Moments of Transcendence
Dear Diary,
This morning after a blustery and perfectly pleasing walk through my neighborhood, stomping into puddles of surviving snow in my new rain boots, I returned home windswept in the here and now and drank in the intoxicating smell of hazelnut coffee waiting in the kitchen. I love my home so immensely. Not because it is anything to boast about, but because it is a receptacle for all things I hold dearest.
I welcome friends
talking
with freedom
of time
and mind -
books
laughter
toast
cheese
apples
honey and
jam
perked coffee
mugs
on
the scratched
wooden table.
I find some things are too ethereal to describe directly. We must simply create the sacred space and invite the moment. Even earthy coffee, if partaken with a willing surrender, can usher in encounters with the divine.
What simple things in your life offer moments of transcendence?

Surviving a Hiatus that was NOT self imposed!
Technology. Sometimes a blessing. Sometimes a Curse. Sometimes just a plain old pain in the .......
My apologies for the inspiration free day on Friday, but I awoke to a computer that would just NOT turn on. I panicked. I yelled. I all around FREAKED out.
And then I thought backwards, I realized that I had done something new, there was new hardware installed and that new thing had to be the culprit. And so it was. After hours thinking I had a second dead computer on my hands and surely the tech Gods hated me, (and by the way the laptop that died last year, less than a year to the date that the manufacturer 'fixed' it and my desktop are both from the same manufacturer who I will NEVER trust again), I finally got the machine to power on! Insert singing choir here. I spent hours doing another system back up before I was up and running.
So what happens when the girl who pretty much lives to inspire is frustrated, angry, and most certainly not in the mood to write?

Home Is Where Your Heart Lives
Inspired by the Seed, I write about my home and how it makes me feel:
Maybe it’s the holidays or maybe it’s the 34″ of snow that fell last Sunday, but I’ve felt very grateful for my material possessions lately – especially my home...
