The Calling
“Something is calling you.
Something is calling you from the quiet space inside
and from the vast universe all around.
Something is calling you to life.
Something is calling forth the stream inside you
and awakening you
to your connection with the source.
You are always connected to the source.
Something is reawakening
your awareness of this connection.
Something is allowing you to remember
that it is the universe
(not the bank, not your job, not the grocery store)
that supplies your every need.
Something is calling you
to take a risk;
to flow more freely;
to burn hotter, brighter.”

The makings of a wonderful Christmas…
January 5, 2012
a long run on a chilly winter’s day
seeking out great coffee with the boy
finding treasure at Snooper’s Paradise
dressing up, heading out
indulging in room service
…and mum’s mince pies
checking out the aquarium
reacquainting oneself with old friends
reading poetry in unexpected places
watching London from above

Always Marry An April Girl
Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy, gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor, April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true — I love April, I love you.
OGDEN NASH (1902 – 1971)
