Winter’s Cloak by Joyce Rupp

This year I do not want
the dark to leave me.
I need its wrap
of silent stillness,
its cloak
of long lasting embrace.
Too much light
has pulled me away
from the chamber
of gestation.
Let the dawns
come late,
let the sunsets
arrive early,
let the evenings
extend themselves
while I lean into
the abyss of my being.
Let me lie in the cave
of my soul,
for too much light
blinds me,
steals the source
of revelation.
Let me seek solace
in the empty places
of winter’s passage,
those vast dark nights
that never fail to shelter me.

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?

This grasshopper, I mean—
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down—
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.

Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.

I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

What does nature say to you? What does your body say in return?

Play with writing your own haiku and leave it in the comments below. Like mine, if the syllables are off have not a care!

Engage that little 4th grade self and see what arises.

It’s never too late to reset and bring intention to the moment. How do you want to be in this moment?

What would fill you up and bring you more in relationship with yourself and others?

Kindness, joy, humor, beauty.... the sky is the limit!

Try this mindful practice with me today. When ever you notice yourself rushing or lost in thought as you go through the day, notice your feet making contact with the earth, take a few deep breaths, soften and slow your step. Notice how you feel.
