Quiet in my bones

AsideMarch 19, 2022March 18, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper7 Comments

The house is quiet, it seems to be deep breathing Or perhaps that is just me Listening to the odd tick of the iron releasing pressure on the roof I glance to my dog and even though his eyes are shut, he feels my attention and bounces his tail Energy moves, a ghostly handprint on […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Why not?

AsideDecember 5, 2021December 4, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper13 Comments

How will it find me? And when? Will it find me in nature? I hope so. Striking me gently, so I fall into the grass, lying prone in the shade of some enormous hill that I have just climbed. I hope they never find me. I will just melt, becoming part of a mountain somewhere. […]

Rosetta Stone

AsideDecember 4, 2021December 4, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper4 Comments

A dozen different images are flashing through my head To try and make sense of them I pick up my pen Breathing slows As concentration flows Silently I’m deciphering The hieroglyphs of my soul *we pay so much attention to the brain. It’s most brilliant function is as a problem solver. It loves a riddle […]

String Instruments

AsideNovember 29, 2021December 3, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper3 Comments

Hot air, blown into balloons Holding threads, I grip them tightly The winds of change cause them to jostle Rubber has the oddest sound A screech and groan I lift off my toes And I am flying The wind at least has a purpose But it blows in all directions The person who clings to […]

Choosing powerfully

AsideNovember 13, 2021November 12, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper9 Comments

When Winifred Gallagher was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive cancer, she decided not to let the diagnosis, or the disease take over her life. Instead, Winifred began what would become a powerful practice. Focusing her attention on the good things she experienced throughout the day and tolerating – but not paying the cancer (and its […]

Self esteem vs Soul esteem

AsideOctober 22, 2019October 22, 2019 Athousandbitsofpaper8 Comments

Isn’t high self esteem just armour created by the ego to defend itself? If so – what is a worthier goal?
