A pray and a pour….
I sing you bright eyes, fresh wings and grace full and flowing,
uncluttered days, an unhurried way
and brave forward going
(even if it’s slow)
May yours be unspoiled sleep and wide awake living,
a strong fire burning to chase away the chill,
company that doesn’t drain you,
adventure that doesn’t strain you,
dreams that don’t drive you,
freedom that doesn’t fail you,
and a childlike wonder,
strong and sparkling still.
I sing you fresh flowing River pouring mystic healing light
over every thirsty place inside
and wisdom
and protection,
provision
and direction
and the sweetest sort of peace a soul can know,
and may you carry the togethering of tribe
in that place deep inside
as along the way, wholehearted,
we go.
It is the source of all true art and science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”
-Albert Einstein Hey, I finally dived into Instagram a few weeks ago and, wow, do I love it!
Such a wonderland:)
Come hang out with me there, if you like.

Wow Jennifer, your blog is like a spa for the weary soul. All those outpouring of good wishes and blessings fills my empty spaces with balmy essence of life. It’s like someone turned on the light when the sun wents down.
Happy blessings to you dear friend.
Hugs,
JB

Your poetry makes my heart sing in my chest. It is so full of love. I’m just feeling incredibly grateful to have found you so that I can be a part of what you have created here. What good luck. “I sing you bright eyes…” Geez Jennifer, that is a treasure. Anyway, may you have a very good time with your family and friends at Thanksgiving. I will count you among my blessings. Love, Susie

Jenn, I just realized (especially after reading Julia’s post) that some of your readers may appreciate this link from my latest blog post: http://www.life-change-compost.com/sustainable-farming-elissas-place/
The only reason I share it is that it speaks of the challenge of the careful raising on an animal for food and what a responsibility it is to take that animal. Your readers will LOVE Elissa and her Border Collies! I hope it’s okay to share this…it is worth it. (Wait to get past the opening 30 seconds of a recipe for lamb!) Susie
I loved that article. such a noble and beautiful thing.
-Jen
“Wide awake living”…so simple, yet so profound! Beautiful post!
What a wonderful prayer/song — especially at this time of year. We give thanks for so many things and one is you — I so appreciate how you tell your story, sing your song. This is simply beautiful. (And so are the pansies!)
I appreciate your kind words.
So very much:)
love and thanks,
Jennifer
Thank you for all this and for being a part of my tribe.
I’m trying to learn more about Instagram because so many of that said tribe are hanging out there … I’ll let you know how it goes, me being one of the only ones without a cell/smart phone!
I thought for the longest time it wouldn’t be worth the hassle
(as new, techy things are always a hassle at first)
but I find a lot of joy there.
No rushes, ever, to either of us.
We’re just fine as along we go:)

Without a cell phone it makes it hard to use Instagram. I am there but until I replace my ipod, I won’t be using it…so maybe I will see you there soon with my precious pansies I miss warming ourselves around a warm fire.
Yes, it’s impossible, I think.
It took me a long while to work up the have-a-go to do it.
Wishing you unexpected warm fires in surprising places:)
-Jennifer
