Reflections from the Heart

Bashful © Cynthia Gallo, 2012

In retrospect I am a deep thinker. So much so, there are times I have trouble shutting down my mind. Especially at night. I have tried journaling but never seem to be consistent enough to keep it going. And while I never considered myself a poet, I have my moments when the Spirit brings forth the creativity within my soul, and the feelings and words meld together.

Reflections of the Heart was written in such a moment when my heart was feeling a bit heavy with nostaglia.

Reflections of the Heart

Ephemeral thoughts
of days gone by
of stories not told
of lives not shared.

All shapes and sizes
like people
not always what we have done,
but what we have failed to do.

Unspoken words
a missed card
of a special moment in time.

The failing to share a beautiful moment
or an anticipation
or endearment
or celebration.

Without taking the initiative
think of the possibilities
or the enrichment
of making the connection
missed.

Then the moment is gone
and we feel the void
of what could of
if we would of.

And while the hands of the clock
move not backward
let not the lamentations
stop the pendulum of our hearts
from moving forward.

Standard Process Purification: The Takeaway

Saturday, September 4, 2021 Me this morning. Three weeks have passed since beginning the Standard Process Purification cleanse. Questions such as “How do I feel?”, “What do I notice?”, “Was it worth it?”, “Would I do it again?” and "Moving forward" are all questions to be reflected upon. I don’t know about you, but many generations just lived, ate seasonally, and didn’t pay much attention to the catchall words that we have today such as “organic” and “sustainable eating.” They already were!!!! Farmers worked hard, still do. Today our society has changed and many of us are stuck behind desks and are on the run so much that the food we eat and unhealthy habits we have formed have been problematic to our overall health, posture, spinal health, obesity, amongst others. There is more disease than ever before in this country, much which has been our own doing, but even more so, the culture and environmental factors around us contribute to dis-ease and our unnecessary stressful liv...

Simple Graces

How soothing the touch of the warm summer breeze against my cheek. As if a gentle kiss were planted on me. Up high, a bird sings a melodic tune, And although my eyes do not find him, My ears are glorified with his song of praise. Such simple graces bestowed upon me. A family of geese files in formation As they leave the grotto in a symmetrical dance. I watched the bee, painted in yellow and black, Savoring the nectar of a wildflower. So busy. So purposeful. Just simples graces. Then, I meet you in your splendor. Your delicate innocence surrounds you As you stop at the edge of the meadow Where the grasses meet the wood. Your nose quivers some as you try to determine your safety. You are aware you are not alone. I see your ears perk and your eyes gaze through the foliage. Then you proceed --- Oh! How gracefully you walk forward. As delicate as a flower, sweet grace. Yes, my sweet doe; That is what I will name you, For that is what you are. As you stop and l...

Wednesday- Day 19

A new day, a new month! September 1st. I really like the ring of that! 🍂 While I had a really good night sleep (only up once to use bathroom which is common and I typically always fall right back to sleep), I was glad I fell asleep shortly after getting into bed. One of the areas I noted was that this Purification has not helped in the sleep department. Since we don’t get home until after 5:30 (the work days are long) we don’t sit down to supper until at least 6:30. Then we need to wait at least 2 hours to go to bed which 9 pm works for us, especially when the goal is to be up by 4:30. Although I would like to be up by 4:15. However since Sunday night I’ve had to take melatonin as I just get into bed and then become awake and lie there. Just warmed not hot fresh milk sprinkle with nutmeg does the trick. I caved last night I have milk at. 8 o’clock no problem falling asleep as I typically do before yes. Well back to meals for the day! It was a whirlwind of a day too. Smoothie: 2T SP Pr...
