stuck, poked and tangled

Chasing dreams of flying,

i run through a field of butterflies and flowers.

  Then the petals fall off –

who knew –

 they would poked me through and through.

poodle and prickers

She tells me they are seeds,

( Bidens alba aka spanish needles, is an edible, medicinal, native weed, beloved of bees and butterflies)

but all i feel is the tangles as the comb catches them in it’s teeth.

so here is some food for thought –

when you are feeling stuck, or poked

and you’re all tangled up,

what are you gonna sprout?

webs

fear not the spider

whose web is woven across your path.

who knows what She has protected you from.

spider love upper right

or what love she has caught for You!

(give thanks for the mystery of live.)

wanting

wanting,

longing,

and asking,

are not the same.

but unless you know the language –

they can sound a lot alike.

listen deeply.

be generous.

give thanks.

friendship

it doesn’t matter your size –

or

the way you wear your hair,

we can live together

all that matters is that we share!

Trust.

Love.

Friendship happens.

weather

i have been feeling under the weather of late.

having lost the flexibility to feel like the weather

which is so changeable.

exhausted i make my way to the potting shed this morning –

oh Glory!

it is filled with rebellious trumpets that have sneaked in,

heralding joy and possibility,

and then a butterfly led me home.

dashing

the calico cat dashed past me

up the tree

as fast as could be.

 then She stopped.

and dropped

herself over a limb –

as if she had always been there.

so i watch this and wonder – about me…and about you:

Can you dash, then stop so completely?

Have You always been there?

Are you still dashing even though you look like you have stopped –

do you dash only to get to a point of rest?

perhaps you have other questions of rest and dashing?

dash me a comment – perhaps we can rest in several answers.
