plump with possibility

Alive

OR…..

Integrate

Breathe deeply

Let yourself arrive here

An invitation

For your body to soften

Your nervous system to exhale

The restless river of thought to quieten beneath the noise of life

Beneath the stretch

A soft undoing…..

Fragrance

Fragrance arrives in the ordinary

It has its own language

Finding its way through the senses

A signature of each moment

The kitchen after baking

Sweet and warm and lovely…..

Unsensible

I no longer wish to be sensible

To tuck in my wild edges

Or explain my joy

Sensible is beige

And boring……..

Weaving Wonder

I gather my life

In simple acts

Pouring tea

Lighting some incense

Chopping herbs for cooking

Watching the dappled sunlight

Spread across the wooden floors

Like a blessing of warmth……..

Regeneration

We begin

Where the roots are dry

Where separation has left its mark

On our bodies

Our relationships

Our world

We begin

Not with grand gestures……

Ageless Beauty

I no longer measure myself by numbers, reflections or timelines

I have outgrown the mirror’s opinion

I am not reaching backwards

Or chasing the shimmer of youth

Or polishing myself to be more palatable

I do not resist time

I rise with it

And let it carve me into someone……

I Am More Than A Photo

I am more than a photo

More than frozen light

Or captured angles

Cropped and contained

In someone else’s frame…..
