Curiosity

Posted on January 7, 2019 by eteal

I thought the cat was staring at clod of dirt,

She was joined by the dog,

They sat there staring

Curious

I came and stared too.

And then I saw You!

.

We are designed to be curious,

I toad You

We are amazing.

Heralds

Posted on January 6, 2019 by eteal

The cardinal flew into the branches of the mock cherry tree,

Its branches black against the blue,

It is not yet Spring,

But the world blooms with possibilities.

Owl song

Posted on January 4, 2019 by eteal

Entering into the space between night and day,

The owls sang the song of dusk or dawn.

It is always night,

Always day.

.

Who are You in these continuous moments of change

Oh unchanging One?

Who am I?

Oh.

It starts to ….dawn

He stood there,

Head cocked,

The door wide open,

Waiting for the invitation.

Come!

Come here!

You too, are invited.

Run!

Posted on December 30, 2018 by eteal

Duck.

Duck.

Goose …

Run!

Oh, you read from left to right…

.

How you expect and experience life may not be in the same order as others

expect

Or

experience

.

Slow down,

be patient,

Sit down.
