Daily Napkin for Monday, November 2, 2009

Caught up in to do's
and forgetting to be,
the train of thought
thundered past reason…
There in the wreckage
was surrender,
there was hope to be discovered…
There the path of peace
was rediscovered and embraced

Daily Napkin for Friday, October 30, 2009

Not so long ago,
he thought himself
self-contained,
all right there in one
wrapped up package…
Perceptions change instantly
with a new lens prescription
"Ah!", as a new life dawned…
"I am one
with all of One"

Daily Napkin for Thursday, October 29, 2009

Once upon entering a valley,
a woman, involved interior,
awoke to unlikely fact:
She was being chased by a rainbow…
As her vehicle sped, she led
until phantom color bridge
scooted ahead and stood,
arched over the road before her…
"Improbable, unlikely, fantasy"
throwing thoughts like arrows,
impervious rainbow stood
until the last moment, when
it scooted over to unite..
She drove through transformation,
an eternity in a moment of light..

We danced under the full moon
the coyotes yelping
the fire crackling
the singers taking turns
and beating the drum
Round and round until
we had merged with earth
until the last singer
could sing no more,
my wild heart alive with joy

Daily Napkin for Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Early sunlight
reflected on shiny
magnolia leaves,
lightly chilled breeze
tickled the aspen,
squirrel bustled past
on some kind of mission…
Clouds drift by fluffy
marking time on their march
to the mountains
