Conscious Work
A labor of Love
Their deep conversation
Passed gently through
The hours of productive pain
To birth a new understanding
Between them
Joyous
Conscious
Work…
Old Habits
Returning to the old landscape
the landmarks were familiar
The faces of déjà vous
had not quite the same expression
The paths were worn
but adjusted to new configurations
Old habits die hard
still it’s easiest to tread lightly
on forgotten pathways
As if exploring for the first time
new joys await around the next bend
The Key
Forgiveness and compassion
is the key which opens
the lock in my heart
Open the door
and let Love shine
Illuminate my world
all the time
“Use the key,” I say to me
“Use the key.”
Window of the Soul
Window of the Soul
Window of the Soul is the stone that holds the energies of the West at the Western door: the place of emotions, the adult, dreamtime, and the element of water.
When I first set up the circle this stone was insistent, and quite clear that it belonged in the West in the circle. There was no arguing with it. It is a stone that has been with me for many years, and I have used it extensively.
It is a smokey, veiled quartz and acts as a catalyst as it helps one to access soul messages, lucid dreamtime, and channelled information. It can be used effectively in a healing session as well.
Centered
Oh, the merry go round goes round
and we go up and down
And though the world
does not revolve around me
I am centered in my own being
Over and around and through
I am uplifted, supported and floating
On the abundance
of everything good
The Boss of My Brain
I love this song. It wakes up my inner voices, and helps me remember the truth about my life. It reminds me who really makes all of my decisions – ownership of my actions is a good thing.
Birth of a Song
He stepped into the meadow
and many dragonflies greeted him
in the lightly slanted sunlight
His Spirit frolicked
as the new song burst
fully formed
From his lips, from his heart,
and from his grateful Spirit
Gratitude Dance
the caterpillar path
Marked only in his mind
with determination and zeal
Doing his little gratitude dance
with all his hairy legs
every 2-3 feet or so
Oh-PAH!
Potential Contemplation
he let the tsunami of love
wash over him
The look of bliss on his face
incredibly sweet…
One more time, he realized,
another moment appeared
Full of potential
for any kind of experience
he wished to have

*Note: Just to let you know what’s been happening with the Daily Napkin, Marshal fell off a ladder three Sundays ago and has not been going to work for the last two weeks while he recovers from his injuries. His healing is progressing quite well, thank you, and he will most likely be returning to work next week. In the meantime, we will fill in with some past Napkins that haven’t been posted before. Our apologies for two weeks of no posting and please enjoy.
Full Gut
Fork it!
That’s what I say…
Fork it
and eat it up
with great relish!
Life ‘tis
for full ingesting
so, feel that fullness in your gut
——————————
Down home humor
fills my gut
With the sweet ache
of so much laughter
That all “ails” me
is healed with glee
