moments of grace

[i don't know what week it is in my moments of grace journal anymore

and i don't care]

it's not important to keep track of how many weeks or photos or things

i am grateful for

it's just important to be grateful

yesterday i took myself on a date

an artist's date

anyone who's read Julia Cameron's seminal work 'the Artist's Way' 

knows exactly what that is and why it is important

i went to a nearby park

and photographed historic buildings

and some glorious flowers

for about three hours

i am grateful for the time and opportunity to do that

to indulge in the hot sunshine

the birds singing

the flowers bloming

the whisper of history in the setting

[i really want to learn more about this place

and what they plan to do with all those empty old buildings]

i am grateful for breath and life

and love and memories

and i am grateful that the deep revelations i had this week and weekend

have already changed me enough

that i have let go of more anger and pain.

enough to be truly thankful for it ALL.

 

i am grateful for healing...
