Meandering
We grow unexpectedly
Richer
Oregano and Sage
Tag: travel
Coming and Going
All anticipation and no remorse
I travel in high hopes above the clouds
I touched the ocean, tasted the salty air
Sand in shoes and socks
Eyes full of glory
Under the twisted oak branches
I walked rugged trails and well groomed paths
Delight in repast
The sky mutable showed all of its wonders
Sunny blue skies, peppery clouds, fog and snow
Gone like the wind I mounted
Another flight back to the unknown
The improbable waiting for me
The impossible home
I drink deeply from this cup
My life
I wander in wonder
Building a world from dreaming
Insight
A settling, a nesting, a refreshing
Time out
Two more heartbeats
A chime, a charm, a chill
To time in
New Episode of Wendy Says Things is Out Now
I’m talking about creativity, vulnerability, and living a fully realized creative life on this episode of Wendy Says Things!
Give it a listen, hit that like button, and share far and wide.
Thank you so much for supporting me, and for being patient while I’ve been settling into a new life after moving!
Listen Here!
Unsettled
The great winnowing of possessions
Releasing the unnecessary
Shredding the past
Carefully boxing up the essential
Giving, giving, giving
Each load that goes
A bit more freedom gained
The road calls strongly
“Are you coming?
Are you on the way?”
Well, I’m going somewhere
Similar to a place I’ve been
Time adjacent
The stream has run the long course
The years have changed me
I will step into the water
Remembering the stream that was
And the young woman who grew there
I bring the world with me
All that I’ve seen since then
Molded by travel and children and joy
Reduced by loss and loneliness and pain
A life changing movement
A life changing moment
A new start
A fresh beginning
“I can be flexible”
I said
And made it so
“I don’t have the confidence for this”
I confided
And yet it arrived with that acknowledgement
Not the brash bravado I used to wear
A committed determination
All I can ask of myself today
Is to show up for this life
To risk, and to try
I am not alone in this
I am loved
I am loved truly and fiercely
“Let me know if there’s anything I can do”
There is room for me
In this world
That for so long I felt
Held no space for me
I will step into the water
And let it cool my feet
From the heat of travel
And rest a moment
As the sun filters down through the trees
