The tug boat is small, strong
and mighty of heart
As it chugs up
the river of life
pulling more than it’s weight
—————————-
Meanwhile…
Pushing the river up the hill
is a lesson in futility
As it wears out
the biggest
even the mightiest of hearts
Once, when he was young
The day slipped by slowly
Languishing in the corners
His young spirit
Fed by fanciful things
Magic permeated
His being then
The absolute magic
Of simply being alive…
Around and around
Spinning softly as an atom
Or our lovely planet
Divine Love is whole,
Perfect and complete
In fact,
It is all I Am…
In the company of the Muse
And a troupe of her affiliates
(or is it her initiates?)
The air vibrates with enthusiasm
Creative epiphanies sparking
In the air like mini-lightning
———-
One session – a jolt from the starter
Revved up for a daytrip of ideas
———-
Regular gatherings
Keep the engines running
On a symbiotic think fuel
And maintained by heart mechanics
So many things fly to mind
when exercised
It’s in the exhilarating
dreams of joy
that we ourselves can fly
rather they soar and glide
Mostly
according to some perceptions
angels hover and sing
Did you ever wonder
if there’s angel aerobics?
Sink into the solitude
lurking behind
a thin veil within
each blessed moment
Peace whispers, “I am here!”
Here now!
Here, here now
Hear now
Hear here now
The thin bell sound of awareness
sings only now
hear here now…
Kind of pretty on the outside
light poking through crevices
Showing off the sparkly parts
more subdued on the inside
Words like clouds and picket fence
challenges and expanding hearts
come to mind
—————————————————-
Clothing hitched up to cross the stream
time to get toes dirty in the mud
Breezes flapping hair and cloth
heart intrepid in the face of fear
Best friends side by side sometimes
and off on our own side path
at other times
discovering myriad nooks and crannies
as we keep going forward
Begin the journey once again
midstream at the start
Who knows where
at the end…
Today we celebrate our journey midstream. It’s our 10 year anniversary!
The star on your forehead
Shines brightest
When you are steeped in innocence
Or when you belly up to the playground
What makes you so special?
That’s easy!
You are a unique individual
Within the whole of Life
And, the Universe loves you beyond measure
