Wife to Captain Awesome, Mummy to Jemima (sleeping till Jesus’ return) and Gemma. Living in windy Wellington, NZ with our cat Kitty. I love beautiful things, simplicity, minimalism, theology and anything that builds community. I am currently (finally!) enjoying Stay-At-Home-Mum life having spent the past working years primary teaching and in paid ministry at my church. Years ago a friend wrote this poem and I’ve always treasured it as a source of comfort and inspiration. (It’s the reason behind the name ‘My Bright Room’):
Oh
People say
That dreams are fragile
And yes, I guess
Sometimes they are
But not mine. No
My dreams are strong
As steel
My dreams are bright
As gold
And I dream like a cloud
But I fall like the rain
And I hurt like a god
Then I smile again
I really don’t think you know
(My bright room of lightning)
I will live before I die
Yes.
- – Rochelle Bews
Sometimes I get the urge to write… So this blog is a wee space for me to do that. Thanks for stopping by.
