Greet the Day

In ceremony

the groundhog community

greets the new day


Each rising up

on their haunches


facing the rising sun

and singing the

Greet the Day Song


It is the favorite

ceremony of the day

Happy mid-winter, everyone!  Spring is on its way.

Cartoon Animal

How would it be
to look like a cartoon animal?
The manatee may know
although I bet he
never thinks about it
Manatee is just happy
to swim around looking sappy
and living the simple life

God Line

“Don’t get snagged for long,” she said
“on sharp little thoughts
Aggrieved or spent
In consternation’s path
For every pulled thread
Provides a God line
A reminder of our humanity
And still the weaving
Warp and weft
Continues to describe
The pattern of our lives.”
Rose’s Garden

Rose’s Garden

 Nevermore to Hide

How often have I glanced
only to fall in head over heals and back
onto stare way to heavenly
in the center of perfection

 

 

Pulling the Plug

My creative Spirit has a query…

Who pulled the plug?


It seems the colors

all without pomp

or circumstance at all

simply drained out


Greyness, shades of greyness

and misty coldness midst the grey

• • •


It must be time for washing

bathe the palette properly now


And charge it up

with brand new colors

come Spring

Queen of Stripes

Queen of Stripes

Her Majesty’s Self

Whether standing or not,

filled with power or something sour

the Queen of Stripes

knows naught

but else she has ordered herself

Earth Prayer

Earth Prayer

For All Living Beings

 

Originally the basis of this image was an illuminari (chalk painting) that I created on the tarmac at a benefit for the Philharmonic in Auburn.  The prayer is revised from a poem that I wrote in the Daily Napkin.

Some images and writings that I create sing to me differently on different occasions, and sometimes they always pluck the same heart strings over and over again, ringing true like a bell.  Prayers for the earth and all living beings on her always ring true for me, so this is not a re-purposing of image or poem, but rather an enrichening.

Feel free to share it with anyone whose heart it will touch. I see us all holding hands to pray even through the little dancing electrons of our computer screens.
