When We Stumble

 

 

There are days when the smallest pebble feels like the biggest boulder

There are days when I ponder quite a lot

There are days when my heart is so full I fear it will burst

 

There are days I wish for 15 more hours in the day

There are days when making espresso takes me more than an hour

There are days I find myself absorbed in the comfort of the binding nature of family and friends

There are days in which I wish to not leave my house

There are days when I play with my little guy from the break of dawn until the sun meets it slumber 

I am blessed in all my days

Walking in Another's Shoes

 

 

While we all travel the path of life together, at times I am in awe by the mere fact that all lives are so very different in their fabric and make up. Each moment, each experience comes differently to all of us. 

This morning as I read the post of a dear friend I was reminded of the harsh reality of mankind as well as the amazing triumphs a positive soul makes when challenged to go beyond a harsh experience. When one's spirit is hurt deeply it can stir a wealth of doubt setting up road blocks in one's life. This post is a wonderful example of the heart and soul opening up and choosing to fly rather than concede; moving ahead rather than being stopped cold.  Focusing on the positive and wanting to change the negative is a goal we should all wish to attain.

Often from the outside looking in the paths of others may seem to be smooth, we may not or never know the challenges that paved the way to what we see before us. For just today I ask you to take a moment and think about walking in another's shoes, remove any pre-conceived notions you might have and open your heart to the beauty of mankind.  

She Sings

 

Quietly she enters the room and takes her place at the pianoforte. Those in her presence know the exquisite nature of her voice for when her words take flight all in her presence become mesmerized by the beauty and luster of the world around them. 

 
As her voice dances with the notes flowing from the instrument the hopes and wishes of all those taking in the beauty of the moment mingle. Dancing to the sky, intertwining with one another the moment is unlike any other. Like a pearl unique to itself her talent, her voice her beauty is unsurpassed. She Sings.

Faith

 Faith has to do with things that are not seen, and hope with things that are not in hand. Saint Thomas Acquinas. 
I find myself pondering a lot these days. My morning writing is evolving and my words reflect my hopes and wishes for our Little Man as well as the future as a whole. During my scribing I found myself thinking about the topic of faith and the fact that it often represents something entirely different to each of us. For some it is a religious centered belief and for others it might be a spiritual connection tied to the earth. In both instances I believe faith holds the hands of both hope and belief for it is when we carry all three that we succeed in passing on gifts to those in our lives and often times those we have never met. It is faith that guides me and a hope to do good for others that molds my thinking and actions.

 
With faith there comes a belief in something greater than what is happening in the moment we are living; a hope that others will journey with us, working with one another with the goal of greater tomorrows. The links of the future are built from the faith we carry in ourselves and in one another.

 
When we carry faith in our hearts for ourselves and others we can climb the highest mountains, face the most difficult challenges, cross the roughest terrain and guide our goals home. Out of these thoughts "Faith" was born a piece not tied to one stream of thinking but rather a symbol of what guides our hearts whatever our beliefs might be. As I await the rise of the sun I go forward with faith in my heart, hope in my soul and a belief that all things are possible when we work together for the greater good.
