Learn from your mistakes
Stand up, smarter and wiser
Springtime approaches
The powerful thing one can do when facing mistakes is to taste a moment and absorb the learning. Let that mine in to your core, change you, make you wiser. That’s the kernel of humility.
I got in a few evening walks this week. My mind fills with thoughts and inspiration. They’re deeply valuable to me.
My body’s motion
As I move into twilight
Sky’s colors delight
How do I relearn
To dream boldly
To reach for the stars?
First look skyward
In the night’s sky
Gaze upon Orion’s belt
One can’t reach
What one cannot see.
Vision creates
Boldness
As I look forwards
Inspired for the future
I’m embracing hope
Uninspiration
Dryness of my soul
Seeps downwards
Deep within, then
Gently tapping upon
My roof, winter rain.
Roots healed and
Life returns.
