the rhythm of this day




Monday

is a quiet day

a day for keeping our words close

and our ears, hearts, and minds open.



Mondays are for cleaning in the bedroom

washing the linens, and dusting the old wooden bureaus

putting away clothing hung over a chair



Monday is making soup day

 practicing humility and grace and compassion day




I rise early, ready to start the week.

I light a purple candle

fill my home with the scent of jasmine.





In quietude and calm I go about my morning tasks

In peace I begin my day.

  2. And as we brace ourselves for the blizzard that's predicted, this will be a day inside, and your peaceful words make me feel just a little bit happier about that!

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
