Magnolia Meditations

Gorgeous blossom
hiding place for
the squirrel today
 
Sprinkled over the landscape
awaiting an unknown bride tomorrow
…………………………………………………..
 
Aw…
two love-doves
in the garden
 
Come to roost
to sing their loving song
 
We are even more blessed!
I didn’t imagine that possible

Cavorting

Like cavorting dolphins
they flowed through life
seemingly carefree
 
With unabashed abandon
poking at turtles
and elbowing whales
…………………………………………
 
Exuberance abounds
in my heart of hearts
 
When we allow our little kids
from the inside into outside
to cavort and play
Wood Nymph

Wood Nymph

Spirit of the Woods

In the cave
hidden on the cliffside
Rockfall and rubble
bushes and grasses all around
In that silent solitary place
near the river of my life
I sat in communication
with the bugs and animals
And became more connected
more at one
with the earth in the walls

and through the rock on which I sat
silently in peace…*

Souls Path

The spiral of
our Soul’s path
 
Takes us ever
nearer the center
 
The One,
the all we never left
……………………………………….
 
Meanwhile, even in Cucamonga
life is only experienced
one moment at a time
So, live it up, my friends
Moonrise

Moonrise

Mystery Lake

I camped alone on the shore of the lake, forsaken by none, embraced by moonlit breezes, wakened from slumber by the whispering pines, calmed into dream by the waters song. I would have lingered longer on that distant and isolated shore if not for the mysterious longing that called my heart home.
