The sun is still rising,
the wind is still blowing,
and out here in the wild,
you are growing.
And there might be days
where you might struggle to feel it’s true,
and you might struggle to trust
that here in the wilderness,

Not every perceived challenge we meet in life
is an obstacle we must overcome.

Deep in the forest there stood
A tree whose heart beat in the winter wood
Who understood everything that was bad
And everything that was good.
It extended long arms to woo you
As the winter wind blew and blew

I hope my daughter is beautiful
in the wildest of ways

Sometimes I think this life is too short for me,
When I think of all the things I want to do,
When I think of all the places I want to see,

Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light.
Earth teach me suffering ~ as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility ~ as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young.
"Why We Are Here"

In 1985 I went to a fancy restaurant for lunch by myself, and when they asked me how many, and I said “one please” I could feel a kind of embarrassment come over me.

TOADSTOOL TEA
It's not often you find, a red and white spotted toadstool
For they are very sought after, at this time of Yule
But not by humans, for the Fly Agaric is poisonous you see
It's the Gnomes that collect them, to make a special kind
As we enter into the last week of the year
Take a few moments to look back
before you move forward.
Lovingly wrap the memories you wish
to take with you
and gently discard the moments you
would rather leave behind.

by John O’Donohue
May the light of your soul guide you.
May the light of your soul bless the work

It did not guess how bright a dress
Some day its boughs would wear;
Brown cones were all, it thought, a tall
And grown-up Fir would bear
