Sweet Breath of Twilight

In deep darkness, as the birds still slumber, I hear the wind begin to stir.

Cool night air and wind play together with fallen leaves, tossing them up, around, and down.

Atmosphere, clearly enjoys the bright sheen of Stars’ glorious light.

Freshness and mystery abound.

Earth sighs.

Deep speaks to Deep, as soul and Spirit commune in this rare and quiet moment before the awakening Sun brings with her.

Alone with Twilight, I hear the Voice of God. The quiet, unmistakable voice of Love speaks in Twilight’s sweet breath.

I listen as leaves skitter by.

I hear, before the Wide-awake-of-our-weary-World.

I hear.

I write to soothe my soul. I empty my words onto napkins, scraps of paper, receipts... anything really. When I was very young my mom told me to stop writing on my hand. I never did. I write on it to this day. I’ve lost so many scraps of Self on soggy napkins; I’ve yet to lose my hand. The words I scribble there may wash off, but since they are inscribed in my soul, once they are released, from heart to hand, I am allowed to let them go.
