Even Now [a poem]

Even now—
when the path lies veiled in shadow
and light clings only to the edges—
you are not without a way.
There is a voice,
quiet as breath,
guiding you inward
toward stillness,
toward peace.

Even now—
when the weight of waiting bows your shoulders
and weariness settles deep—
you do not walk alone.
Grace moves beside you,
unseen and unwavering,
cradling the quiet work
of your becoming.

Even now—
when time feels lost,
and the world seems to move without you—
remember:
not all growth arrives with fanfare.
Some of it stirs in silence,
rooting in unseen soil,
taking shape
in the sacred art
of simply enduring.

You are not forgotten.
You are not adrift.
You are being led
by hands that do not waver,
by light that never leaves.

Even now.

Today is not too late.

I hope you enjoy these words, and have a blessed Thanksgiving week.

Allow me to spin upon the spindle
a tale of an encounter true.
A patient once, a homeless mum,
her words now recounted for you:
