how freeing she says
her wings stretch far and wide
her sceptre beak leads majestically
ready to take on spring's mid-morning
in the moment only illumination
after the heathered rain
and the sun plays peekaboo
with the winged beryl
who emerges fully committed
to this game of life
RE-DEFINING SUCCESS: Woos and Woes
Sheelagh Cabalda is a partner, mama and educator, who has worked extensively in youth development, cultural studies, multicultural counseling, cancer support, higher education, events administration and non-profit management. Redefining success is a combination of positive & changing self-concept, inner directedness and a balance of priorities. It is personal empowerment -- taking charge over what we can control & accepting what we cannot. Every day is an attempt to do just that.

How freedom feels

Hold my hand
can i let go of the madness for a while?
fall out and drop back
into the holy hush of now
this breath invites me
to remember your story,
how we are a part
of each other's story
we need each other
in the cloudburst,
in the sunlight
can we show up for each other with love?
let us hold out our hands
and embrace each other

Holiday vision
memories cascade
in the light rain
an emotional facial
my skin moist
ocean waves crash
in the distance
mist sprays
a peaceful grieving remembrance
his spirit walks beside me
he steps ever so gingerly
i welcome his visit in my dreams
with his fatherly advice
in traditional metaphorical riddle
no footprints in the sand
no voice
but only
as i walk nostalgic, alone
in this sacred pause
and shadowy air
his silhouette unseen --
and he is there
