Stay Awake
Stay Awake
…Advent begins—
they call it a season of
waiting~~~ or AWAITING
what has and is already
‘in‘ the world.
In ‘many’ ways my spirit
takes in ‘all’ the
chaos—
not with the busy-ness of
shopping, gift-giving,
rushing here and there—
BUT, rather in the
unexpected…
‘Seeing’ the
fragility of Life—
…a beautiful
mind losing itself
and holding on
in the aging
journey
…a sturdy
companion NOW
holding on ‘for’
a support to
carry her
mighty trunk
and still she
stands with
GRACE.
My being
‘observes’ while I
try my utmost to comfort,
to care.
Still, in this
waiting, I look without
realizing a ‘preparing’ taking place…
So thief, if you are to come,
you can take anything from the dwelling
of my sturdy shelter, BUT you cannot
take the treasure that dwells in the stillness
of my heart in the HOLY moment(s) of
waiting, wonder and awe.

Thank you for this beautiful picture. To me it resonate in a calm way the kidneys.
They become easily “stressed” if we look at Christmas preparation-lists with an : “I MUST do …..” attitude. So I will imprint your drawing in my kidneys every day in December – and think of you with gratefulness.
Love and blessings for your day

Oh Sandy, I hear you here. I see you and all you are doing this season and just know, your voice speaks clearly in this poem. Please take in and also send my love to you and all you are doing daily…awaiting. I am also, in this Advent, awaiting…all that is and all that is to be. All my love, S

What a lift to my sturdy trunk that struggles. I’ll carry the image of holding on with grace during this advent season,

I am touched to the core by your words. Thank you
what an AWESOME!!! poem, to be sharing this time of year, to capture the true beauty, of the reason for the season. People put to much into materialistic things this time of year, when truly if we just keep quiet, when can then know what it is truly about….much love and many prayers, Mary
