No problems tug at
my mind, no worries trouble
my heart, but I know,
given half a chance, my mind
will begin stirring stuff up.

Whoa!
Knowing where that thought
will take me, I pause, breathe, and
carefully dismount.

Taming Of The Wild
Black-eyed Susans
Buttercups

Each year their untamed beauty
tames my wild heart.

From Mess to Management
When we land ourselves
in a great big mess, what if
we grab the chance to
learn the skill of the artful
reframe? We could come
to see great big messes as
on-the-job training
in that much sought after strength –
anxiety management.

Sun-struck
Even as clouds start
to darken, sun-struck trees shine
with the shimmer of
promise. When the storm has passed
they’ll embrace sun’s light again.

Pushing Up Daisies?
How to still the mind
when it’s convinced this mountain
must be climbed or this
problem pondered lest it be
seen as pushing up daisies?

Bird Wise
Before and after
sudden summer storms they sing,
showering us with
melody, showing us how
to cope with shifting weather.
