who nose?

Posted on June 17, 2012 by eteal

I do not know, do you?

I’ll ask the cat, how ’bout that?

I give thanks for noses, and knowing: feline and mine.

Claws

Posted on June 16, 2012 by eteal

a pause for claws……

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am grateful for claws that retract.

 

 

 

 

 

and those that don’t.

Dragons or Fairies

Posted on June 14, 2012 by eteal

Dragons or fairies, both fly to my rescue, again and again.

 

 

 

 

 

Myth you say, oh fly away,

I was here before you.

Bear with me

Posted on June 14, 2012 by eteal

Bear with me, please – I am no teddy, or plush panda – are you ready?

I can bare my heart as easily as teeth are bared, and I am grateful for growls,

 

But I would rather sit here.

In the cave of my heart, this bear is my love to you.

Sweet dreams for soon we awaken.

Grandmother Sponge

Posted on June 12, 2012 by eteal

Cradled in a bath of eternity,

Born in a sea of ancient DNA,

I am grateful for the life that flows thru me.

ouch!

Posted on June 12, 2012 by eteal

 

Why are there mosquitoes?

 

 

 

Some days it’s hard to find the blessing in the action.


 

  I am grateful that there is still mystery.

small balls of soot

Posted on June 10, 2012 by eteal

I am grateful for small balls of soot,

abused, neglected or abandoned,

 

 

 

 

 

who run away from the gates of hell,

into the arms of love.

chicken & scared

Posted on June 10, 2012 by eteal

Please don’t call others chicken when you are scared

for I am curious.

Why take anyone’s name in vain?

Today I am grateful for pullets, who pull from me deeper meanings in every day life.

Fly, not in my soup.

Posted on June 8, 2012 by eteal

I am grateful for sea turtles in the sea,

not in my soup.

Whose trust in the waves

inspires me to dive deep.

 

 

Fly, be free.

Going slow

Posted on June 8, 2012 by eteal

Go slow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And look life straight in the I.

 

 

Go forth.

Go for your dreams.

 

 

 

 

 

I am grateful for Gopher Tortoises and Contented Turtles
