I went back to the cemetery today, for 20 minutes. It was a much needed reminder to calm down. Life is a gift, and my grievances will have closure. Things happen for a reason, and this is a year of growth and independence. All the struggles I have faced were all lessons I needed to learn. Grow is my word for the year.
Morning Musing 001, Cemetery Webs
Central Ave at 9:00 am, “Coffee, cream, no sugar, thank you, yes sir, no sugar, thank you.” Little sleep, stressed beyond belief, the last few weeks my soulspace has been shivering between tranquility and savagery. As I pass the bridge, I feel an invitation, “Come look, we have something to show you.” I’d intended to spend only 30 minutes, a quick walk to warm my blood, but two hours later, the cemetery has me spellbound. Spiderwebs string raindrops like pearls, a monarch butterfly grazes the wind, magenta flowers collect dewey diamonds, a bird of prey momentarily rests on the fence eyeing both the chit chat birds and skipping squirrels, and I feel my heartbeat match the rhythm of the morning crickets. My savagery melts away for today. It’s important to connect with nature & myself on a daily basis. There is nothing more important than “being”. Tomorrow I’ll return to the cemetery.
