55) Solo at the cabin again

Solo at the cabin again

     Allabody gone home

          Took an extra day

     Tidy up and catch my breath

Catch my breath

      Breath of the Spirit

          What I truly need

      I feel a little winded

Whirlwind activity

      Always with the little ones

           Precious children

      Growing up so fast

Want to build good memories

      Love for the woods

           Family time together

      Time to slow down

That’s what we need to do

      S  L  O  W     D O W  N 

           I hear that cry often

      With the people I meet

Keep it simple

     Less time in the car

          Less going places

     More time to just Be

Walk in the woods

     Stop to hear the wind

          Check out the beauty

     Wonder at the bog

Listen for the birds

     Admire the huge rocks

          Touch the soft moss

     Feel the crunchy leaves

Look! A cranberry!

     There’s a pitcher plant!

           Sparkles on the water

     Autumn leaves floating down

Stop, look and listen

     Classic phrase

           Lift my eyes to You Lord

     Praise the glory of Creation

Glory in each other

     All created by You

          All for a purpose

    Nothing is random

Take another breath

     Here in the cabin

           Typing on the keyboard

     Only sound I hear

I’m in a time capsule

      Going back to youth

           Surrounded by memories

     Wrapped up with gratitude 

And always with You

     Aware of Your Presence

          Bringing Your Peace

     Quieting my heart

So thank You Lord praise You

     You’ve brought me here again

           Whisper  in the silence

     Be still and know that I AM

Keep people first

     Each sacred soul

           Sharing life together

     May You be our Center

          Always and forever….
