Wired
Suddenly the corridor was filled with fox terriers! And I felt like Myna Loy….. Joyously dancing in the the mystery, Surrounded by love, In the hallway of an office building.

Flight
She came in a sat, Just like that. Why is it so thrilling to have a great predator soar across the sun?
Perched
On a fallen limb A songbird perched And sang a song as sweet as if She was on the highest tree.

Presence/Presents
The dew was still on the leaves, And Into my sight You flew. The gifts of transformation are all around us, always. Receive them with Grace.

Togetherness
You are everywhere look, And everywhere I go….. But, Even though I know you are always watching….. When I sit on the porcelain chair, Even though I know You’re there… You may NOT sit in my lap.

Manners
The chrysanthemums push up their purple faces, Gentlemen all, as they declare their love for the bee and butterfly. Patiently they wait, smiling at the sun, While the bee and bugs smile at everyone.
Falling
The little dog lay on the warm cement as Bits of the sky fluttering down all around her… How wonderful!
Rustle
The bamboo sways The grasses rustle… I can not see who is there… Is it You? . Dogs, and cats, and lizards, and frogs, The smallest flying bugs, All answer, Yes!

Home sick
Curled up in my bed, I am surrounded, By love Curled up in my bed.
