The Gift




Leaning into the winds of change, my balance threatens to be lost. But no, it is a threat without a promise. My promise is the gift of my 


own balance causing me to step back, to breathe deeply and know that I am here, now, not flying about in the tornado of chaos like an old chair, or roof torn from a barn. 


Here all is quiet and good, even the glittering 

snow that fills cracks and crevices everywhere. 

Today I lean into my own home, and make plans for tomorrow and tomorrow; grateful for all that I have and all that I am.


“I know myself a mortal, and my share in what 

the morrow brings not more than thine.”

~ Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus
