This Spring Morning, I Pause and Reflect

Fellow Spiritual Journey Friends,

On this spring morning, I know it is the moment to "Make Time", to pause and reflect on my spiritual journey. There is one word that has guided me since the beginning of 2026.

Since New Year 2026, I travel the spiritual journey path with thoughts on my one word, restore, and a song, Restore My Soul, that reminds me to find my way. 

Seasons of Restoration
one word floats
like snowflakes'
rhythmic flight
                                         WINTER FLIGHT 
chilled winds blow
earth freezes
tears hold grief
                                      BEREAVEMENT
awaken
from winter's
loneliness
                                  TRANSITION
spring's bounty
revives life
in chaos
                                                   GRIEF COUNSELING BEGINS
despite rain
hope opens
new fountains
                                 MID-SPRING
music soothes
lifts grief's weight
sings with birds
                                        SPRINGTIME WISH
hope swirls while
gardens bloom
life brightens
                                        MAY REFRESMENT
grace, peace, and 
memories
opens paths
                              MAY DAYS
summer wish
make time to
reflect, pause
                                               SUMMER BREEZES APPEAR
lead me on
find new paths
summer smiles
                           ONWARD

Click here to listen to the song "Garden of Grace".

For a year, I passed through seasons of change. I listened to earth's movements, managed the walk (even after I fractured my foot last October), broke down as tensions stormed through life, grieved, held on to faith, and prayed in silence, noting that changes needed to unfold.

Where am I now?
I am ready to mingle, not be frightened by grief, and continue my spiritual journey. There is more to come, I am sure but for now, I feel the power of faith while holding on to hope.
