Mind

I align my mind
with Mind
Great Mystery’s Mind
I soar like
a great eagle
on the wings of life
Rejoice in today
for all we have 
at the moment
is the moment

Essence

Lift your heart
and you lift the hearts
of all those around you
Dare to be you!
Savor the flavor
of your spin
on the moment
It is your essence
and it is tasty
Twins

Twins

She and I were twins once long ago
“two peas in a pod” – they said
meanwhile, clucking tongues
flapped about antics
We rode bears like horses
arms outstretched, faces alight
Rolled in the grasses and mugwort
plucking chamomile tops to bite
Until glistening hair washed in the creek
hung all akimbo and full
of bits and stems, flowers and blades
The winds were delighted, as they sang
our wild song in whispered shouts

Gifts of Life

Once on the very tip
of my nose
a butterfly landed…
a kiss that blesses always
Precious are the gifts of Life
Life can be as dramatic
as a tragedy
and as exuberant
as a musical
Your choice…

This marks 1,000 posted napkins!!!

Pull and Push

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
