Grandmothers

Now from Then

The bones remember ancestors habit and pattern proclivity and appetence The heart recalls yesterday's yearning while beckoned today divine challenge The mind turns and weaves in silent interpretation ever appraising the moment now, past, or future Aligned as one

Hollow Log

The hollow log was home to many and the breezes blew through That dead old tree gives life and sustenance to the earth on the floor of the living forest Bugs and squirrels burrowing or scurrying winged or crawly

Pedal Pushing

Pedal Pushing

As muscles flex and stretch to push the pedals and my face into the wind The ache, the bite awakens endorphins and the rush helps push further and further Such sweet pain

Friends of the Past

Friends Far off in time or space soften my heart still With friendship's grace without uttering a word nor treading my step I can conjure their faces and love them fully with no contact ever I will carry them always

Gratitudes Grace

A sentinel of heart's rejoicing gratitude rang true in all of my consciousness Every ember of life's passion flamed bright in the breezes caused by fresh thoughts and epiphanies Riding on the heels of thankfulness Blessings abound

Spring in Summer

Spring sprang into summer this year without a hitch Soft summer nights bolted after late rains Edges of seasons blended in a variety of ways Keeping us ever surprised a benefit of conscious living

Grateful Moments

Several times each and every day Gratitude rises up in my chest like stop-motion flowers bursting open In full appreciation of Life

Caterpillar

One leg up on the rest of the crew Caterpillar loved that he was he and not some silly bug with only six legs

Shower of Love

In the shower of love my pores soak it up All the extra stuff soiled or shadow sticky or too sweet sloughs off And I am left standing whole and complete In Spirit's house I shower every day
