Peace time

Posted on August 9, 2015 by eteal

walking around a fort,

a castle,

walking around a prison,

walking around

where there was once fear and uniforms,

now are tired feet and costumes.

the air is filled with suntan lotion and hope.

st augie pittie

and there You are,

grinning a grin of truth.

Peace is possible.

boxed perspectives

Posted on August 8, 2015 by eteal

to be able to put things in the correct perspective,

the art teacher says to put everything in a box.

cat & paws & boxes

but somehow the idea that i must box everything up,

seems contrary

to gaining perspective…..

Higher Arcs

Posted on August 6, 2015 by eteal

 We silly humans

put each other up on pedestals,

or ourselves

under them.

we are all intertwined,

the tree is circled with the vine,

the bird at the top

cleans

the forest floor.

we are all needed,

like never before.

places to go

Posted on August 5, 2015 by eteal

the laundry leopard –

panther of my lap,

leaps

off

without warning.

small black cat jumping

“why?” i ask startled by the sudden departure…

“Places to go, things to see” came the reply.

“How can that be?”

“when there is only here?” i wonder…..

“True, there is only Here,

but You are everywhere!

thus,

i got places to go, people to see.”

meanwhile i am left finding God in the folds of fresh laundry.

Sometimes,

when you really want something

you have to stretch.

wisdom

a circle in the sun

and a sound from someone

who speaks of dawn and dusk.

This is wisdom,

our job it simply one of translation.

writing lesson

Posted on July 31, 2015 by eteal

i sit

trying to work.

trying to write.

to write words that speak

to higher and lower places of longing and belonging.

pim on my lap while i try to write

You sit

on my lap.

simply sitting.

having no care for words at all.

no longer longing, simply belonging.
