Caught in Flight

Posted on November 11, 2019 by eteal

The beat of wings

A swoop

A splash

The silver shimmer curved gracefully in the talons of a great bird

We are all caught by that which is greater than we

Chose whose dinner you wish to be with Grace

Breathe in

Posted on November 9, 2019 by eteal

Some put their noses to grindstones,

Some hold them twitching in air,

Some make a mad dash

Some saunter and stroll

And some quietly sniff here

And there…

……….

No matter their manner,

Or style

Or demeanor

They are alert to the spice of life.

…….

Breathe deep,

Trust.

Follow

Love.

You’re scared?

No,

I’m scared

No.

the infection known as fear is

Highly contagious

The only inoculation is Compassion

Vaccinate yourself daily with Kindness.

Sip

Posted on November 7, 2019 by eteal

A large brown hand emerged from the cup,

‘Sup?

Wake up!

….

Who was more surprised,

You or I,

But the message is clear…

We can’t go back to sleep

Sip deep from life

And keep your head above water.

Spirited Purrpose

Posted on November 7, 2019 by eteal

When you feel your spirit is darkening

Face into the light

Search your shadow

And heal.

………..

Purrhaps use a sacred text, or mantra, or song.

Cats purr in pleasure and in pain…

Your guru may just be at the window,

Or in your lap.

Called

Posted on November 4, 2019 by eteal

She heard her name called

She looked where the sound was coming from,

She heard her name called and the cue

Come

The request

Come

The invitation

Come

She looked where the call was coming from

Then

She looked back at me…

You’re coming too right?

Come.

Time change

Posted on November 3, 2019 by eteal

The sun comes up

The moon comes up

The sun sets

The moon sets

But everywhere there are stars

And naps…

Time shifts

Dreams remain

Rest

Posted on November 3, 2019 by eteal

After work,

After play,

Rest.

Sabbaths look like many things…

Remember them

They are holy.

Leaping

Posted on November 1, 2019 by eteal

As I stride through the grasses

Tiny lizards leap ahead of me…

I do not mean to disrupt their morning

Nor is it my intention to instill fear with my step…

………

Babies!

As the green glints off your tiny bodies,

I am filled with joy.

………

Please help me to walk your path with my feet,

To follow my path,

With yours…

…..

Being a giant to so so many,

Why do we feel so small?

Looking up at the sky,

I know why…

We are both big and small,

And we are all

A part of the All.
