I'm not so good at this

Taking a break from the rush of my life.
Going somewhere where I feel no connection to:
faces I know, names I know, places I know.

Should I take a few days? Should I take a few days?


Getting re-focused and establishing space;
to listen, to pause, to wander on a walk with an unspecified pace.

Talking and writing and doing I do best;
but time outs without defined purpose are difficult and challenging quests.

I should take a few days, I should take a few days.


A friend said, you may not know the purpose, but Papa knows the way.
So I suppose I should hang up my drivers seat for a few short days.

Its just a few days, its just a few days.


So I'll make some new friends and relearn to play,
like slumber parties of my youth and its unstructured way.

I will take my few days, I will take my few days.

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
