Rain

The weather is not in charge of our emotions,

Our response to it is!

Needy?

Have patience.

Give generously.

We are all growing.

Weaving

The scent of jasmine fills my nose,

But it doesn’t match the

Purple blooms that fill my eyes.

.

Friendship fills my ears and my heart.

I sit and watch the world weaving itself together.

Dancing

Spanish moss dangled before my eyes.

The sacred circus of life before me,

I watched a spider dance

The Spanish web.

Watching

While you are sleeping,

Remember,

Even in the cloud of your dreams,

You are always surrounded by Love.

Floating

It rained all night.

By morning

the middle of the yard was now a lake.

In the center of the water

floated a round pink ball.

At the edge,

The little white dog

Tilted her head…

Songs of spring

The rain stops for a moment and i venture outside into the wet dawn,

the sound is deafening!

The air is filled with frogs calling for Love…

But all I can see is the bottle brush tree,

As it has burst into song.

Sing

I stop at the sign,

And listen to a hymn of spring .

Heed the signs along your path,

Honor the small sabbath moments every day.

meet me at the garden gate

racoon & small white dog.jpg

 

it was nighttime after the rain,

they were from different cultures,

unexpectedly they met at the fence,

and although neither made a sound –

they had a moment.

and then turned around and walked away.

Cleaning

Gather together,

Pick up,

Clean up,

Everybody do your share…

Children’s rhymes ring in my head…

And the little girl covered in white fur is helping…
