Dear Death,I don’t know how to begin with you.You are the shadow I dare not name too often,the visitor I hope comes late,the mystery I both fear and, strangely, respect.They say you are the end,but some say you’re a door.Some say you bring peace,others say you’re the thief in the night.All I know is this:your … Continue reading Le fin
Amor fati
Accepting What Is-- is my August focus word. It sounds passive, doesn’t it?Acceptance. Like surrendering the sword and sitting down. Like saying, “I give up.”But this month, I’ve been learning…it's not giving up.It’s giving in—to life, as it is.I chose “accepting what is” as my anchor word, not because I’m a spiritual person floating in … Continue reading Amor fati
The news
Today, I was handed a piece of news.Not good news. Not a bad one either. Just… news.My husband didn’t get the job. He will remain jobless for an uncertain amount of time. The kind of reality that used to stir anxiety, trigger spirals, shake the foundation.But tonight?Tonight I am calm. Strangely, disarmingly calm.I sat on … Continue reading The news
Meek
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."That was the verse I received at my church confirmation, some thirty years ago.I didn’t choose it—it chose me.

Eventually the whole boat will … Continue reading Incompetent
Rest

No mud No lotus
In the height of my worries tonight, that simple reminder came to me again: no mud, no lotus.This city has been baked in summer heat for nearly two weeks. Then suddenly—tonight—the rain came. Heavy rain. Not for long, but just enough. The smell of grass and trees rose up like a song, and I couldn’t … Continue reading No mud No lotus

Full Marathon
Maybe I'm delirious at the moment, but I'm thinking of trying a full marathon! 42,195 kilometers! It's insane! And for what exactly?! But... I'm thinking about it... Karin Sabrina
The moon
This stillness is not empty.It is full—Full of mystery, renewal, and soft power.I am not broken.I am becoming.I am returning to the ancient rhythm that lives in my blood,the song the moon still sings to me each month.Every ache, every pulse,is a drumbeat calling me inward,into deeper knowing,into sacred presence.At this moment, I release what … Continue reading The moon
