Seek and you will find,

Even if those around you do not know what you are looking for.

Alert

Posted on February 11, 2018 by eteal

Alert and aware.

Not the same thing as watching.

I could pounce at any moment….

Could you?

*

Don’t be a bystander….

Engage!

When the moment comes..

Pounce!

Stop yelling

Posted on February 10, 2018 by eteal

Stop yelling at me,

Oh ,

You weren’t yelling at ME?

Sorry,

It just felt that way,

But that would be

About me…

.

I didn’t realize You were singing.

Prom

Posted on February 10, 2018 by eteal

The poodle went to prom tonight,

And magical it was.

.

Never forget the importance of feeling special.

At this prom,

Everyone was a king or queen…

And everyone was truly special…

.

So when someone says special education…

Please remember what this poodle always knows..

Everyone is really royalty.

.

We are all stars,

And each of us are called by name.

The park

Posted on February 8, 2018 by eteal

Bicycles whizzed past,

Dogs barked,

And children played.

But the birds,

As if knowing they were in Eden,

Grazed and gazed, feathers unruffled.

.

If those that can so easily take flight remain,

I too, am reminded to stay grounded.

Him

Posted on February 6, 2018 by eteal

A slim black cat came into my life, suddenly.

Thus his name – Presto.

He did not purr.

For three years.

But then he did.

.

Presto pees like a panther,

Standing,

Tail straight up,

A gush of urine saturating

The tree, or bush…

(or sofa or bookcase in his misspent youth.)

He is HERE.

.

Prowling.

Purring.

.

He has my whole heart…

.

Perhaps because he has given himself so completely to the wild world.

True Story

Posted on February 5, 2018 by eteal

My dog ate my homework,

Then her older brother stepped on my rice paper…

After running outside in the mud.

I give thanks for both of them.

This is real.

This is true.

What did I create during my meditation?

Peace and forgiveness.

Bubbles

Tiny bubbles of Love

Float up…

Effervescent and fragile…

Handle with care.
