Super

Posted on September 20, 2018 by eteal

little boy proudly showed the poodle

A story about super heroes.

And there on page,

He had drawn everyone as super…

Including the poodle.

But most importantly

Himself.

.

Be the hero of your story.

Agility class

Posted on September 19, 2018 by eteal

Today we learned to leap

To leap around corners

To arch up into the air

like a rainbow

And shine.

One must be agile to navigate this course we call Life.

Pathway

Posted on September 18, 2018 by eteal

silver strands crossed the path.

ephemera shimmering in the light trapped me.

the butterfly glided effortlessly between gossamer threads

And showed me the way.

Friendship

Posted on September 17, 2018 by eteal

They met on common ground,

One feral,

One domestic.

She bowed,

She rolled…

And a great friendship ensued.

.

Do not believe those who tell you who to love,

Or who to hate,

Who to friend and who to fight.

Friendship is precious,

It’s never too late.

Salvation

Posted on September 16, 2018 by eteal

A day of reflections at the beach,

Where the wet sand mirrored the sky,

And the eastern clouds reflected the sunset.

.

Two people were married as two people walking their dogs looked on.

And a little girl picked up a fish

Floundering above the tide line

And carried it back to the sea.

And the world was saved.

Again.

.

Reflect Love.

She greeted me softly

Wagging Her tail,

Gazing at me with eyes the color of warm molasses

Being lit by the sun.

.

Oh Shepherd,

Thank you.

.

Remember to greet everyone with gentle kindnesses.

Light posts

Posted on September 14, 2018 by eteal

The gal at the desk was talking about a crow that had adopted a horse

While

The man, cradling an injured crow in his heart,

The actual bird being cared for by the veterinarians in the back,

Tells a tale of mystery and care.

And my heart flies back to my grandfather

And a crow that lived In the rafters of the barn…

Swooping down to sit on his shoulder every morning

While he fed the horses of my childhood.

.

I am engulfed with the stories of possibilities.

And freedom.

And healing.

.

I go to the grocery

And at the top of the lamppost

A familiar voice caws to me.

.

No harbinger of death,

But a call to life!

No song of mourning,

But a caw to awaken each morning

To compassion,

To community,

To love.

.

Keeeekeeekeee

Posted on September 13, 2018 by eteal

Do you see a picture of a bird?

Or

Do You see a picture of the sky?

.

Why?

.

The cries of the hawk,

Filled the skies….

Awakening all that could hear Her

Keeekeeeeekeeeeee.

.

I look up.

I pick up my brush and paint.

Blue skies

Posted on September 12, 2018 by eteal

I cradle a small dog in my arms,

Echos of another small dog refract in the chambers of my heart

While shards of suffering fall away.

I dream of blue skies

While the big dog has my back.

.

In dreams, We heal. together.

The spider drops down beside Her,

(No Miss Muffet am I)

Dangling there from her hair

She watches ,

Hoping not to get bit.

As the lawn fills with crows.

Who knows what any of these means?

A zebra long wing sips from the daisy-like flower of the Spanish needle

amidst the slender daggers of its seeds.
