beside my home, on a plot of no man’s land,
there is a dead tree
that has been tall and empty,
save for the occasional woodpecker stopping by for supper.
but today
in the rain
new tenants moved in!
they are proficient house keepers –
keeping things neat and tidy –
model neighbors reminding me of what is really important:
they only take what has been given, and whatever is given they freely receive.
Trusting the abundance of the world
and her generative powers –
Peace Eagles remind me of mine.
amazing! i could hear the flutter and the beautiful bashing together of beaks
