 There was a moment lying With you in the glory of skin Where I was transported to a sense of OKness You were both beautifully and vulnerably you In that moment And also Like all of the Divine OKness was also Embodied by Us In the interaction of just being there There was nothing more I needed in that moment But perhaps To offer you the gratitude That my voice Would not speak Because I was afraid that if I opened my mouth and said so that You would Run away that You would Not believe That in that moment It was perfect .... I'm sorry I could not say so .... Thank you For that one precious moment Of letting me know that it's OK .... It's OK And I want you to know that too ....

 Deep Winter Ice undoubtedly feels itself to be solid and cohesive Holding through even the Sunny days of Winter Noting without concern the water flowing beneath .... Deep Winter Ice .... Looks like it will hold us when we step onto it And for a moment This is true And then there becomes a time When our steps must become cautious and we hang back The Ice itself notices The thinness That it is feeling The way that water moving beneath them feels swifter and Less languid more urgent .... And that Sun While welcomed by the birds that are singing now And the trees that are somehow crackling Is making The ice also crack Crack apart crack open The thin places breaking Washing away .... .... I wonder how that is To be the Ice I wonder if the Ice Understands that it is simply part of the River And in a moment held by circumstance And then released .... .... I watch the shifting of the Ice on the River And feel its flow clunky still .... Will that Ice make a journey to a more open space or will it simply Become River before it gets there And even as I imagine that expanse of Water in my mind's eye I realize That Ice or Water The River Has opened itself To this new horizon .... ....  Looking at that Daisy, that tiny Daisy really no bigger than my thumb, white with just a hint of a flush or a blush .... nestled on the hillside, a very modest hillside, but there amongst its family, a whole community really of other tiny little Daisies .... in that expanse of green grass, rising up the gentle slope, overlooking the water, the expanse of ocean. I wonder if the Daisy can see that far. But what the Daisy seems to be looking at is beyond that, is the blue of the Sky, face turned toward the warmth, the Sunshine, open, receiving. I imagine that Daisy basking in the Sun .... leaves held open, drinking in the Sun and the life-giving Water from the soil. And that's all. Just being Daisy .... There on the Hill, the most gentle of hills, hardly worth rolling down, but lovely to perch on the bottom of, and look up to enjoy the Daisies without crushing them .... ~

And have also heard him talk about a moment that spurred him to spend one year noting Delights that he encountered every day and writing a little essay, in longhand, about those moments. One of his takeaways from this year of noticing Delights was that when you attune yourself, you will find that there is Delight, maybe not everywhere but in everyday there is something that can Delight us. Even some of the more challenging things in our days can carry moments that Delight us, drawing us back .... To remembering that even in hardship Delights continue to happen in the world. Sometimes it's a matter of noticing and sometimes is the matter of changing perspective, of looking at something from a slightly different angle. Sometimes .... it's simply having our eyes open when the Delight flashes by .... .... I have been savouring The Book of Delights .... And learning to savour the moments of delight that I encounter in my own days .... ~

Well not exactly nothing, there was a Great Wind, the essence of Source. And out of that Wind .... God called into existence Light and Water and Land. God took dirt, dust from the Earth, added Water and started to form like a clay, shaping a being that could walk on the Earth. And using that breath, that Great Wind, God, Source, blew life Into the adam, the human created out of Earth and Water .... When we connect to the Earth, when we ground to the Earth we ground to the stuff of ourselves. When we drink the Water when we connect to the Water, we are connecting to the stuff of ourselves. And each breath, each breath is a breath of the Divine, is a breath of Source .... A breath of ourselves .... So each time we connect, each time we breathe, we are reconnecting to the Source of our selves .... Replenishing, renewing .... .... Inhaling that Breath of Life, Grounding to our very Mother ....The stuff of whom we are made comes from the Earth .... The Waters that flow, flow through us .... .... When we heal the Earth we heal ourselves. When we heal Water we heal ourselves. And when we heal ourselves we heal the Earth and we heal the Water .... .... Source breathed us into being. And so we breathe. And we breathe .... until we stop breathing and return to Source .... .... Inhaling I breathe in God. Exhaling God breathes in me .... .... ~
