Fly away

Posted on November 21, 2019 by eteal

The leaf hung

Swaying gently before me

Threads of silk catching the light

A small moth flutters away from the web

……………….

somedays, we also need to step away from the ties that might bind us.

Flexible but still

Dignified and erect

Connecting Heaven and Earth

on the corner of my chair.

My shoe?

In the treehouse

Posted on November 15, 2019 by eteal

Under a full moon

Still lingering in the morning sun

The cat meditated

Or maybe that was me…

And She just sat there

Aware

The sound of the dog

chewing

A goat’s horn

Calls me back home

To

You.

Every thing is Holy now.

Masks

Posted on November 11, 2019 by eteal

They say that real superheroes don’t wear masks…

I beg to differ.

What’s your super power?

What’s yours?
