Happy Birthday to all!
Everyday’s a birthday!
Let’s celebrate our birthday today —
how many days?
Each day a new gift
of life, of love, of light
of experience,of drama
and excitement, of joy
and sorrow…
Happy Birthday to all!
Herstory
Tell me a story
Of herstory in balance
where all the heroes
are peaceful
and the lowly
are thriving in joy
Then let us work together
or, even better, play
to make this a reality story
for our children’s children’s children
Treehopping
Running up the tree
like a bear or even a monkey
I used the momentum
to propel me to the heights
———————————————
There’s not much else like
swaying in the treetop
breezes flickering the hair
the whole world wavering
riding the windsailing branch
carrying me towards my horizon
lift my wing nubs
skipping like squirrel
down branched highways
Joyous life
Candle
The candle over the heart
burned for days, on and an,
keeping the hopes alight
extending the prayers
through the long,
dark night
the flame steady
in the stillness
providing stillness
amidst all the days activities
Joy Moment
In the fullness of the day,
no props — just sun and warmth
light and light-heartedness
sprawled out on a lawn
new mown, smelling like watermelon
heart beat evident
to awakened consciousness
Is there any joy greater
in this moment?
