Sometimes the great bones of my life feel so heavy,

and all the tricks my body knows –

the opposable thumbs, the kneecaps,

and the mind clicking and clicking –

don’t seem enough to carry me through this world

and I think how I would like

to have wings –

blue ones –

ribbons of flame.

How I would like to open them and rise

from the black rain water.

~Mary Oliver

where the simple ideas lie with kindness….

inquiry for today~ yes, just for you…..

care of the mood…..

There is a voice inside you. There is a voice inside everyone.

Whether you hear it or not, the voice is there.

Whether you acknowledge it or not, the voice is there.

Whether you ask for help or ignore its guidance, the voice is there.

Waiting. It is waiting for you to stop, if just a moment, and listen.

The voice is always there, guiding and encouraging you, loving you.

Pick up your pen and separate the thin wall of consciousness

that keeps you apart.

Once you start asking for more you will start receiving more;

more ideas, more intuition, more inspiration, more wisdom, more opportunities,

more challenges, and more questions.

Always, there are more questions.

The answers live deep inside the questions.

~Janet Conner
