NaPoWriMo 2026 – Day 1

Stillness. Silence. Reflection.

In these moments, I reconnect with what my body already knows – each heartbeat, each breath, each subtle movement. Sensations I had long forgotten rise to awareness, reminding me of what it means to truly feel.

The #RiverHeronReview poetry prompt (body centred), inspired by Lauren Wright’s photography, became more than an exercise – a meditative journey, a gentle healing process.

Through words, movement, and attention, I found a rhythm that carries me back to home, to presence, to self.

Listening to the Turning

My Scribbles and Glimmers 

Sitting with reflection as one year moves into another, I turn to nature for answers and am reminded that it is continuity I honour.

Endings and beginnings move like currents in the ocean of the living and the imagined world, quiet expressions of an underlying law shaped by the greatest force of energy. 

When the illusion breaks, and we awaken from the mind-woven dreams of reality, we return to the patterns we have always followed, offered another chance to undo, to rewire, and to shape a version of ourselves that feels aligned and more deeply understood.

Some pauses take longer than we expect. I carry deep gratitude for all the motivating reads, and the patient support through the years. 

Season’s Greetings, as the year turns.πŸŽ‰πŸ’•
