Introduction to Daily Balm Monthly Collection for June 2021
“To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to the violence of our times.”― Thomas Merton
In our world, crammed with information and activity, you may feel the need for some respite. I created the Daily Balm messages to flow soothing energy and kindness into your daily round and they are now in a monthly collection for June 2021.
With much love from our home to yours.

But their strength is in plodding.

When we come together
To share food
Catch up on the news and
Spend time together
It is an act of love.

Freewheeling.

Yet there is a difference in detail
Observing moments.

No two are alike.

Inspiration along your path.
Lifting you up
To keep moving.

And watch as files were deleted.

My heart sees spirit.

In a garden.

In a garden.

23 June 2021 – Knitting Life
Life's knitting analogies:
If there's a loose thread
Sew it in.
If there's a hole
Mend it.
If there's a dropped stitch
Pick it up.
If you've made a mistake
Does it really matter?
And sometimes,
If you've messed up the pattern
Strip it back to the beginning.
