we all need to be listened to……… and fed.

max awaits dinner

one feeds the soul, the other feeds the body.

A bird in a tree….

Posted on November 13, 2014 by eteal

the bird in the tree

is singing to the dog.

bird in tree dog on ground

I do not know the lyrics,

but it does not seem to be a lullaby…..

yet he goes to sleep anyway.

No matter the tune being sung,

it is as important to dream as it is to wake-up.

Contrary?

cupboard spider

A small spider surprised me today –

Not with woven words nor by sitting beside me while i ate curds and whey –

 it was a day filled with surprises –

small miracles in unexpected places.

she looked up at me.

and i looked up at her,

even thought my gaze was lowered.

what a wonderful being is a guinea pig!

How perfect and compact.

How happy filled her chirps are –

how amazing her tiny feets.

A starter pet?

Don’t be silly!

ALL LOVE IS FOREVER.

i heard a call this morning

it came from a tree,

a bird sang it –

a startling?

calling me home wherever i am –

city, suburb, country –

forest or park,

i hear the call,

calling me –

 home.

boundaries

Posted on November 6, 2014 by eteal

down the street

there is a cat

who sits outside her fence.

Both sides are mine, she says –

but on one side is a small chihuahua,

two toddlers and two tall humans.

Fences are not the same as boundaries….

sometimes you need to cross one to maintain the other.
