Circled

Sometimes on a no good horrible day,

It helps to be encircled with Love.

And fur…..

Tiny lion

I open my car door,

And there in the tall grass

Is a tiny lion.

Everything reminds me of You.

Waking up

Posted on June 4, 2018 by eteal

Sometimes it is hard to wake up,

No matter how hard you want to,

Or what you are looking forward to!

Luckily, there are friends willing to help!

Enlightenment doesn’t happed all at once….

Sometimes we need patience, support…

And purrs and pups!

I heard the calling cawing,

And though i could not see You,

I knew You were here.

Radical Hospitality

Posted on May 31, 2018 by eteal

She came running up to me,

Her person, slightly embarrassed, on the other end of the leash,

Tail softly wagging,

Eyes gentle and kind.

.

We often think of hospitality as something that happens in homes

Or churches,

But today a little beagle mix taught me that hospitality

was a gift we walk around with wherever we are.

What a radical idea!

Darling

You can apparently,

Technically,

Catch and Keep a starling as a pet…in the U.S. of A.

Or so I have been told, as they are a non-native species of wildlife…

Of course there are, I suspect,

Permissions and permits….

But what of the consent of the bird?

I think I shall simply remain member of the congregation and listen to the choir.

Green

Posted on May 29, 2018 by eteal

The sky was darkening

And the leaves on the trees seemed to glow green.

A meow broke through the deafening sounds of the frogs…

And there She was!

Her eyes as green as the newest leaf

Her song of salvation sweet.

.

Let us rescue each other from the coming storm.

Ottoman

Posted on May 28, 2018 by eteal

Empires are claimed by those who occupy them…

But sometimes the denizens have to take a leap of faith

And jump to higher lands.

.

The littlest dog leap from the ottoman into the void

And as we gasped in wonder and fear,

She landed safely,

Clearing the arm of the sofa entirely, and landing on a cushion of comfort.

Meanwhile spying an unoccupied territory…..
