Trust is daring to believe....

that the light inside you needs a chance to shine bright.

for your consideration

I wonder, do people really know how to be alone? There's plenty solitary activities to fill time and space...but being really and truly alone takes practice. No television creating background static. No music. No cleverly crafted words to read in books. No phones. Certainly no e-mail. Just peaceful reflection. Meditation even. A true understanding of your thoughts, desires and hopes.

Here are some things I have thought about while sitting still this morning.

Sitting still is hard. I find myself fidgety. I guess this takes practice. Clearing my mind is even harder. I think if I wrote more of my thoughts down...it might help.

that time

moving on
dancing in the light
a bit of green
opening hearts

un morceau de chocolat

My thoughts have been reduced to coffee and croissants this morning. Neither of which I will allow to touch my lips. Primarily because I don't have access to a good bakery around here...and really, why waste the calories if it ain't gonna be that good? However, at this moment, I can really think of nothing nicer than biting into chocolaty goodness surrounded by layers of buttery, flaky pastry.

It has been about a week since I have decided to escape coffee's caffinated chains in the hopes of reaching some sort of clarity with my body. Extending that olive branch hasn't been easy...especially in the mornings, but those episodes of afternoon, caffiene induced hypoglycemia have kept me strong in my comittment.

In other news, days when I lack culinary inspiration...I turn to this blog, which is one of my favorites:
