The Mirror
“I’m furious! This was forced upon me.”Look in the mirror. “I’m angry! This was forced upon me.”Look in the mirror. “I’m disappointed! This was forced upon me.”Look in the mirror. Reluctantly, I obey.Locking eyes with my reflection,I can see. I’m tired of carrying so much weight;burdened by loss, sadness, despair. Like a veil lifting from…

Book Release: Beauty of the Slow Drip
It’s been about a year and I realized I never made an announcement about the release of my most recent book, a collection of poetry and prose – Beauty of the Slow Drip: a journey of loss, grief, and healing. This was probably due in part because the day after it went to print another…

A Beautiful Gift
I choose to be gratefuleven when I’ve lost,for by letting goI’ve gained understanding. I have awakened to this reality—by holding nothing, my hands are openpositioning themselves for what’s to come. By clinging not, I am free. Might the purpose of this earthly experiencebe to shed all the density that bindsand open oneself to the Spiritthat…

Love is calling
In quiet contemplation,I stare at the sepia tones of fallen nature. I rest in knowingthat which is releasedwill come back. Tho form may change,essence is eternal.One is never really lost,from the whole in which it came. Tho you may feelthere’s a hole in your soul,and joy may seem far away,out of reach by human touch.…

Wrestling with God
In my hardest lossesI’ve wrestled with Godtrying to make sense of it all. I’ve screamed; I’ve kicked.I’ve had quite the tantrumslike a toddler not getting her way. But when my energy fadesI’m left weary and broken,and that’s right where I need to be.For God never leaves; He’s always thereloving and holding me. When I wrestle…

When Lost
That which makes life so beautiful,when lost, is what makes life so hard. Coming to accept this truth—that you can’t have one without the other—produces a transformation within.Creating proper perspective and understanding;they are two sides of the same coin. Learn to appreciate and love deeplyyet hold with open handsfor a time will come when you…

Loss in the Holidays
Dealing with loss in the holiday seasonleaves me adrift in a sea of joy and grief. Wanting to celebrate the beauty,but sadness striking as one’s missing.Waves of joy and waves of griefcrash one onto the other. Mixed emotions are to be expected,and accepted as part of the process. In time, these waves of joy will…
