Reflections - 26

The sky lifts its under-belly of clouds and I can breathe again.

Reflections - 25

Mist closes in again; hiding the expanse of the sky, concealing the wide horizon, bearing down on me, smothering.

Reflections - 24

The relief of an unclouded sky and far horizons; now the mist has gone I can breathe deeply again and stand tall, revelling in the gentle Spring breeze.

Reflections - 23

An old lady smiled at me today; a beautiful, tooth-stained smile that lit up her eyes and made my heart expand with joy and warmth.

Reflections - 22

Finding the right kind of routine; not legalistic so I feel bad when I don't get things done but not lazy so that I don't produce anything. Rather, a liberty to write and be creative in balance with all the other things that have to be done.

Reflections - 21

Stillness, as the machine shuts down. Reveals; the ticking clock, the uneasy sound of central heating and the whir of the drier downstairs.

Reflections - 20

I don't need to grasp what I think I want; the things I need will be there at the right time.

Reflections - 19

Stilling my busy mind; learning to be, not to do. We are human beings after all, not human doings.

Reflections - 18

Letting it go; releasing the worries that grip me, setting free my desires for the future.

Reflections - 17

Focusing on one thing at a time; multi-tasking is over-rated and stressful.
