A glimmer

Under the covers I want to remain, sleeping and dreaming. A rhythmic cycle that would feel oh so good repeating. It’s tempting. I know I must rise, for the day and the occasion. Polishing steps for tomorrow’s humanitarian fundraising. Stepping up for others who’ve had their freedoms stolen. I know enough to know many have lost much more. Hopefully hatred and violence have not destroyed sanctums of hope. I know I must rise and join a dancing desert tribe, far removed from war and strife. Efforts not grand enough to swing war’s tide – this I know; however, I believe small steps taken in the Sonoran will travel the miles and touch a few lives.

Morning light dancing on the leaves is my encouragement to settle into the silence and find strength within.

My post, “Creative Steps,” first mentioned the dance fundraiser I will be participating in tomorrow as one of the teachers. An honor for me, not only to help others, but in anticipation of the smiles and shimmies I will surely see tomorrow. No doubt, tears too. The morning light that caught my attention and put a little (needed) pep in my step was amplified after reading the news of released hostages and made me consider how our fundraising efforts might help a few families. Small steps taken by many can make a difference, I believe.

Thanks for stopping by. Warm regards from the cooling southwest. Michele
