Busy? Be Reflective

BWith the beginning of each new season, I make time to reflect on the prior season. Today I sit outside reading my Winter journal here on the cusp of Spring.

To my delight I find…

“I’m perusing cookbooks fondly remembering the taste of chess squares, date pin wheels and lemon bars as well as making them. Then I look up to see juncos eating millet I just put out which makes me SO happy.”

Busy? Be Healed

(Yesterday I got down on my hands and knees and smelled hyacinths in a yard a few streets from mine.  I propped up their purple bodies from where they lay as the night’s freeze had toppled them.  Their sweet scent reminded me of their healing me a year ago. Enjoy-Dawn)

I clipped the hyacinths this morning not knowing they were frozen until I tried to smell them. Their intense purpley-blue buds…

Busy? Be Kind - Random Acts of Kindness Week

I had forgotten it is “Random Acts of Kindness Week” as I sat in Hillsboro Village‘s Fido Monday evening.  From a window seat, I ate and watched  a man walk back and forth across 21st approaching customers as he sold The Contributor.   Eventually I…

"Field of Light" by England artist Bruce Munro at Cheekwood, TN. Cheekwood is only the 2nd place in the U.S. to show Mr. Munro's work. Upon first seeing this, I thought of the many souls hovering over Earth anticipating their turn for this physical journey. Then I saw the many Light souls already here doing the work they came to do.

Blue Moon by Bruce Munro at Cheekwood in Nashville, TN. A beautiful reminder to me of the moon's ever changing phases and Time's previous passing. Enjoy! Dawn, The Good News Muse

These tulips remind me of the posture evoked by events unfolding this week. Then I realized leaning on one another is the posture suited for all times, not just times of crisis. Here's to leaning.

Light calls Life. Life calls Light. These shoots call for a shift in me. What calls and shifts you?

I've read all the leaves on a tree unfurl on the same day. I don't know if this is true but I imagine hearts unfurling, opening around the world all on the same day....just once. Imagine the living, breathing, moving, giving, loving, teeming/teaming Shift that would bring. If just for one day....the world would never be the same.

I see dried flower's papery blossoms and know they inspired fabric. I touch them. They crumble. This post will soon move throughout the fabric of the Universe. And at the touch of this screen, something in me crumbles. Something in me flowers.

Open up. Let yourself be loved.

The shifting dance between sun and trees reveals patterns on Mother Earth's grassy soil reminding me of Life's dance and the shifts I embrace revealing patterns in my Soul.

This morning as I sat on the sofa, I took the deepest breath. It actually seemed the breath took me. Suddenly I was filled with spaciousness. Who might we be, what might we find if for just a day we took off our watches, put away our clocks and turned off all our time keeping machines? The world as we know it would stop. The world as it is would be revealed, seen.

This morning I awoke with so much on my mind. My head was filled with thoughts of getting up to write, not 'getting to' as in want to but thoughts based in 'have to.' I had to work on all the stories back logged in piles, bags, folders and flash drives. Then I got it! My mind was empty and I was suddenly filled with a sense-knowing: I am loved. If I never put out another story, I would still be loved. There is nothing, nadda, zip, zilch I have to do to be loved. I am loved. I am Love. So are you.
