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.

self – reflections
somedays all my mirrors trigger my fears, until i see You, all i do is hiss.
Wisdom
they say Athena was wise… for she protected me. Now they say I am wise. sometimes that is a bit overwhelming for I am just a little bird, whoo sees at night…

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.

Spinning in Circles?
We don’t have to seek the answers outside – Somedays, it plays to go within. Like a Whirling Dervish – Presto! you just might find your own sacred tale.
circles and sips
Stop, and take a sip. we all drink from the same water.

size
I stood beside the tree, feeling small. The bird in the bush told me i was a giant, and the crow in the sky, laughed.
all folded
chop wood, carry water – wash clothes. folded habits sit in a stack. heads find pillows. day folds into night. be blessed. blessed be.

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.
