Scared


Her whole world came crashing down.

She was in a new home now.

Her person, the one who took her everywhere, 

Started to go nowhere…

She just stayed in bed…

Until she couldn’t even do that anymore…

And now this tiny furr shadow needs to learn to trust enough to come out into the light.

And slowly, She is.

Bones

We all seem to have bones to pick these days…

Some we pick up, some we pick at…

Some we share…

.

The little dog took the big dog’s bone,

Then a dog friend came over, and took the big bone from the little dog….

This went on for a while, back and forth…

But the real lesson is in all our bones.

In our very marrow…..

.

Share.

Gifts


A childhood you

Long since abandoned…

Lost to corners or perhaps under a sofa….

Who keeps score or house?

A tiny paw pries open the past..

The memories flood … from out of who knows where,

A tiny paw captures a moment….

Gotta catch em all?

There is no way to capture Love…

We can only give and receive…

And evolve.

Fire of life


Bright red, like flora feathers..

They burst forth reaching for the light…

And they are filled with tiny green frogs!

We are born of fire and water, air and earth.

Cleanliness 

 

Clean is Good.

Cleanliness is Godliness,

Cleaning up requires diligence,

All yoga requires daily practice.

Don’t forget to clean your ears….

Up and down


The grass grows up,

The rain comes down,

The little dog runs all around.

Tiny moments 


In a tiny moment,

On a small piece of paper,

Light and shadow,

Sit together.

As do i with You.

Breakfast 


The cat poured onto the table 

Like the milk

Poured over the cereal…

Like Love pours over the world….

Zazen


There in the yard ….

While I sat,

You sat.

I tried not to stare,

You made no such effort.

Rise or set


Moment to moment all around the globe

Sunrises and sunsets,

The dark leaps forward,

As does

The ever present light.
