Jewels of Rain and More

 the joys of spring are amongst us

a few precious Fairy Slippers thrive upon the forest floor

raindrops capture setting sun light

forest mushroom choose a tree stump for their home

dandelions cloak the earth

precious orchids give me delight

entering a meadow

one never knows whom they will find

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
~

Seeds and Mist in Morning Light

dandelion seeds
adorned
in fancy droplets of mist
spheres that hold
morning light
lean in close
for the cloak between realms lifts
behold
a province of treasure
and
precious light

Choices

life presents choices

chances
an assortment of paths
kiss this one
or that one
with our eyes
hands
or lips


wander this way or that way
will these paths intersect
or
wander so far beyond
that we'll never look back

there is this flower that flower
this trail or that

this rock or that rock
shinny and wet

whether we choose book binding
wild dancing
cook a la passionate
writer of tales
this or that

such a wild wonderful
moment
in the midst of a choice
the ability to decide
this way or that


look deeply
and sweetly
innocently
just perhaps
each moment
presents such a occasion

Happy Birthday Charlie!

Inhale

I drove up the North Fork to glimpse Larry's Cabin going up.
The logs went up in one day!
I think it would be grand to see the sky through the roof regularly.

Once a beautiful day is inhaled
it becomes part of you
the scent
permeates every cell
and lives on in your footsteps
