lighting your way-
I prepare for the New Year and a continuation of observing one small moment a day. In January of this year I began the observations and the writing of small stones. The last two days my preparations have included returning to read my very first stones. (In this recalling I see once again why I join with Fiona Robyn in her lovely endeavor to encourage us all to pay attention. Check out the lovely online writing community Writing Our Way Home.)
I am choosing to re-post this stone as a way of circling back to a moment when I paused just long enough realize where balance is found.

Lighting Your Way by Teri H Hoover

Moving aside impossibilities
the path has became wide.
And for a brief moment, a bit of light.
I
am walking along my path, set with a direction for my energy. A lovely
path of connection, allowing my heart a safe place to be. Unwanted
ambivalence steps onto the path. The sources are too many to name. My
heart retracts, my breath restricted- there is an ominous darkness
ahead. I am learning to turn to God, who takes my hand and
carries my fear - so I can breathe. He laughs and says, be here with me, I
will light your way.
You are a poet, my friend. Lovely words; lovely truth.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful, Teri.
ReplyDeleteStill a beautiful, timely post. The photo is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, Teri. May small stones continue to build your path and guide your way.
Have you seen the movie "The Way?" I just thought to ask you. It was one of my favorite movies last year.
