Prayer

You feel the pull.

You hear the call.

The Songs.

The Prayers.

The Drums.

They weave their way into your Consciousness.

And you have gone to answer the summons.

To take supplies.

To work.

To be of service.

To support those who stand to protect water.

I pray with the WATER PROTECTORS at STANDING ROCK.

And for YOU my friend-I hold you in my heart.

Be Safe.  Be Warm.  Be Love.

Penny

How can we measure a creature's capacity for love?  How can we sound those depths?


I face the setting sun, while the full moon rises through the trees behind me.  

I kneel and pat down the dark soil

And I say good bye to Penny.


Though I picked out four names, the other three came up to me one by one and told me what they wanted to be called and I discarded my list of names.

But you came to me and looked up at me with your bright eyes, and said "I'll be Penny", and so one name from the list was used after all.  And I was glad, because it fit you so well.  Bright and shiny.

You perched in my hand the very first day we met.  You fell asleep and I didn't want to wake you, by setting you down, but I finally did and you snuggled in with the others.

The others just act like hens.  What else can I expect?  Would I have them be something they're not?   The surprise was you.

It's not the same without you.

I try with them.  But they aren't like you.

You with your playfulness and lightheartedness.

You made me smile, and you made me love you.  A life well crafted.

Well done Penny.

New Moon in Aquarius

Stars like diamonds in a clear black sky

They dazzle earthly eyes

There is no moon

To detract from their brilliance

Stop The Madness


  Dear Children of the World

   Will you choose to breAk the cycle?

              Before it's too Late?

  Or will you feed the power-hungry a dish piled high

                         With your Most precious resources?

Yielding with blank staring eyes And a frozen smile on your lips?

     Let us instead, create a commeRce of a different kind

Where all are cared for & none exploiTed.










So none may have power over.

Spring

Spring

                                               Movement

Currents flowing through trembling leaves.

Ecstatic light breaths out brightness, 
which dims on inhalation.

Sun so bright, 
I can not see your face.

Sky so blue

In a moment covered in clouds.

Where did they come from?

What is that song the rain sings?

When did those tears
 appear

to wash my dirty face?
