It hurts my heart to admit that I have not written a single post here this year. I have been writing, just not here. One of the places where I do write almost daily is in my Morning Pages Journal. This is a discipline that I have had for many years, one that fuels me creatively, intellectually, and spiritually. Though this writing is not fit for public consumption, it is was inspires me to write in other places. Over the…
It was Thanksgiving when I last wrote and now we are only seven days away from Christmas. Over these last three weeks there were days that seemed to go on forever – mainly those where I was so tired that all I could think of was a nap; but for the most part, time has whizzed by. Until the last week, I wasn’t sure that I was going to get my act together for Christmas. There were moments over these…
When time is a day Rather than twenty-four hours, It’s measured in calm. KEB 11/11/15 Today’s prompt “Twilight”
So the worst thing that some folks have to worry about these days is the fact that Starbucks has removed any “Christmas” symbols, like snowflakes and reindeer, from their holiday cups. One militant Christian posted a viral video online saying that this is because Starbucks “hates Jesus.” I’m fairly sure that snowflakes and reindeer are not signs of Jesus. And even if they were, why does it matter what is on your coffee cup? My understanding of Christianity is that…
Today’s Capture Your 365 photo prompt was color. I love color! This should have been so easy for me. I am discovering though, that the prompts whose subjects are those about which I feel deeply connected are the one’s that are most difficult for me. I suspect that I over think them. I finally decided that i would buy some colorful flowers this afternoon at the grocery store and photograph them in a colorful hand blown glass vase that Weber…
Most of my thinking happens on a yellow legal pad. I am thankful for those yellow legal pads that help bring my thoughts to life!
Sunday began November and the season of Thanksgiving. I love this time of year – the falling leaves, the cooler temperatures, big pots of warm soup, and the flannel sheets back on my bed. I also like the idea of being intentional about giving thanks, but, it’s confession time, I don’t really like the Thanksgiving holiday. It always seems like way too much work resulting in way too much food for way too little enjoyment. By the time we…
Today was just the day I needed! It was gray and rainy. Not cold, but that’s okay. And, I got to stay at home all day! For most of the day I could hear the falling rain, its rhythm somewhat irregular but comforting nonetheless. I was up early, made breakfast for Weber, wrote my morning pages, shared a few texts with friends, and then went back to bed for an hour. The weather encouraged it. My calendar allowed it. And,…
Today’s photo brought to you by little energy, little creativity, and little light. (The prompt is spooky background.)
Keep your heart open;. True beauty is felt, not seen. Obstacles persist. KEB 10/21/15
