light in the soul

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, tonight holds the fall equinox, that moment when the sun shines directly above the equator of the earth, and our days will soon begin to hold more dark hours than light. I am thinking also of friends in the Southern Hemisphere as they mark the spring equinox and the beginning of days that hold more light than dark. Wherever in this world we are, may we know the light in which we are always held, and may we carry this for one another. On this day, this blessing is for you.

When the lines

of your life

fall heavy and dark,

when the layers

lie tangled and frayed

and every story

seems a scar

written sore

upon you,

then may you

know yourself

held in that light

that gives every line

back to you,

inscribed in the love

that has always

been traced across

your luminous heart.

~Jan Richardson

considering all the ways the heart can open…

inquiry for today~ wonderment is your north star…

when it’s time for reckoning…

Don’t disparage the day that still has an hour of light in its hand.

~Chinuba Ashebe
