Two steps forward looking back

AsideFebruary 4, 2022February 3, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper25 Comments

Is faith not memory and experience brought into the present moment? Not the blind nor religious kind – for this purpose, they are not important Faith, the reassurance that slowly builds in the mind I did not die that time, though my fear screamed that I would Perhaps should Something protected me Upheld and enfolded […]

The Gift of Life (and how to open it)

AsideJanuary 25, 2022January 25, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper19 Comments

Life sits like an unopened present An invisible box that I daily circumnavigate Never opening Never revealing I give it a little shake sometimes Wonder what’s inside Yet like the celebratory treat a loved one has hidden, kept in store for me I’m never quite sure what to make of it – or some days […]

Don’t waste your miracle on your pain

AsideJanuary 9, 2022January 9, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper20 Comments

This morning it is raining again The sea is whipped into frenzied foaming white capped horses that beat at the shore and trample everything in their path To enter the ocean is like walking into a stampede, and who would do that? Not me, I wander along the high ground looking out Relishing the soft […]

The Naughty and Nice List and how to know if you’re on it or not.

AsideDecember 20, 2021December 19, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper4 Comments

Have you ever had that moment where you are thinking about a person or a situation intensely, and then your perspective shifts and the whole floor of your internal conversation just drops away? Your argument is stolen on a puff of wind that exits the mid section, following what feels like a very real blow. […]

How to get your glow on

AsideDecember 18, 2021December 17, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper14 Comments

I was listening to a podcast today from The Life Coach School. I haven’t listened to Brooke for a long time. There was a time when I listened to her everyday for six months or so. She still makes a lot of sense. This morning Brooke was talking about how important it is to be […]

Weary Tunes

AsideDecember 16, 2021December 14, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper8 Comments

A tree sitting in the garden Locked into place Held by roots, it cannot escape And yet it changes Season cycles turn green to brown Faded leaves fall and flutter to the ground Snakes that expand and lose their skin Growing a new one they begin again A cliff face may take a thousand years […]

Explaining yourself

AsideDecember 15, 2021December 14, 2021 AthousandbitsofpaperLeave a comment

Simple is as simple does Such a simple thought and yet we love to convolute Expanding situations into troublesome affairs And wondering why no one understands that we just want simple Causing chaos and stirring up drama the interior turmoil spills over and burns someone who goes on to think we are an overly dramatic […]

Antihistamine (to the allergy of human reaction)

AsideDecember 14, 2021December 13, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper5 Comments

It began with an itch, that I unconsciously rubbed. By the time I got home, both my eyes were nearly swollen shut and the “itch” had become a full blown march across my raw eyes. Histamines from the grass, verdant and lush from recent rain, had tipped me into a full blown allergic reaction. The […]

Humpty Dumpty (why people can’t be put back together again by other people)

AsideDecember 13, 2021December 12, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper10 Comments

The egg is a casing, fine and fragile Inside there is life We see the outer membrane, white and hard Easily cracked – temper exploding And it reminds me The exterior is not all there is. A soul dwells deep within No soft fluffy chick, given But still, there lies within all of us, more […]

Creating Incremental and Lasting Change – The power of tiny

AsideDecember 9, 2021December 8, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper4 Comments

Is our obsession with consumption merely a symptom of our desire for change? After all, buying a new shirt is easier than giving up smoking, coffee, or any one of a dozen other things which people regularly attempt. Lasting change, at a character level, is difficult to achieve, and all the self help books in […]
