winter is closing in soon by Gunnar Gestur on Flickr
Find a moment of magic
where the air
meets the sky;
where the light
holds back darkness
and the sun
twirls a ribbon
to the frost
swimming by.
Find a moment of magic;
breathe a lungful
of peace.
Brace your heart
with warm knowing:
There will be light on
all winter
standing sentry
till spring.
Find a place of beauty
Find a place of glow
Fill your heart with all that lives
Be soothed to breathe, to know, to flow …
(Na’ama Yehuda)
Today,
Let your heart
Melt away
With sweetness …
Soft beginnings
Filled with
Love’s potential
Miracles at play
And so
Melt away
With tenderness
Today …
Today, find a way.
Even hardship, worry, ill-at-ease;
Stir and shift away with breeze.
Today, find a way.
Seize a moment, hold a notion
Breathe in light, glimpse emotion
Grasp a smile.
For a while.
And the way, for today, will stop by.

Open a door to imagination.
Re-visit forgotten times of untethered awe still left of childhood. Do not worry–your spirit does and always knew exactly how. Just go.
Open a door to imagination.
Let what isn’t, could not, would not be–become. In your mind’s eye, make reality.
Open a door to imagination. Fret not. You can’t get lost. You are already home.
Think of wonder. Fathom fairies. Fly aboard an eagle. Cradle soft onto the foaming sea. There are no rules to conjuring. No timeline. No bonds of gravity, age, physics. Relativity folds time onto itself. Explore.
Open wide the door.
For a moment or an hour. For a blink or afternoon, reshape yourself along the creases you never saw were possible new vistas. Find magic in the corners of your heart. It is there. It never left.
Open a door to imagination.
Breathe in light. Discover open spaces beyond air, beyond even what you believed could be imagined. Understand. Expand.
There are worlds out there. Awaiting your inspiration.
And more doors await. Beyond. Right here. Keen to open. You.
To imagination.
Na’ama Yehuda
You cannot fight hate and violence with more hate and violence, any more than you can conquer darkness with more darkness. Adding darkness only increases blackness. To subtract shadow, add light.

Life rushes by.
Essential tasks tick looming.
Hardly a single second left to breathe …
Slow down … take heed …
Even in the midst of chaos,
the heavy endless canyons of dark asphalt,
and sky-high gray concrete,
even in the angry honking of a thousand yellow taxis,
in the press of harried people on the streets,
in the tasks that frustrate waiting,
in the overwhelming wish for time and needs–
Pause now.
Find perspective.
Take a moment.
Change your point of view to rise above
and slow the moment’s speed.
It’s there. Believe.
Even in the concrete jungle
There’s a wide green lung
Awaiting, present; a potential reprieve
A slower pace
A gentler space
Reminding you to pause and breathe …
