How to Stop Sabotaging Yourself
Guest Barista December Rose- Starlets and Shrouds
A huge thanks to Go Dog Go Café for reposting this poem! If you guys haven’t checked the page out, please do. All of the “guest baristas” have amazing works to share 🙂
‘Tis a faint halo that hems in the moon
A reminder that it is enslaved here, too
By its own beauty, its Clair de Lune
Much like the hearts it shines to woo
Are we not all but silhouette
As such, ’tis only shadows we beget
The shrouds that encompass each starlet
Illuminate dreams and prayers unmet
Footprints on the sand, then, are soul-deep
And as I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
That, into the world, my light might seep
My name is December Rose… Well, that’s not entirely true, but I prefer that name as a writer. Just like everyone else, I’m not just a writer. I’m also not just a musician, engineer, coffee enthusiast, or child, but I am all of those things and plus a bit more. I’ve lived life and had my share of wonderful and regrettable experiences, and found that my place…

Only You
Searching for answers between the lines Lines in the palm of your hand Searching for the slightest sign Sign that is your heart's fervent demand I search your eyes and see it unfold Unfold like cloud shape shifting Rampant, it could never hold Hold shape: I saw my own soul searching Searching, I found only you. Confess
Starlit Anarchy
The whispers of dawn de-throne streetlights Who they themselves committed mutiny in an outcry What other reason does the dark need for corruption Except that it was led by a false light, a half-light But now the half-light has had its anarchy The darkness, its unwholesome frivolity and revelry So I say to the sunrise:...

Dreams Like These
One night I looked to the Heavens to find Anything that would suggest I exist So I reached to the stars, and each one kissed My fingertips and corners of my mind From the Milky Way, I poured a tall glass Of shimmering dreams to lighten my heart It tingled my tongue and was... Continue Reading →
In The Softness
This is such a wonderful post and message, especially for where I am at in life, especially on a Wednesday. Fits with the post I wrote earlier today as well. Be sure to check it out and give Drawing Back The Curtain a like and follow!
This morning I pulled a card from my beautiful new Yantra Deck, the Art of Being Present, that I found in Nelson, BC, on my little road trip. The card was ‘Simplicity’ and it inspired the following journal entry, which I would like to share with you on this Thanksgiving Day here in Canada:
“I love being in the here and now, immersing myself in the peacefulness that I find beneath the busyness of my mind. The soothing freshly brewed nettle tea brings warmth to the inside, while the crackling fire in wood stove wraps me in its warmth on the outside.
Life feels so simple in this moment and so full, as Raven glides by, clucking its unique sound in agreement perhaps. The ‘trying to figure it all out’ mind has receded into the background for now. I can tune into it if I wish, but I don’t, staying…

Day 7,932 – U.I.L.Y’s
We collect “I love you’s” as though they were a currency, and to be honest, I can’t think of anything more valuable than hearing the words “I love you”. Some people understand the value of them, and some people don’t. Some rarely spend any, giving them only to the people who are most dear. Some give them out flippantly almost degrading what the worth of “I love you” is. The truth is, no matter where in the spectrum you lie, we always wish we could have said “I love you” at least one more time.
I wonder how many “I love you’s” were said last night while gunfire rained down on thousands of people.i wonder how many people wished they had said “I love you” to that one person. Just one more time. Lord knows, there are too many people I would like to say that too. So many left…

Shimmer in Blue
I was designed for a shimmer in blue for a merry sailor tune for all of the things that titillate you I can see the wide open sea the salt air breeze like a veil and ring like my bride to be and so I ebb and flow I ne'er let go let the words sing into an ocean... Continue Reading →
