Writing on Instagram was where I started almost three years ago. It was easy and immediate. If someone wanted to comment, then sometimes there was a conversation. Last night, though, I suddenly thought about stopping writing on IG. Was I feeling uninspired? Or was it more the lack of engagement? To be honest, I don't… Continue reading To write or not to write?
at night. in silence
This is one of my 'waking up in the middle night with a poem' poems, which sometimes happens. I remember that when I woke up, there was the strongest feeling of time and life passing. There was a sense of weight or heaviness in recognising the time I've already had. And in not knowing how… Continue reading at night. in silence
if life is a journey
I was looking for a poem to share one day on Instagram. But without any inspiration, I looked through my notes and found this. I don't think that I've shared it before. I don't feel that I have. Anyway, I wrote this on a plane - according to the notes. Too many hours in the… Continue reading if life is a journey
coming and going
Whenever I travel, I have a few things I like to do for a peaceful, happy and intentional journey. One that I've been doing for a while now, is to make an intention to arrive safely at my destination. Mostly, this is about a smooth landing at my destination. I see it in my mind… Continue reading coming and going
some days
Some days are easy. They offer themselves to us. We live inside them. With ease and flow.Other days are not. They present themselves. We struggle inside them. With difficulty. One thing that life is, is constantly changing. Within our life, there is ease and comfort as well as challenge and difficulties. There is ebb and… Continue reading some days
the night is too bright
One night, I woke to bright light coming through the windows instead of darkness. This was the real start of winter. After snowfall, the white landscape below was reflecting and intensifying all the light..The night is too brightSnow reflectedAll is lightThe night is too quiet Sound absorbedAll is still The night is too longMany questions… Continue reading the night is too bright
a view. my view
A while ago, I remember that I wrote about wanting to be somewhere with a view. In a place 'just for me'. Was it last year? The year before? I don't remember ...Perhaps I envisaged this. Or something that felt like this. I don't remember that either. But somehow being able to look out onto… Continue reading a view. my view
small kindnesses
This story has been waiting for a little while to be written. There have been reasons to write it earlier but I've kept putting it off. Just now though, another reason has appeared. So I'm prompted to share a few words about some 'small kindnesses' recently shared with me. A few minutes ago, I realised… Continue reading small kindnesses
managing … life
I've been thinking lately about how to manage ... life, I suppose. About how we all need to cope in our own ways with life's challenges. How we need to manage our emotions and our energy, and keep balance in our lives. If I think about where I am now compared to where I was… Continue reading managing … life
sunrise reflected
There is a glass block window o the stairs. It reflects light and colour from the outside which changes with season and time of day. The poem was inspired by a sunrise one morning along with a sense of presence, and feeling of being 'here.' Sunrise reflected Wall of windows Sharing lightReflections shineFrom withoutTo within… Continue reading sunrise reflected
in between
In between. This is how I feel. In-between seasons. I'm still in-between time zones. I left a sunny summer behind in Australia. Today it is 38 degrees there. I'm currently at -2 where I am but at least the fog has finally lifted to reveal a sunny day. People sometimes ask me, why did I… Continue reading in between
new year … intentions
I've been sharing a few words with a friend about my intentions for 2023. I know that most people begin a New Year with a bunch of well-intentioned resolutions. They have tasks to do and goals to pursue. But I no longer do. Instead of making resolutions for the New Year, I set intentions. What's… Continue reading new year … intentions
