Begin Again Again
Begin again
in this moment
once more
Begin
Again
Leaning on guidance
stepping out
in faith
in knowing
with the heart
of a child
Beginners heart
begin.again.again
Think of old Finnigan
do the little dance
and song
or not
Begin…
Taking one more step because the journey is the destination.
Blessings for the Longest Night
Enter Winter Solstice,
Longest night is near
Hear the heart, its’ yearning
Invokes the light’s return
Mystery all around
Blessings abound
May you be surrounded and in-filled by love and light!
Thanks Giving
There is such an abundance of things to be thankful for…
I could start saying them right now,
continue speaking them every moment, every day
from here on
and not have finished on the day I died…
And so I do
And so I do
Thank you for being part of this abundant life with me.
Finishing Well
The warrior moves
down the long tunnel
Nearing the light of a new life arena
He has come a long distance
over many years of boredom
and hanging on
Waiting and praying for this day
with tenacity and grit
As he climbs up the ramp
He hears the welcoming crowd
cheering him on and blessing him
for a job well done in his own
humble and quiet way
And, as he enters this
untrodden field of opportunity,
Under the bright klieg lights
He knows in his gut
that he has finished well
and is now ready
for this next life chapter
of further adventures
Hip hip hooray!!!

Soul Gifts
Our gifts are meant
To stretch our capabilities
And stretching is
Always a challenge!
So, be attentive
To your soul’s joy
Let your soul’s delight
Be your compass
In Love, it’s begun…
Balance
Blending the elements
fire and water
earth and air
Finding balance
which may be different
than yours, than theirs
Always in upheaval
of one kind or another
moving, alive, short stasis
And around again
Again…
Honoring
Honoring you for your work
the day to day nose to it
and way more
with a cherry on top (not maraschino)
The pulling, the seeping
The trudging, the weeping
The smiling, the joy work
Involving the unfolding
Allowing bigger
Discovering lighter
Enabling growth
Honoring you and me
and all of us…
Fickle Feathers
Like feathers falling
from who knows where
Thoughts and other mental activities
drifted upon the corners
nooks and craniums
Touched down in silent celebration
jubilant in a mute kind of way
a gaggle of possibilities
tickled inferences
While the occasional spackle
plopped and gurgled
a means of providing
stick-to-it-iveness
to otherwise fickle
feathered ideas
Movement
intense below the surface
vibrant at its center
like a fiery rainbow
misting through the cells
feelings permeated
infiltrated, illuminated
charged the moment
upon expression
created movement
instigated experiences
catalyzed growth
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine
was all growed up and everything
Living in the back washes
of the carnival/rodeo thingy
she’d been there for years
most of her life, it seemed
Herded there by a cloudy character
of undefined purposes
in a nefarious attempt
to cloud her light
She couldn’t help it
shine is what she was
and shine is what she did
