Circle Blessing

Twice
the delicate white spider
deliberately walked
the circumference
of our circle, then disappeared
Who was that blessing us?
What part of me-you-us-all?
Self-affirmation of the One

Same Sun

Over the hill
on the other side
the day shines 
with the light
from the same sun
as this side
And, when you’re there,
on that other side,
this side 
is the other side
where daylight
happens
under the same sun
And so it goes
the dance 
another
dance in the sun…

Part of the Infinite

Once I cleared the horizon
I discovered the only way
to have no reference
was to have no relationship
Which really is impossible,
as wherever I go,
I’m part of the Infinite

Spirit Peace

Peace will 
overcome
each day
we let it 
in our hearts
Spirit sparkles
through your eyes
like amber diamonds
full of rainbows
of soul deep 
peace

Howdy Partner

Partners in life (but not crime)
In celebration and growth
In sadness and sickness
In joy and contemplation
Partners in humor and dance
In cleaning and work
In entertainment and travel
In reverence and strength
Partners for now each day
In tomorrows and yesterdays
In tears and smiles
For a long, long while
Howdy partner, saying “Hi,”
As we traverse this life, you and I

Powerful Seed

The awesome power
within one little seed
Grows into the magnificence of life
expressing fully
Every conscious thought
is such a seed…
Plant a magnificent garden today

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…
