Perspectives and hope

Posted on June 17, 2019 by eteal

The thing you want is some times

Out of reach,

Above your head

Or out of sight…

Patience little one,

Bones will fall from the sky

The sun will come out after the rain.

Heard/Herd

Posted on June 16, 2019 by eteal

Out standing in a field…

Let yourself be seen,

And herd/heard.

Flights

Posted on June 15, 2019 by eteal

The bird stood in the center of the two lane road,

Taking flight

As cars from both directions passed.

Some sort of sacred dance had occurred …

And somehow were all we’re blessed by it.

.

There are more directions than simply coming and going,

There is more to travel than arriving and leaving.

Listening

He sat listening to all the colors of the evening,

Be ready to answer the song of the trees.

Message from the paddock

As I drove onto the farm

He came running to greet me

Me

A complete stranger!

.

A reminder from the universe:

Practice Radical hospitality

A denizen of the sky and tree

Swooped low to visit me

Oh, Holy, Holy, Holy

Abandoned

Posted on June 10, 2019 by eteal

The door closed,

The people walked away.

The little dog was left on the other side…

..

All alone?

Forgotten?

.

No,

Just misplaced.

.

You came back!

I’m saved!

.

Sometimes salvation

Is as simple as opening a door.

.

Sometimes salvation

Is as simple as remembering You are never forgotten.

Accident

Posted on June 7, 2019 by eteal

I saw a county K-9 patrol car

Smash into the end of a tan trainer

Today.

Right in front of my eyes.

People emerged from the vehicles.

Running in to see if all was okay…

And running around trying to control the situation…

As if that was possible to do without paying attention and being present….

I waited until the working dog came out of the crumpled car

Holding his Kong in his mouth.

Our eyes met for a moment….

Is this a drill?

No, this is life.
