Oh So Delicious

Assimilate the beauty
the presence
of a flower
gobble it up
as though it be a
yummy snack
let it absorb into
and nurture every cell
of your body
your spirit
for it's beauty is your own


With joy in my heart, I wish you a wonderful Solstice!
With gratitude, I thank fathers everywhere for your unending presence
in your family and our world~

Farewell Beloved Spring

wandering the woods
tis the last day of spring
her beauty
is abundant
treasures fill my eyes
music as the trees sway
and the birds sing and sing

ummm
my first wild strawberries of the year
they are so tiny

tiny orchid with minuscule mama aphid and two youngsters
click on the photo to see them!
two other creatures also~

lovely
Queen's Cup

the most petite coral orchid

we lean into summer
farewell beloved Spring
~

Visible Grace

Visible grace

light
curves
and
colors
reflections
of within

She has No Walls

body of life in endless expression
spirit of life she has no walls
she'll quake and she'll shiver
asking you to deliver
she'll shimmer and breathe
with undulating ease
igniting within you
unimagined manifestations
for you are the artist
that paints with
the breath of life

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!

Dragonfly

Many lives
and faces
water to air
it graces

wings a mosaic beauty

enormous eyes
and lips
tis the season of the
dragonfly

The Grace of Flowers

In your presence
the world is vibrant
the air rarefied

In your presence
life is buoyant
light spilling over

a cheerful spirit runs through
my veins
in your presence
I am aware
of a life full of grace
