Healing
We heal when we remember we are part of nature.
We heal when we remember we are whole.
We are healing, with every breath, with every moment, with each movement.
We are healing.
We are whole.
– M.
Focus
Focus your thoughts on each moment.
Let go of the last.
Understand you will get to the future.
You are here, now.
Bring your focus in.
-M.
Peace
Breathe in peace.
Breathe out fear.
Breathe in healing.
Breathe out fear.
Breathe in trust.
Breathe out….
-M.
Grow
Process through the pain.
Feel each new growth as it changes you and your surroundings.
It is not going to be without discomfort.
You are growing, learning, and are yearning to become who you were meant to be.
Looking back, looking forward, staying present, it’s all okay.
Regret, forgiveness, understanding that each experience was for a reason.
For growth.
This process is not easy.
Forgiveness heals.
Forgiving others helps you also forgive yourself.
Letting go of attachments to feelings or emotions, pains or expectations, allows you to find peace.
Allowing peace helps you achieve more understanding of this life and the process of it all.
Don’t hold onto anger, judgement or fear.
Let go.
Release.
Be free of it so you can have peace.
You are worthy of peace.
You are allowed to feel good.
You will keep growing, no matter what.
It might not always feel good, but it will be okay.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are healing.

The Road to Somewhere
As much as I dream of leaving, I also dream of staying.
Isn’t it so confusing? That push-pull feeling?
Should I stay or should I go…
Every time I think of leaving, I remember how much I feel at home.
Then every time I think of staying, I think about how much I want to go explore.
Show me the world from a window.
Let me see through that looking glass.
Take me for a spin around the globe and then let me come back home and have a weekend in.
Let’s take a chance on a lotto ticket.
Let’s spin a wheel or two.
Maybe we can buy a plane ticket and not know where to.
I have a wild side that needs to go see all the places.
I also have a homebody side that likes to order in and listen to the silence as it dances through the air.
I’m not looking for lovers or one night stands.
Just looking for best friends, adventures, new back roads and cities.
I’m only looking for new scenery.
A new direction.
A new way home.
A new place to get lost in the woods.
A new beach to see the sun rise then fall.
Let’s take a chance and make all right turns.
Then we can laugh while taking all left turns, calling them wrong turns, while we drive back home.
Let’s just go.
Maybe one day,
Maybe sometime,
Maybe somewhere we will go.

Majestic Mountains
Mountains, how do you stand so tall?
I have tried so hard to stretch my neck and straighten my back, yet still, I cannot stand as tall.
You get the first dusting of snow.
The clouds hover around your peaks and dance among your valley’s, which always seem to drop so low.
The wondrous heights that one must climb to get to the tops of your highest peaks, takes such great efforts for even the strongest ones around.
You have yet to show weakness, which is something I also am trying to learn.
How do you just sit there all day and all night?
You must get a bit tired of not moving.
Oh mountains, you bring so many hills and valleys.
Each spring you bring us water, as the snow melts and flows down your strong mountain sides.
Thank you for your strength and determination to stand strong and tall all day, through the many years of your life.
How do I show you gratitude for I am so, very grateful to you, even just for your incredible beauty and each rise and fall of your peaks and valleys.
You truly are majestic, each beautiful part that makes you, you.
-M.
Fall Chills
Fall… You arrive so quickly.
So briskly, with your chill.
It’s like you creep in, during the night, without letting me say goodbye to my dear, sweet summer.
I don’t ever wish for summer to end, yet when you arrive, I am grateful.
Though, you sure do not ease yourself in, with your brisk nights and sharply chilly mornings.
The colors you bring are so beautiful.
Your chill really is, at times, close to miserable, yet, I forgive you, for the beauty that your bring with you is.. well… it makes it all worthwhile.
What a charmer you are, as you warm us up with the sight of your colors.
None are the same, each different shades and each so beautiful on their own, but especially together.
Fall, I guess you can stay for a while…
Until winter blows in and takes over…
Maybe, just maybe, next year, I may hope for your smile of leaves so brightly colored; red, orange and yellow.
Thank you for showing me the swift kiss of a breeze and a soft hug of the falling leaves.
Goodness, you sure do give me the chills…
– M.
