Boxes

Sometimes

You need to play outside of the box.

Friends

It is not your size,

Or the size of your dreams,

But the freedom to dream them in peace

That is the hope of beings everywhere .

May all beings know peace.

The moon in the morning

From morning til night,

reflected the light.

Shine bright.

Triptychs and trinities

I went to church today

The dome was brilliant blue

The water holy

And the pelican passed by

accepting communion,

As did i,

For all was You.

Holiday Gatherings

The yard was filled with chickens

And the odd duck…

Traveling

On the road,

Sitting in traffic

Behind a trailer

Containing a small Florida cracker steer

standing, gazing about, alert and relaxed…

We seemed to catch each other’s eye…

Where are you going this solstice night?

He moved aside,

Revealing a smaller young donkey.

Ah, I said…

You, like I am, a minister

And we are both scheduled for services.

.

The moon is full,

The night is long,

And hope is renewed in the coming dawn.

puppy

Oh little pointy eared puppy,

The fur on your chest makes a fluffy heart!

A reminder of where we all must start

When we begin to train,

To name and explain,

To raise You up with Love.

And so it is with all beings,

Including our own inner puppies….

Growing and longing

He used to be my pocket panther,

Now he surfs the countertops,

Seeking nibbles of kibbles

Then leaps into my lap,

And overflows it!

Next he jumps out the door,

Taking my heart with Him every time!

Nouns: proper

This is a dog named Squirrel.

I wonder if somewhere there is a squirrel named Dog…

.

No matter,

We all share the same surname.

Goose

The Christmas goose has arrived

On the lawn

From Canada

And She shall not be cooked.
