Flock

Posted on March 26, 2018 by eteal

The rain stopped.

And as I stepped outside,

A small flock of small birds

Exploded

From the bush beside me,

Into to the freshened day.

Sabbaths

Posted on March 25, 2018 by eteal

some of us,

need a nap…

some of us

need reflection…

But all need sabbaths,

However they might look.

Listen to wisdom,

But follow your heart.

…

They should never conflict….

If they do… listen harder,

Follow gently.

She comes to me

Posted on March 24, 2018 by eteal

She comes to me

All earth and dirt,

And loam and leaf,

Bits of the brightest tender vines entwine her hair-

Mud covers her paws.

I pick her up,

Clasping her to my tunic

In hopes the stain will lift my spirits.

Peace and quiet

Posted on March 23, 2018 by eteal

Two cats on sofa

Peace and quiet

Is not necessarily peaceful…

Even if quiet…

But it is a place to start.

.

When we sit together in opposite directions

We can not meet eye to eye,

Nor heart to heart.

.

But sometimes simply sitting together

Even in opposition

Can be a step toward Peace.

Help

Posted on March 22, 2018 by eteal

Outside the veterinarian’s office,

The large crow limped at the edge of the parking lot

Before flying off into the trees.

.

Asking for help is so hard.

Ask anyway.

Stop

Stop,

In the name of Love.

Cuddle.

Calm.

Take a moment to

Stop in the name of Love.

Classics

Posted on March 18, 2018 by eteal

A classic red barn with bright white trim caught my eye.

A bright white horse stood beside it.

Church looks different to each of us. Go where you heart leads. Worship there.

running

Posted on March 18, 2018 by eteal

labrador visiting dog

She grabbed the leash in her hand,

a smile breaking across her face,

the dog was almost as tall as she was –

and together they ran out the door.

luckily the dog had a very good recall.

.

we are tethered together by Love —

follow the call,

run!
