✩ her-words// she begins here / in that space in-between the dark and light / it is where her heart is / a space of blue / where she walks each morning / allowing her thoughts to wander / then she collects them as though / each one / a shell along a shoreline of crashing waves . . . #innerexcavation #blue #herwords #mypoetryjuly 💙#daily #morningwalk #wellness #ritual even when feeling unwell ... 🎈because honoring personal rhythms sustains momentum, Braveheart. ~stargardener ⭐️✨

"How do you nurture yourself?" #innerexcavation // by being in this 🙌🏽 space of my 🏡acreage, my personal bit of ❤️✨homeland and nature; this sky over my woodlands 🌳🌲🌿 and wild gardens 🌾... walking in few-soaked grasses; grounding myself each morning 🌄🌞✨

her-words// she stood near him / her true love / together and one / they knew this day would come / and now it was over / unexpected but expected / the new and the unknown / the release and the hopes / contrasts falling together

paint your palette blue and grey / look out on a summer's day / with eyes that know the darkness in my soul -Don McLean, Vincent // #watercolorsky #portal presenting the option of embracing everything in my heart "as is" and in faith that all will be well; just as the adventure of living always presents its palettes of blues and greys awaiting the 🖌brushstrokes of daily choices

Color choices for today + I started writing words from this passage onto this week's week-at-a-glance page:

the way that you followed, the way that carried you into your future, that brought you to this place, no matter that it sometimes took your promise from you, no matter that it had to break your heart along the way: the sense of having walked from far inside yourself out into the revelation, to have risked yourself for something that seemed to stand both inside you

- David Whyte from Pilgrim

To decide to view yourself as a complete stranger, someone who has just stepped ashore in your life, is a liberating exercise.

I knew this summer would be different; perhaps one of the best ever ...

===================

Happy Summer! What are new freedoms you could explore? What new possibilities will you date to believe? 🎈 "Summers had a logic all their own and they always brought something out in me. Summer was supposed to be about freedom and youth and no school and possibilities and adventure and exploration. Summer was a book of hope. That's why I loved and hated summers. Because they made me want to believe."

―Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
