The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest ~ Sir Thomas Moore ~

new moon journaling...

when you take your journal down
from the bookcase …
with every intention to write
about your day …
the serenity of the walk along the lake
 finding beach glass and stones in the shape of a heart along the way 
as you happily add them to your gathering bag
hearing the sound of the waves
and pausing to watch and take long, deep, intentional breaths of  the fresh,  salty air
and hearing the serenade of bird song
when you close your eyes for a moment to really listen
and then looking around to see where it was coming from
and noticing it was a red winged black bird  who was watching you as he sang each beautiful note
and then …
pause before ever turning the cover over
because at that moment you have "other ideas" for the plain black cover
because your day was far too beautiful
and you are much too grateful
to write the words down in an ordinary plain covered journal :-)
Wild Moon Woman
you were not 
made to be tame
you are
 an earthquake
shaking loose
everything
that is not soul
Shake
Woman
Shake
