Lovely Solstice to One and All

mystical in your subtle colors
sky and land
soft blues
grays
whites
expand
trees laden in fluffy snow
heart quiets
to meet a calmness
quite grand
winter solstice has arrived
light more light
in the land
~

 

I wish you a wonderful holiday season

and beyond

~

Let It Shine

 

come close to the light

that illuminates life

let it shine upon your flesh

seep inside your bones

flavor thoughts

and

actions

let it dance as your muse

animating your spirit

fulfilling desire

come close

~

Meld ~

it is your spirit
your breath
your body
and moods
that have my attention

your rhythms
and stance
your colors
that enhance
my life

it is the vigor born with exchange of our breath
that draws me near

your vast wild ways
and
 intricate beauty 

inspire me 

to hold your hand
letting the edges of my being 

meld with yours

Apprentice for a Season

To all of you, by friends of blogland

I thank you for your caring friendship and wonderful visits!

When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of gratitude. 

I feel grateful for each of you. 

Thank you for being in my life. 

Tammie

opening slowly
with quiet listening

my heart greets winter

taking in the details of each day
and night

temperatures that drop

severly

a blanket of snow that cloaks all life


I will be your apprentice
feeling with my heart

listening with

ears and eyes

blending with my
skin and spirit


I invite you
into my dreams
lift my spirit to take flight
into the realm of winter wonderland


in this season
what will you instill in me

Pause ~

 pause
to rest in the quiet places
both within yourself
and in the world around
sense and follow your breath
perhaps consider
that your breath
is the same breath
that inhabits
each lovely flower
and then each seed

and

Autumn Mist ~

we are contained
within a vessel that we call body
and so our spirits energy is quite tangible
a strong presence to get to know

without a body
it might be more obvious
that we are connected
completely blended
dancing
like mist
to all energy
all life
imagine that

perhaps it is our vessel that fools us
for a moment
or a lifetime
into thinking
we are separate

A Welcoming Embrace ~ Grace

a welcoming embrace

there is a grace within the spirit
of your wild and rugged beauty
a grandeur
in the immensity of your mountains deep and high
you inspire stepping out of time
a spaciousness settles in
expands
an embrace so complete
that the wild
becomes
who
I am

Water, a Precious Gift ~

raindrops bathing in sunlight

fluid life of water

an entirely mutable dance
raining from the sky up high
seeping into earth below
quenching thirst of tree and bee
flower deer you and me
all the food and drinks
we eat
released again
to our earth beneath
an entirely mutable
and
precious
dance

Blog Action Day

this years subject is 'water'.

Water is entirely precious, essential and part of every bit of our bodies

and all life. 

To deeply appreciate what water is to our lives, is to care for its health.

As I write this post, there are over 4,000 blogs that will be honoring water in one way or another. 

You can join in, visit: Blog Action Day, sign up, and honor water on your blog, in your way.

From the Earth We Do Rise

 

from the earth we do rise

born of spirit and earth

we are

a wee tiny baby

potential to grow

on and on

eating breathing drinking

from the bosom

of mother and earth

from the earth we do rise

bodies made from this planet

filled with eternal spirit

Fragrance of Mullein~

have you ever smelled
a mullein flower
it's scent is guaranteed
to make something inside
swirl and twirl
with a need to lean in close
for another inhalation

Snyder Lake, Glacier National Park

along your shore
touching the edges of your waters
letting the air
through a sensuous breeze
caress
permeate my flesh
change my spirit

do purify
all thoughts
born anew
in you

Autumn Equinox

spirit of the wild surrounds me
held in a clouds embrace

howling wind
lifts and blows
revealing vast horizons
valleys mountains
forests turning golden
fog clouds rain hail
wind the paint brush
spirit of the wild

on the threshold of Autumn

weather changes every moment

colors dance as leaves take flight

it is a lively and wild time

wishing you a lovely Autumn

in my last post I offered 3 greeting cards from my Spirithelpers 

website to the person who could tell me what the tiny red 

fungi were. 

Cobi from Paddestoelengek guessed:

I think they are Scutellina scutellata.

I think that is what they are too, thanks to the help from my 

fungi teacher, Larry Evans, from Fungal Jungle.

Congratulations Cobi!

I thank everyone for joining in the fun and guessing!

Do You Love Fungi?

this is one gorgeous fungi season

the enchanting creatures are popping up everywhere

is in the morning light

I have never seen this second photo, the orange red one

it is quite tiny.

Be the first person to tell me what it is

in the comment section 

and you can visit my webstore:

Spirithelpers

and choose 3 greeting cards, as a thank you from me!

 

I have been eating these wonderful little puff  balls, cooked,

they have a nutty flavor that I love.

But don't take my word on them being edible, 

do your research! Get to know them, yum. 

Or just enjoy there wonderful form for viewing.

here is another photo of the mushroom that I want to know the name of

this photo shows the size better

Jelly Fungi ~

finding orange jelly fungi
cuddled as it should
with the lovely forest clover
life is just so good

P.S.
I just bought my first cord of wood, anyone want to help me chop the big pieces
and stack it up? ha
Only three more cords to go.....
It will feel so good to be prepared for winter.

Choices

so many choices rise
as I browse through yesterdays photography
of my time in 
Glacier National Park
sunsets
rocks beneath water
rising mountains in their majesty

a friend once shared with me
having an option
a choice
is such a grand thing
a sense of freedom
to live ones dream
so I choose to share nature's beauty
with you

endlessly

Thank you Dan

Empty

behold
in you
infinite new life
creative possibilities
a breath that has never been lived
ever before
empty for stillness to permeate
then inspire
because
the invisible world
of endless possibilities awaits

to be born
in your breath
your hands
from the depth of your heart
passion of your belly
let the breath of life rise
and animate
abundant possibilities
