The Quiet Rebuild


 

“Resilience doesn’t erase the cracks, it teaches, where to shine light.”


The house stands again,
its walls straight, its seams sealed.
From the outside,
all appears whole.

But wholeness is not the absence of breaks.
It is the memory of them,
the quiet strength they leave behind.
The wood remembers the fracture.
The stone remembers the weight.
And in remembering, they endure differently,
not in innocence, but in wisdom.

Rebuilding is not pretending nothing happened.
It is honoring the cracks,
welcoming the light that seeps through them,
choosing to rise again,
knowing that what was once broken
can still hold,
can still stand,
can still carry.

Stillness settles differently after the storm.
It carries the hum of survival,
the rhythm of resilience,
the quiet promise that nothing ends here,
it only changes shape.

And just as the night leaned into rest, I felt it, a subtle shift, not to disturb the peace, but to remind me that even in rebuilding, life keeps moving, and tomorrow always asks us to meet it again.

H20 and Snow

When the seasons change and you feel rearranged , no wall will hold you back from it all, don’t skip the struggle, build your strength to get over the wall and new seasons will shine on it all.

When the snow walls start to grow all that is intact becomes compact.

The snow glistens in the light.

Every flake falling from the sky seems to have a purpose to fly.

Trees hold their hands out to measure the snow’s weight often taking on too much and they break.

The wind will blow and  some of the snow leaves the branches to bounce back up to grow.

Critters make their way and snow walls are built on the path they pave.

It’s amazing to me how snowflakes are made and create walls after they fall.

You can see the snow hanging on in places, falling and creating beautiful spaces.

Roofs are covered with a blanket of white and along all the edges are pure white.

Icicles seem to be pulled to the ground from an invite to the last drop coming down.

With every drop of H2o created from the melting snow you get a glimpse of nature’s show sharing with you more to know.

As the air’s temperature changes ,nature’s way arranges the H2o and the reflection of you in the glow.

The trees

the snow

the sky

the walls

the icicles

the mountains so high

the lakes

the deer

the fire crackling near

take in the wonder that surrounds me so clear.

There is nothing so profound than the beauty of nature and the lessons found.

Sunshine on the snow  always reveals diamonds everywhere you go.
