yin ~ yang ...

~gently now~

***

in this space

filled with grace

I stand

holding your precious life

in my hands

when the time comes

branches will be waiting nearby

with new found bravery

wings you will try

in trepidation

you may pause

asking "but how?"

and I will softly whisper

"gently … now" x

~d.d~

...tis the human touch in this world that counts , the touch of your hand in mine ...

thoughts of nature and balance and connection

the yin and yang, opposites attract, interconnection, 

the feminine and masculine, treading gently  and

holding space

some beautiful glass from yesterdays beach walk...

soft warm sand between my toes *a family of sandpipers { I hadn't realized just how gorgeous they are until seeing them up close & very friendly} *the hum of waves *seagulls flying overhead* red winged blackbirds singing their beautiful song* bees & Monarchs enjoying milkweed * blue skies & warm breeze , beach glass gathering as I walked { I found some 'new to me ' colours}* pretty pieces of pottery * unusual stones & hearts galore ~ a beautiful way to start the week

I bring them home and sit

with my tea

and mindfully take each piece out of my gathering bag

and place them on my coffee table

I found lots of beautiful heart shaped stones …

they don't all come home with me

I know there are other beach combers who will be happy to find some

love from the lake :-D 

but this one … well it spoke to me

some of the lovely smaller pieces of glass I found in gorgeous shades

… stones with heart shapes inside them

& a yin yang stone

often described in terms of sunlight playing over a mountain or valley ~ I love that description x

"all things carry yin

and embrace yang.

they reach harmony

by blending with the vital breath"

~Laozi~ 

"the yin and yang

 are opposite forces.

yet, they exist together 

in the harmony

of a perfect orb"

~R.A. Wise~
