ASPIRATION

ASPIRATION

Hunter, Carly, Stephanie, Megan, Kelly, Heather, Friends of Guest House, July 23, 2020

May you never

                let anyone dull your light.

May your mind be at ease

                Clear from distractions that used to ground you.

May you allow yourself to humble.

May you listen to your longing

                And fight to give yourself what you covet.

May you know that Love is alive in you.

We have a bonus for you – our friends at the nonprofit Quintango took this work of art and set it to music. It’s inspiring, breathtaking, and only 2 minutes long. Take a listen:

Be inspired

                by the flame

but set your own fires.

The path that I have chosen

                could be the answer.

I am far from over.

My future holds no bounds.

The small things seem large.

Having faith

                is what gives me life.

today I am stronger,

                Smarter, a survivor.

Rainbow Bird

Love this story about “Rainbow Bird” created by one of our Friends of Guest House clients!

All of the birds were mean to Rainbow Bird, but Rainbow Bird was kind and helped them when they needed food. We can all learn from this very short story.

Divine Light

Divine Light

I stare at her reflection.

Caught in the spark of spirit twinkling in her eyes.

The skin sags, the smile twists, but the eyes… The eyes shine with the soul within.

Windows to an innocent heart.

My very own piece of divine light.

Dreams

Dreams

Dreams, fantasies dancing in the dark.

Puzzles piecing together in my consciousness.

Bitter memories flowing into sweet lessons.

Building blocks for a sounder morning.

Dark past translating into tomorrow’s take to be told.
