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
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
the biggest
even the mightiest of hearts
Magical Spirit
Once, when he was young
The day slipped by slowly
Languishing in the corners
His young spirit
Fed by fanciful things
Magic permeated
His being then
The absolute magic
Of simply being alive…
I Am Love
Around and around
Spinning softly as an atom
Or our lovely planet
Divine Love is whole,
Perfect and complete
In fact,
It is all I Am…
Start Your Engines
In the company of the Muse
And a troupe of her affiliates
(or is it her initiates?)
The air vibrates with enthusiasm
Creative epiphanies sparking
In the air like mini-lightning
———-
One session – a jolt from the starter
Revved up for a daytrip of ideas
———-
Regular gatherings
Keep the engines running
On a symbiotic think fuel
And maintained by heart mechanics
Bumbling
Bumble bees
don’t bumble
Have you ever noticed?
They are direct
and to the point
Now Aunt Bea-
she could bumble a bit…
Flying and Angel Stuff
So many things fly to mind
when contemplating
the joys in life
Gratitude grows
exponentially
when exercised
It’s in the exhilarating
dreams of joy
that we ourselves can fly
• • •
Meanwhile…
Angels don’t flit
rather they soar and glide
Mostly
according to some perceptions
angels hover and sing
or something
Did you ever wonder
if there’s angel aerobics?
Peace
Sink into the solitude
lurking behind
a thin veil within
each blessed moment
Peace whispers, “I am here!”
Here now!
Here, here now
Hear now
Hear here now
The thin bell sound of awareness
sings only now
hear here now…
Bursting Forth
Like the ruby-tipped tulip
or bursting fireworks
you burst forth
from your center
A joyous explosion
of bliss
Starseed
bundle of light
With each day
may the light grow
We mentioned that we were nearing 1,000 Napkins a while back. Not all napkins have been typed, as there were several years of napkins before we started typing them. Still, there are a good number of napkins that have been typed, yet not posted. The number of napkins typed was nearing a thousand, and is now well over that mark. With this post we have eight more to release publicly to reach 1,000. We will post the thousandth napkin on January 1, 2015!
The Journey
Kind of pretty on the outside
light poking through crevices
Showing off the sparkly parts
more subdued on the inside
Words like clouds and picket fence
challenges and expanding hearts
challenges and expanding hearts
come to mind
——————————
Clothing hitched up to cross the stream
time to get toes dirty in the mud
Breezes flapping hair and cloth
heart intrepid in the face of fear
Best friends side by side sometimes
and off on our own side path
at other times
discovering myriad nooks and crannies
as we keep going forward
Begin the journey once again
midstream at the start
Who knows where
at the end…
Today we celebrate our journey midstream. It’s our 10 year anniversary!
Unique
The star on your forehead
Shines brightest
When you are steeped in innocence
Or when you belly up to the playground
What makes you so special?
That’s easy!
You are a unique individual
Within the whole of Life
And, the Universe loves you beyond measure
