this day it dawns
more light than yesterday
with just three
more
minutes

yet this time and light
bring a deepened discernment, shifting
from vague shadow to sharp focus
with each
minute
more

choice revealed

possibility realized

commitment renewed

later in the day times passes, light fades
yet enough to remember
a clarity that could come
again tomorrow
with three
more
minutes

Introspective and contemplative by nature, Katharine Weinmann is a seeker whose reading of mystics, poets, and philosophers shapes the container from which her words emerge. Informed by her clinical training as a psychotherapist, professional practice as a leadership coach and group facilitator, and personal inner work in depth psychology, Katharine writes poetry and creative non-fiction, sharing the beauty in her imperfect, sometimes broken, mostly well lived and much loved life in her blog, A Wabi Sabi Life. Published in several global and national online journals, and anthologies, Katharine is co-editor of the Canadian online quarterly, Sage-ing: The Journal of Creative Aging.
