Blessings

 Kitchen Table, Blacksburg, VA- March 31, 2013

Easter 
curves into remembering

what is hidden 
can be found.

Lostness is just stuckness 
in the in 
between 
parts.

Thank goodness Kirsi sent me just the right quote. 

“Everything will be alright in the end. So if it is not alright, it is not yet the end.” —

quote from the movie-The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 

And  Patti spent the day looking for Eeyore while on vacation in Ireland.

And my sisters both texted me.

And my yoga teacher reminded me to smile.

And my husband is still in the country.

And it is going to be alright. 

Finding Home

East Nashville, TN- April 23, 2011

Like an echo straining to hear what has been said -

My home is found
in knowing I am safe 
at home -
even when far away.

Today I was blessed to attend the grace filled house of East End United Methodist Church-Easter blessings spilled into my heart as I stood beside my son and his wife.  Overcome -- have you ever been overcome by a moment being too wonderful? When you know for a fact that Gods love has not left this world and in fact is right there that very second? So much better than  colored eggs and chocolate. There was not a basket or bunny in sight today - Although I do recall a rousing rendition of "Little Bunny Foo Foo". After church we had a lovely lunch and talked. Followed by a foray into a hot tub under a an oak tree with week old leaves. Then the rain came and chased us inside.  The day brought text messages, emails and phone calls. It brought stories and music and laughter. It brought blessings- even without bunnies.


I moved tearfully beyond
