In the garden there was dim light
not yet dawn light
far from daylight
in my spirit there was no light
there was darkness everywhere.
Deeper silence on the out-breath
not yet gone breath
far from in-breath
in my spirit there was no breath
there was chaos everywhere.
Then the earth turned and the leaves moved
and the light moved
and my breath moved
in a moment all the world moved
grace was flowing everywhere
I had given up on answers
broken answers
empty answers
in the letting go of answers
peace was rising, everywhere.

How lovely, Kitty. We hold on to so much in our anxiety and fear and the answers have no way through. Beautiful photos.

Thank you for your kindness in visiting and sharing. Jeanne; I love your visits! We really are in a time where, whether we like it or not, we’re asked to swim through oceans of anxiety daily. Letting go is my only means of remaining buoyant at times. And just noticing where the light is.
Be safe and well, and gentle peace to you as we wade into another week.
xoxo,
Kitty

This is so pertinent! How our emotions spin and tip….but the light changing helps. Just loving your writing and photography, those poppies are simply stunning. I have some Himalayan ones I sowed last year, hoping they flower this year. Love and huge hugs to one and all.xxxx
