Through Stained Glass: A Mid-Week Reflection-Super

Super

Behind me, to the north, the bells chyme.

An indication that the sun has set.

The big hand and the little hand for a straight line, 6:00 PM.

There were tasks completed.

Some tasks were left undone.

...

And that is okay.

We can't get to everything.  No matter how hard we try.

Despite what you may think,

you aren't super-woman.

And you aren't super-man.

...

So breathe in the weekend.

A week complete, days off to enjoy.

Festivities with friends await.

Find that slower pace.  Walk with it with a sweet embrace.

You need it.  Welcome the rest.  Live into its invitation.

...

Watch a leaf fall.

Notice the season changing.

Feel the breeze become more crisp.

Hear autumn whisper her goodbye.

Drink hot cider by a fire.

...

Have fun with the chores you have in store.

Rake the leaves that will fall for the next week.

Then, jump in them.

Be a kid, the one who is inside you.

Lie on your back, see the white clouds the sky, so blue.

...

You are radiant, like the leaves.

You are strong, like the trees.

You are beautiful, like autumn.

You are loved, like words to a poem.

You are enough.

...

To the south migration happens.

Prepare your heart for its own patterns.

Sit with yourself a while.

Then, friend, smile.  In the end, all will be well.

You, tonight, now, are exactly, where you need to be.

...

The half hour bells chyme.

The day moves on.

The darkness casts its shadow wider.

The colors disappear into the night.

Wisdom knocks on your door.  She is rest.
