Blessings

Posted on August 9, 2013 by eteal

Rainbow threads glisten in the trees,

butterflies land on my forehead,

and a chorus of juvenile cardinals

rejoices!

How can I doubt that i am blessed!

how can you?

Listening

Posted on August 8, 2013 by eteal

I hear You

Perspectives from the porch.

Posted on August 4, 2013 by eteal

Today I was rescued from a milk jug.

actually –

I was living in a milk jug – but you needed it for water,

and

so I was evicted from my home.

and yet

I still find myself at home.

here with You.

Guardian of the Gate

Posted on August 3, 2013 by eteal

No, there will be no aggression.

What I guard is far too precious to protect with violence.

Open the gate

and

come in.

expectations and metaphors

Posted on August 2, 2013 by eteal

What?

You think I should be in the grass?

Why work so hard to understand? –

but do be mindful when you stop and smell the flowers……

i am not good.

Nor am i evil.

I am here.

My fierce friend

Posted on August 1, 2013 by eteal

I had a friend –

we called her Rabbit

They named her Cynthea.

no one asked her what she called herself –

I think it might have been:

She who is fiercely gentle

at least that is what she kept telling me –

I am Fiercely Gentle.

but perhaps it was simply advice.

A song from above

Posted on July 31, 2013 by eteal

A song from above

a hallowed chant

reminding me

that Bards are everywhere

and barred only by our blindness –

LOOK UP!

The song you hear

is ours!
