Holidays 2019


Holiday Blends...

Another Day on the Street


Holidays.... Another season of Hope underway as my 20th Holiday
and Winter Season is rolling in. So many Blessings and much
to be Grateful for, along with devastating blows to contend with.

But the Holidays are really not a favorite time for me, not anymore.
Haven't been for a long time. Having no place to go, and
no one to share the days with, just fills my heart and soul
with a deeper emptiness left vacant and hollow.

As the air becomes Festive and Vibrant, and while the
Scents of Fall filling our lungs with the Sweet Warmth
of Spices, Baking and cooking, the Holidays brings
duality along with it. Living on the streets,
you only experience the Holidays through the
looking glass from the outside, not involved in or
immersed through it.

Breathing in The Crisp, Sweet air of the mornings and
evenings are one of the Best feelings, adding a
sense of excitement of Beauty yet to come.
Well, the air used to be Sweet and Crisp, now
reeks of Pot fumes at every turn, the Hint of
the sweet, clean, crisp air is still present.

But having to face and spend yet another Holiday and
Winter Season without a home and literally on the cold, harshness
of the streets, brings the reality of it smashing in my face.

So along with the Blessings I have and all I have
to be Grateful for, it collides in opposition to
living on the streets and all the challenges that
alone brings. The list of challenges a
physically challenged female having to
live every moment on the street nearly mutes
all the good; But being In Nature and Living every
moment in NATURE, brings beauty to my heart
and eyes as I breathe and experience all Nature
offers. With a front row seat to the colors blooming and
shedding, all the animals singing their songs, and
communicating with each other and everyone around,
with the background sounds of the traffic that tries to
mute the Nature Effect, and does diminish the
experience and feel of being IN nature, but cannot completely
overshadow it. Beauty will find its way through.
Like a single flower will push through the most barren
landscape to bring Hope and Beauty.

Holidays on the streets are like that single flower,
Hope and Beauty filters through on occasion.
No, it is not there every moment, but it does come
through and when it does and the light captures
your heart in those moments, the shroud of
smothering darkness lessens.

Holidays on the Street are not steeped in traditions, other than
the ones you create... mine, I usually have a good stack of
Books, which I take to the park and spend the day
reading and writing, meditating, and walking in Nature, unless
I am able to find some place in need of volunteers.

Holiday air takes on a different feel, where it becomes
electric and vibrates with its own heartbeat
pulsing with excitement. Where the Air becomes
Alive with Promise, and Hope...

December is the most invigorating month of the entire
year. The air is sweeter, brighter, crisp and filled with Sparks
of Hope, Light and Love that bring the feeling that Anything and
everything is not only possible, but the endless
possibilities that fill every thought, deed and action
arise and take hold of your heart, where Faith
takes flight and directs your every move.
