queen calico on tummy throne

the calico queen

returned to her throne today!

huzzah, whoopee and hooray!

She reached out with sheathed claw

and i was royally touched.

Although She is a true monarch,

and rules by divine decree –

i her willing subject

follow her with glee.

poodle paw with taby kitten taili watched as the poodle chased the kitten

all over the meadow,

and

 up and down two trees,

until they finally lay down together,

exhausted,

gently touching.

sticks

Posted on May 14, 2016 by eteal

walking stick insectin the sacred story of my life,

i try to love more than fear –

so i can see snakes and ropes –

but what of sticks and bugs!

even the solid oak has acolytes who mimic her….

as do we of You.

.

i am moved today by how things move,

and how my perceptions shift with every breath –

oh Great Spirt, what wonders You are,

and what wonders you gift me with daily.
