Year 3 porcupine
Porcupine sits in all her innocence
and peace
where she decides
Built-in hard-wired boundaries
protect her soft
tickly belly
Year 2 movie
It’s not just a story,
but rather a gilded cage
that holds the heart hostage
only as long
as I am delighted in the telling…
In this moment
I choose to be in a new movie…

In the winter circle
breath visible and cheeks pinked
all senses awakened
there in the midst of tree folk
there where wildness
rise up through our core,
love arose from deep
within our chests a-roaring
of righteousness
of life

Down by the river
on a ripe Saturday,
purple clouds and azure,
happy otter drifting by,
feelings swift and fluid
flood…
Sorrow and joy mingle
in the eddies of my soul
snags of fear grab at
floating ambivalent flotsam,
smile of peace breaks free
takes flight on fluttering wing
Daily Napkin for Tuesday, November 3, 2009
At dawning, the full moon
paling on her journey west..
Birds shake awake with
crisping leaves glowing
new light awakening..
Misunderstood crows
caw indiscriminately —
city roosters between
darkness and light
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
