Daily Napkin for Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2010
When it's gray
and all colors
are shades of gray
and stillness sits
in grayness
like a blanket
wet and soggy
Then, I let the sun
in me
shine brighter…
Full spectrum light
Daily Napkin for Monday, February 8, 2010
Have you ever noticed?
There's more than enough
of everything…
Plenty of sand
no skimping on beauty
Love everywhere
and light everyday
Evidence of a prosperous
universe filled with
more than enough…
Peace
the delicate cherry blossoms
drifted down
to the lotus pond
each one softly
whispering
it’s mantra of “Peace”
on breezes
ever so faint
Hearts call out
in sacred silence
through the beaked lips
of joyous birds
Daily Napkin for Thursday, February 4, 2010
In the crisp chill
we howled at the full moon
empathizing with brother wolf
clinging with toes
to pebbles and sand
and prickly forest elements
Closing eyes in the effort
immersed in the thrill
and quickening spirit
Until with cloud,
one-pointedness and voice
drifted away in lingering howl
In a shiver moment was gone
off toward the warmth of slumber
Daily Napkin for Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Settle in my bones
you might say
without compunction
or judgement
or some silly self-description
Naked inside
and comfortable with it
able to leap small challenges
in a single thought
and discover that roadblocks
are an invitation
for a spontaneous picnic
