“Monumental gimmers”
Hint at possibility
fleeting yet never ending.

It’s been well over a year, maybe two, since I read the words, “monumental glimmers” on Trini Lind’s blog and apparently added the next two lines. I wish I could remember which of Trini’s posts they came from. Her words spoke to me of glimpses we get of something big and beautiful beyond our understanding, one of those magical things waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Speaking of beautiful, I hope you will Trini’s blog: https://pathsofthespirit.wordpress.com/

I’m sharing this as part of One-Liner Wednesday and Just Jot it January hosted by the enduring and endearing, Linda Hill. For details, click HERE.

I can apply this to last fall’s visit to the mountains. Big and beautiful, and their magic beyond my understanding. I have to go back and learn more…

  It’s interesting how something can be beyond our logical understanding, but somehow, we know, we feel, the importance. More to come! 🙂

Thank you for sharing!!.. I get those monumental glimmers every time I venture outdoors at night and gaze up at a clear starry sky and the universe and it stirs the imagination… 🙂

Until we meet again..
May the love that you give
Always return to you,
That family and friends are many
And always remain true,
May your mind only know peace
No suffering or strife,
May your heart only know love and happiness
On your journey through life.

  The stars at night are perfect examples of monumental glimmers! This is especially true this time of year when I can see more of them. Thank you for that, addition, Larry, and your thoughtful poem. 🙂
