Begin Again Again

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

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

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
 
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

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

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
