Rain Index
They tell you when it is going to rain, and still you pull ahead, into the tug of war between winter and spring. Relax into the space between the raindrops. You just might find some Grace overhead.

Cuddles
Somedays we all need to be held in the paws of the mother, and things will look better in the morning, or after a nap, of if you blink.

Pride
Proud of your prey you come home, but find we are not your true pride. and not all of us can accept you as You are. Never-the-less, We are Family.

i saw you today in a dream, and you were not in sheep’s clothing but it was not as it seems for i was awake at the time.
trying to be a tree
i stand pretending to grow my roots into the ground, looking for my center. i open my eyes.. and there You are, showing me the way.
