Inhale Exhale

 wispy and lingering
clouds hover around mountain tops
as though a breath exhaled by the masters
inhaled by our eyes
dispersed in our bodies
exhaled through our pores
essence of life
shared by all

Winter's Joy

 rambling in the woods

crusty snow beneath my boots

cacophonous alarm

to sylvan dwellers near and far

dropping to my knees
treasuring what I spy 
winter crystals

a delightful
sight
~

 

a few days ago

following tracks in the woods

I stirred up a mammal that I have never seen

we think it is a mink or fisher

larger than a house cat:

2011

2011

when I feel into you
with soft eyes
an open heart
and
true spirit

found is the promise of new life
actions that bring harmony
to our world
and

inhabitants

rightful living
in balance
with the gift we have been given; life

I pledge to meet each day with a willing heart
to greet and treat each day
with honor and my best
to seek the highest ground 

and

cherish each breath

as we have faith in the rising and setting sun
I have faith in the heart
within all life
~

please join me in greeting a new year
with your lovely heart
and your beautiful spirit:
Welcome 2011!

it is winter here

yesterday I woke to -20F 

still, as we enter a new year

flowers feel perfect to me

new life

for Bill and his mom

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
~
