You stand between heaven and earth, How do you stand?
How will you adjust the balance of your life?
Can you live an imperfect life and give it joy and peace?
Day 20 of NaNOWriMo… I will not be getting to the 50,000 and I’m good with that.
Some mornings, you’d rather not have remembered the tiniest piece of your dream life. Some of it holds you hostage all day in your body. A sort of residual ache from the dark side of things. Unsettling. Sippy the coffee. aaaahhh The pleasure of distraction.
It was a battering wind last night, as I sat nestled in the quiet and comfort of my home listening to the swirl and rap of it on my windows. Glad to be sheltered. Grateful for the life I live and those close that I share it with. Looking forward to going to the InnerFaith Center for some ‘celebration’ of body, mind, and spirit. I feel I have found my spiritual community in Ann Arbor. More gratitude, more sippy the coffee.

The Way is paved with gold and dirt
It smells of Spring and death
It fills the mind with peace and riot
It’s the journey to your last breath
For some there is an easy Way
For some there is anguished storms
What ever Way is your chosen way
Embrace it to transform
There will be betrayals along the path
You can choose your attitude
Attitude is the one thing you have
To sift pain to gratitude
Forgiveness will be your weapon
Takes the victim mentality away
Empowers your existence
Seeks kindness on the pathway
Make no mistake that living
Will carve a hole within your heart
Make no mistake that living
will never let Love, and joy depart
You chose the Way that serves your life
What choices will you make?
If you want to be a ‘cranky pants’
You’ll get less of life’s tasty cake
