one day
each day
that was all we had
over and over
from the light of day
to the darkest sky
lit by the stars of the heavens
it was our promise with the rising sun
to be there
to care
to love
to support
moving from the known
to the unknown
to set aside the injustice of fleeting time
to live in a season of gratitude
sometimes having to swim through the darkness
to find gratitude waiting
what a fitting time to remember all that
the season of advent
where all creation awaits
the mystery of new beginnings
peace
love
hope
It is then that we might look up, see the heavens reflected in the night sky and remember... remember to focus on what is, not what isn't. Make gratitude part of your journey. Let it creep into your soul and guide your path.
My journey this Advent is just that - to allow gratitude and 43 years of hope and goodness to guide my path, not the tears and frustrations of the last several years.
I am ready to remember:
