abundance~

“There are times to cultivate and create,

 when you nurture your world and

give birth to new ideas and ventures.

There are times of flourishing and abundance,

when life feels in full bloom, energized and expanding.

And there are times of fruition,

when things come to an end.

They have reached their climax

 and must be harvested before they begin to fade.

And finally of course, there are times that are cold,

and cutting and empty,

times when the spring of new beginnings

seems like a distant dream.

Those rhythms in life are natural events.

 They weave into one another as day follows night,

 bringing, not messages of hope and fear,

but messages of how things are.”

ABUNDANCE

 A great or plentiful amount

 Fullness to overflowing

this is what i am feeling as of late

ABUNDANCE

“The test of our progress

 is not whether we add to the abundance

of those who have much.

It is whether we provide enough

 to those who have little.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

ABUNDANCE

this little word

rich

nourishing

plentiful

ripe

full

filled within it

such depth

meaning

i am feeling abundantly blessed

these

pears

that i am sharing

were gifted from a neighbor

she has tended to them all year

she asked that we come help her pick the fruits of her labor

a basket full in return

an

ABUNDANCE

 of fruit came home with us

“Abundance doesn't follow giving

until giving becomes its own reward.”

Jan Denise

i am seeing more and more present this day

as we give of ourselves

no string attached

nothing expected in return

giving

simply

giving to others

because we want to

nothing more

ABUNDANCE

keeps knocking at our door



unexpected

welcomed little blessings coming to be

ABUNDANCE

ABUNDANCE

filling our life

full

overflowing

“As we become curators

 of our own contentment

on the Simple Abundance path...

we learn to savor the small with a grateful heart.”

Sarah Ban Breathnach



a ramble of words this day...

 

i sense

ABUNDANCE

 present each day

 

ABUNDANCE

is everywhere

i turn

 

when i look around our home

it is a plentiful array

within these doors

theres all so much

 

as

ABUNDANCE

comes

so shall it go

 

two days past this november

i am trying to let go some more

clearing my way

tidying my home

cleansing our santuary

that we call home

 

ABUNDANCE

 

it is not of

THINGS

in my life

 

ABUNDANCE

 

is in the wealth of what i call family

friends i have come to know

hearing laughter ring through our doors

sharing moments that fill my heart

 

ABUNDANCE

 

is of so many great things

 

some miss the

 

ABUNDANCE

 

that already is

for they closed their eyes

narrow their mind

only wanting that pricey gift they can behold

 

missing the

ABUNDANCE

that they already have

 

open your hands this morning

let

ABUNDANCE

come to be

 

let it sit upon your fingers

dwell within your mind

let it run through your veins

and shower your spirit with such

 

as it is present with me

i know it also is with you

 

ABUNDANCE

 

to each of you this day and always

may you forever be blessed

and feel

ABUNDANCE

present throughout
