If it weren’t for
the rocks in its bed,
the stream
would have no song.
Listen for the sweet songs
amidst the rocky stream
that is this journey of life,
and keep singing.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Reflecting…
Geneva on the Lake, OH – Rocks at Sunset – Summer 2016
Reflecting on the day
And contemplating life
A kaleidoscope of color
Evoking variegated memories
Discovering along the way
Acquiescent acceptance
Sometimes distancing ourselves
to ultimately save ourselves
Healing comes in waves
Crashing, splashing, breaking
Sometimes hitting the rocks
Other times reflecting the light
Remembering to pause
Remembering to cherish
Time spent reflecting
Time spent sharing
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
More AND Less
Thoughts at dusk while riding home from a celebration of life service for a young girl whose life was cut short much too soon…
More presence –
Less distraction.
More compassion –
Less indifference.
More generosity –
Less accumulation.
More tolerance –
Less narrow-mindedness.
More kindness –
Less cruelty.
More love –
Less hate.
Cherish the moments!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
