The girl’s were getting together to “dish the dirt“
I thought they would be planting seeds or something.
They were.
They were gossiping…seeds of ‘dirt’about another Soul.
When day is done they put our ashes in dirt.
We cleanse our Soul to release the dirt.
We pray.
Do our step work and take the dirt
To our sponsor and release to our Higher [...]

I found a smile on my pillow.
This morning, I found a smile on my pillow.
I was positive I would not smile again.
Then the gratitude of your love nudged me awake.
I began my day with a bountiful heart
Filled with the memories of your loving ways.
All the distance between us was gone.
I embraced your kind Spirit.
I cuddled [...]

Well, all the snow that could possibly be
Is swirling around in the storm.
Interesting manifestation after the celebration

Your passing was the Celebration of Life
You had always planned.
Your beautiful photo hangs on my wall.
I talk to you often.
I hear you Rejoice.
You are home with the Master.
You have found your new Voice.
Your [...]

The phone call came one week ago.
Mother had gone.
We all would show
her our love
our devotion
our love for each other.
We will miss you, our beloved Mother.
The arrangements were lovely.
Most of the family came.
We were all on our best behaviours
We loved in your name.
Your dearest sister, the last of the clan
Reached out to all of us
As [...]

I have surrendered all that I am
To the great I am.
That is the only way
I know
How to make it
through today.
Today, it the beginning of a journey
I never ever wanted to make.
A day without you.
A day without the family surrounding each other.
A day that alternately swoops over me.
A day that sustains me.
A windy cold day [...]
