Garden wild

6/26/2021

I don't mean to moon the sun
but my bare back-side revels in this openness of seeing the wind

For a moment I delight in the fantasy that a crow has stolen my pen
a fair trade for the use of this knoll, this perch above the pond
I get the better deal
both my mistake
and these damsel flies dancing around my feet
followed by a white butterfly

Gratitude is only the first word
In the language of this place I offer my breath as thanks
as promise
to be be alive in the world
to succumb to arousal

I finally begin to understand how I am to love
and at every moment of doubt
a hummingbird arrives in response
so close I could cup her in my hands

Balance... shift

6/17/2021

0 Comments

To hold in tender balance both the truth of what is and our aspirations for what can be. We hold Righteous anger at injustice. And, that possible World, a place of Justice and Beauty that we live in

We hold .... The sighs of our own bodies .... And the joys .... of Having the energies and capacities to run and play and work .... It's a tender balance, not a tension. Not that they pull against each other or hold the equilibrium because of that

But .... A Balance. A both and. A truth and a truth. And while one truth may be more present and more evident, it does not negate the reality of the other Truth. And my task is to bring that other Truth into equal focus first. To hold them in balance as equally true. And then to walk towards .... The truth that is current longing. Beautiful world. Justice. Full and complete health. Beauty and joy. They are all there ....

And once I hold the balance, it’s a simple shifting of weight to get it to tumble .... Towards the aspiration Into the future of our choosing ....

And so I breathe and I breathe Bringing myself into the Balance
And then I Shift ....

Gloriously cloudy day

Sometimes the fiery pink and grey
drama of post-storm clouds comes into
re-being through letters and words drawn
together In the same way that droplets
of water drew together and hung

over the land Caught by the edge
of the setting Sun just as they started to fall ....
Sometimes those storming clouds re-manifest
through photons and pixels images that
nonetheless fail to capture the true breadth

and glory but speak something
of their magnitude and magnificence ....
And yet again Sometimes those roiling
colourful Sun kissed Sun blessed
clouds that have let go of their pent up

energy and poured that out over the land ....
is re-formed becomes into re-being
In my belly Flowing through me As
I draw in the electricity the energy ....
And sometimes A cloud Is just a cloud

Hovering on the edge of the sky ....
Drawing in and releasing Drawing in
and releasing a gathering that Merges
and Disperses .... .... Sometimes When
I look in to the blue blue sky that holds

a single sheeps wool cloud .... I hear
the sheep And feel the wool in my fingers ....
Wondering at that air-born animal and what
it must be like to see the Earth from
that vantage And I look down at my feet

and wonder At the green grass And
whether to the ant that grass looks
like a great forest And whether
to the grass they look up at that sheep
in the sky And wonder if one day they too

will be subsumed And taken and then
scattered .... .... And sometimes a Cloud
is just a cloud Smeared across the sky
as if The dust from a chalkboard were simply
blown and stuck In a swirl in a wave

in a breath Hardly anything and you
squint to see if what you're seeing
is a cloud Or the breath of a Being
breathing into the cold cold air A sky
giant A sky angel Or maybe the Sky

itself breathing breathing .... And sometimes
a cloud is just a cloud Photo bombing
my Sunny day .... A joyful giggle A laughter
To say here I am That’s all Here
I am Here in this beautiful day am I .... ....

Longing for silence

Listen to blog

In the city I hardly notice the sound of the traffic. But trying to find a place close enough to retreat to that feels like, not necessarily wilderness but at least.... Outside, garden, wild enough to not feel too much just like being in the yard....

What I notice Is that here even in these places of beauty that have been left treed and the bird song is much more evident.... the cars don't stop. It's almost as if being in the trees has amplified the sound of the cars, the traffic.

I long for silence in those moments. And I realize as I look for these places of even a short retreat that it is the silence that I miss, the silence that my body aches for, as much as the beauty .... ....

I love hearing the wind in the trees, the various birds, that somehow.... I don’t know, they must hear each other, but they sing around and through each other like a woven fabric of bird song. It's so lovely to see just the blue sky blown clear of the pollution and the smog ....

Where can I find silence?
My whole being longs For silence .... ....

What happens if we stop relying on gravity
to keep us here
held On this beautiful Earth
Could we with our thoughts keep us grounded
Hold ourselves In this place

What happens If we stop Believing in gravity
as a force for good a force of nature that says
You are Beloved, I hold you in my embrace
in this place of safety and beauty
Because I love you ....

What happens if
we Begin
to Believe that
Gravity is Love .... ....
