Join Week-End Reflection every Friday, where I invite you to express and reflect about your week using poetry, prose, imagery or art in response to “This week I discovered . . .”  I encourage you to come back and visit the other posts linked here to help amplify the gratitude. Taking the time to reflect on your week, acknowledging your Self and giving gratitude for what you have encountered, to set a positive tone for upcoming weeks.

Deer reminds me to practice gentleness

Acceptance of my quiet nature

I look and see a kindness reflected in their eyes

where once I saw fear

I see acceptance

It’s okay to be here

they tell me

It’s okay to feel fear,

but not necessary

follow our rhythm

our dance of kindness

treat yourself with the same gentle awareness you hold for us

 the same kind manner, curiosity, and awe

Afterall, we are all beautiful beings

to be held in reverence

End of the Week Reflection
Every Friday stop by ArtTherapist.ca blog to add your link. Reflecting on what nuggets you have discovered each week is a wonderful way to set intentions. Sharing our feats with others helps us clarify what we have learned. It’s also a nice way to build community and to let others discover what beauty you are sharing with the world.  Feel free to add the Week-End Reflection button to your post with a link to  www.arttherapist.ca/blog .  Add your link below, and please stop by the other links over the weekend to see what others are discovering!
