You have traveled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come, to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.

Imitate the habit of twilight,
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.

Be excessively gentle with yourself.

Today I went walking in Millington Woods. Join me in going out into nature, taking your shoes off, walking barefoot on the ground and come home to yourself

This Monday Washday feels like a gift from the goddess ~ the bees are flying, and not just my honey bees but above the hives a blossom tree is amass of glorious bumblebees and alongside a wren sings its hallelujahs. As I peg, all parts of me welcome the sunshine of this spring morning, my body rejoices and I welcome the day ☀️

Each Monday gives us a chance to begin a fresh, with a clean slate ~ what might you begin afresh this week?

Today sees the resurrection of Monday Washday.

Each Monday gives us a chance to begin a fresh, with a clean slate ~ what might you begun afrsh with this week?

When I was a child, and in days gone by long before there were washing machines, the week began with washing clothes on Monday. It is not just a memory of my Mum but of her and my Gran together pulling out the twin tub at the beginning of the day, and it taking at least the whole morning ~ of tugging, toing, and poshing. I especially enjoyed the mangle ~ and from the day I was told “Not too many at a time or it’ll jam” it became a game to see actually how many items I could put through together without it jamming. Of course always keeping in mind the cautionary tale of when my Aunt as a child had in haste jammed her arm through! It was a constant source of delight and wonder!” And oh the ultimate pride in those sheets billowing on the line!

And my gift to you this Easter Sunday morning is this mighty fine poem ~ it really filled me up when I read it today.

Listen for that bell ~ I know I need to listen hard some days ~ maybe the silence is the door to this temple too 🔔

Today I’m flying low & I’m not saying a word
I’m letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep.

The world goes on as it must,
the bees in the garden rumbling a little,
the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten.
And so forth.

But I’m taking the day off.
Quiet as a feather.
I hardly move though really I’m travelling a terrific distance.

Stillness. One of the doors into the temple.

One of my favourite Mary Oliver poems and one of my favourite quotes “Stillness. One of the doors into the temple.” And notice the full stop after “Stillness” an invitation to pause and really drink in the idea of stillness.

And one of my favourite painting “Sunday” by who obviously had the right idea about what Sundays are all about.

I find I oftenstruggle and feel guilty being still ~ that I have to frame it as a yoga practice, a Nidra, a meditation or some such. But today I invite you to be still in whatever way is best for you, and to join me and Mary Oliver in being still.

After a busy, social family day in the city yesterday I’m ready, on this Easter Sunday, for some “temple” time.

In The Face of War I'm So Small, Yet Love Is Big

I can’t make the
world be peaceful

I can’t stall tanks
from roaring down roads

I can’t prevent children
from having to hide in bunkers

I can’t convince the news to
stop turning war into a video game

I can’t silence the sound of bombs
tearing neighborhoods apart

I can’t turn a guided missile
into a bouquet of flowers

I can’t make a warmonger
have an ounce of empathy

I can’t convince ambassadors
to quit playing truth or dare

I can’t deflect a sniper’s bullet
from turning a wife into a widow

I can’t stave off a country being
reduced to ash and rubble

I can’t do any of that

the only thing I can do
is love the next person I encounter
without any conditions or strings

to love my neighbor
so fearlessly that
it starts a ripple
that stretches from
one horizon to the next

I can’t force peace
on the world

but I can become a force
of peace in the world

because

sometimes all it takes
is a single lit candle
in the darkness

to start a movement

“Lord, make me a candle
of comfort in this world

let me burn with peace”

by John Roedel
