my inner edge on matters of wholeness home my book shelf my inner edges my inner edge on matters of wholeness feeds posts comments ways to waken me march 10 2015 by sandra wells reminders before dawn across the whole road as i pass i feel spiderwebs within people s voices under their words or woven into the pauses i hear a hidden sound one thin green light flashes over a smooth sea just as the sun goes down what roses lie on the altar of evening i inhale carefully to keep more of tasting all these and letting them have their ways to waken me i shiver and resolve in my life i will more than live

wells the way it is there s a thread you follow it goes among things that change but it doesn t change people wonder about what you are pursuing you have to explain about the thread but it is hard for others to see while you hold it you can t get lost tragedies happen people get hurt or die and you suffer and get old nothing you do can stop time s unfolding you don t ever let go of the thread

leave a comment you are all possibilities december 10 2014 by sandra wells it s been a quiet time over here at my inner edge i have been living in my own inner edge absorbed in work and life and celebrating the arrival of my new granddaughter hazel pomeline one season has dissolved into the next and the next and the next the leaves changing dropping bare trees against an early winter sky a recent adventure for me hanging out at story u working on my undeniable story fabulous challenging it s gotten me writing again the journey through my own backstory and story ing myself into my future reminds of this poem by david whyte mameen be infinitesimal under that sky a creature even the sailing hawk misses a wraith among the rocks where the mist parts slowly recall the way mere mortals are overwhelmed by circumstance how great reputations dissolve with infirmity and how you in particular stand a hairsbreadth from losing everyone you hold dear then look back down the path to the north the way you came as if seeing your entire past and then south over the hazy blue coast as if present to a broad future remember the way you are all possibilities you can see and how you live best as an appreciator of horizons whether you reach them or not admit that once you have got up from your chair and opened the door once you have walked out into the clean air toward that edge and taken the path up high beyond the ordinary you have become the privileged and the pilgrim the one who will tell the story and the one coming back from the mountain who helped to make it david whyte share this

walked through many lives some of them my own and i am not who i was though some principle of being abides from which i struggle not to stray when i look behind as i am compelled to look before i can gather strength to proceed on my journey i see the milestones dwindling toward the horizon and the slow fires trailing from the abandoned camp sites over which scavenger angels wheel on heavy wings oh i have made myself a tribe out of my true affections and my tribe is scattered how shall the heart be reconciled to its feast of losses in a rising wind the manic dust of my friends those who fell along the way bitterly stings my face yet i turn i turn exulting somewhat with my will intact to go wherever i need to go and every stone on the road precious to me in my darkest night when the moon was covered and i roamed through wreckage a nimbus clouded voice directed me live in the layers not on the litter though i lack the art to decipher it no doubt the next chapter in my book of transformations is already written i am not done with my changes stanley kunitz share this share on x opens in new window x email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on facebook opens

cannot fear i learn by going where i have to go we think by feeling what is there to know i hear my being dance from ear to ear i wake to sleep and take my waking slow of those so close beside me which are you god bless the ground i shall walk softly there and learn by going where i have to go light takes the tree but who can tell us how the lowly worm climbs up a winding stair i wake to sleep and take my waking slow great nature has another thing to do to you and me so take the lively air and lovely learn by going where to go this shaking keeps me steady i should know what falls away is always and is near i wake to sleep and take my waking slow i learn by going where i have to go theodore roethke may 2014 be a year of awakening and transformation wishing you all an abundance of

making the map of our furrowed tongue turned toward the root of a single word refusing solemnity and slogans let us honor what hides and does not come easy to speech the pebbles we hold in our mouths help us to practice song and we sing to the sea may the things of this world be preserved to us their beautiful secret vocabularies we are dreaming it over and new the language of our tribe music we hear we can only acknowledge may the naming powers be granted our words are feathers that fly on our breath let them go in a holy direction jeanne lohmann share this share on x opens in new window x

clear november 24 2013 by sandra wells for failure the will of color loves how light spreads through its diffusions making textures subtle clothing a landscape in concealment for color to keep its mysteries hidden from the unready eye but the light that comes after rain is always fierce and clear and illuminates the face of everything through the transparency of rain despite the initial darkening this is the light that failure casts beholden no more to the promise of what dream and work would bring it shows where roots have withered and where the source has gone dry the light of failure has no mercy on the affections of the heart it emerges from beyond the personal a wiry forthright light that likes to see crevices open in the shell of a controlled life though cruel now it serves a deeper kindness wise to the larger call of growth it invites us to humility and the painstaking work of acceptance so that one day we may look back in recognition and appreciation at the
