And in the darkest of days
A flower doth bloom
Red with the blood of my beating heart
Red of the fire hot enough to forge anew

and what
I remember best is that
the door to your room was
the door to mine

Peppermint chocolate
Woodstove blazing
Tree lights twinkling
Sweet treats baking
A recipe for new year's eve

Happy New year @cascadiabound !
I wish you peace and solid footing this year, and to know how much you are loved, by so many.

 

[cascadiabound]

Sometimes the most important thing is simply to be present
In the work of my life, compassion, presence, genuine listening and service to others in their need twine together in ever changing proportions
These moments may be fleeting
Impossible to know the precise effect
Or even if these minstrations are remembered

It matters not.
It is the doing that is felt... a kind voice soothes
Holding a hand at the bedside
Small comfort measures
these count
Pain, dementia, madness, coma
The spirit knows
The soul can feel

Just do the next right thing
love is always enough
