All we need is
A Window
To let in
A patch of sky
A big Heart
To let go
Scratches
Tagged to this life
A little Fire
To keep the wheels
Of the days
Moving
A teeny tiny
My space
To read and write
And not to forget
The Shrine
To talk to God
In the calm and stormy night

Love the wise words of living a simple life, filled with The Shrine and grateful heart ~
ReplyDeleteThere certainly are little guides to make things move the way one desires. It has a way of making it happen!

So very true, Sumana. We really need so very little; but we need sometimes to stop and appreciate our view of the vast, vast sky above!
ReplyDeleteAll we need......love the simplicity of this......especially like the idea of a little patch of sky and.....scratches!
ReplyDeleteYears and years ago when we lived in Iowa, there was a football coach who came to Iowa from Oklahoma I believe. Hayden Fry. One of his favorite saying was "scratch where it itches" and football fans (and there were many of them because this was a major university and in the Big 10 conference) wore buttons in Iowa colors (black and gold) with one word on them: "SCRATCH"
Thanks for the memories! :)
How to live a simple life simply said. Thanks for the reminder.

I often wonder how easy it is to clog up life when simple things are definitely what makes me happiest. You outlineed those so well!
ReplyDeleteI think this is so wise... the simplicity of life I find in a cabin with food and fire... how everything's reduced to here and now, and what I carry on the back is all that I need..

So many simple truths but delivered so gracefully...a very comforting poem...I love the closing...remembering to share both the calm and the storm with God. Thank you.
