Shine

Long ago,

before You became,

You were a Divine spark

filled with the promises

and carrying the hopes and pain

of all that came before You.

Each Moment of Your history

strung together in multicolored lights:

Some glowed and twinkled,

others flickered valiantly

still others died husks with brittle insides.

And still You shone.

Then others wrapped around you.

Some choked You as they coiled,

Others wrapped You in warmth

and filled Your spaces with Light.

For Light always cancels dark.

And still you Shine.

I don't live at the end of the world but you can see it from here! The population is twenty including the livestock and my nightlife usually consists of being curled up with a good book. I love to travel, love long walks on beaches, and a good glass of wine with challenging conversation. I started this blog as a way of sharing my gratitude for my life and for myself. It's starting to evolve as I reflect on the work I do with others. Creating community is a challenge for all of us and as the world changes those growing pains have caused me to reflect on the things we all do and don't do to create community and distance between us. Navigating the space between us is our biggest challenge and our most important one. I'm a prolific reader, love to write, published all sorts of non fiction and even submitted a novel for publishing. Stand by if I can find a publisher but it looks promising. A mother of two grown boys and the wife of a game warden I have cooled my butt on every bleacher in the region and nursed everything from calf moose to wolf cubs. My life is an interesting blend of the miraculous and mundane.
