On Sunday mornings she made blueberry muffins. My job was to rinse the blue jewels, pour them in, and she would fold them so carefully. I made some this last Sunday, rinsing and carefully folding, but just before pouring the batter into the tin, I added some lemon juice, a whim, really, slid them intoContinue reading “Half-circle Sundays”

Lessons
Resting in the blessings of today, staying present even in an uncomfortable season, accepting life as is with all the drama, balancing the pain with the joy that radiates in our hearts when we allow peace to be our sounding board, reverberating back lessons of love that walk with us into the unknowns that mayContinue reading “Lessons”
Lingering
I hope for a lingering day, moments stretching long and leaning into the warmth of a slow rising sun that decides to amble across the sky, a casual stroll before allowing the full moon to rise, the evening embracing us in twilight’s dreamy lilac and amber glow, and the moment, a holding breath, leading upContinue reading “Lingering”
Breathing Rhythm
They lean in, nestled down in thicket meant to protect; you would miss them, walk right past them, if not attentive, to these gentle creatures who pause and wonder why we rush past when we are meant to linger, to sway like trees, to lean in like deer, to stay in the shaded pathway andContinue reading “Breathing Rhythm”
A Promise
The clouds held dirt from yesterday, dimming the blue to a dingy gray that met me after the sun rose somewhere behind the murkiness, but my eyes fell on the blooming pear tree, the simple, life-lit green, white cups holding a spray of pink, a promise, a budding of spring. —C.L.

Clouds

Famished
The bare limbs reached, slender arms with bony fingers open, waiting, hungry for the feast of spring. —C. L. Fisher, March 2021 Unless otherwise indicated, all content, including writing and images, are the work of C.L. Fisher and may not be copied, used, or distributed without permission.
Vision
She walked by a tiny field of flowers so many others had dismissed as a mess of weeds, gathered sunshine in her pockets, found sanctuary in the company of trees, and she was humbled by God’s reminder to have a teachable spirit, to cultivate a grateful heart, and appreciate eyes able to see this goodContinue reading “Vision”
