Beware?

Beware?

Be MINDFUL!

snake in grass

The lesson of the snake in the grass is not one of treacherous deceit,

but simply where to put your feet!

Your path crosses many others,

we are all sisters and brothers.

choir

The rain has stopped

and all the frogs are singing songs of love.

frog pond songThe chorus astounds us with sound.

Love is in the air.

A soloist enters our home –

frog jump

What would it be like if we all sang songs of love?

What would it be like if we all sang them together?

“COME!” he commands,  “JOIN the CHOIR!”

Rivers

“Cry me a river?”

asked the crane to the sky.

And the sky seeing such beauty had to comply.

Steps

I look out beside my car

and there is a crane

walking,

as if to be a comma in this sentence of traffic.

walk not fly crane

But then he decided otherwise

and flew up,

an apostrophe?

or an apostle.

Studying an old study,

pondering an old pond,

Tao kitty reminds me that ponds, like studying,

may have still surfaces

that clearly need

greater reflection.
