Sometimes

Who are you

take the time,
to sit with-
who you are,
open your soul-
to allow moment,
to enter in between-
the deep rising ache,
of yesterdays-
it may try to come,
and spill upon your day-
but comfort it,
sit with it awhile-
then release it like,
wings of grace-
to gentle flight,
to the sky that surrounds-
your rising-
morning wakes the day,
with singing-
let what stings,
finding healing in the-
songs of compassion,
in the beating of your heart-
that finds its breath in being,
in allowing and saying-
I come as I am,
to this new dawn.

Caretakers

We are caretakers of the earth and as such we must use our minds in the highest way by embracing the beauty of all living things. Hear the winds whispering words of wisdom that inspire and instill hope for a brighter tomorrow. The sunshine in our souls radiates in a way that allows each of us to light a path of heavenly wholeness. Plant seeds of love and the earth will reap a harvest of happiness and joy.

Earthday

Happy Earth Day heart emoticon

as we dream the earth,
the spaciousness of her beauty-
the surrendering to her awe,
she ignites fire into our souls,
brings air to our breath,
that brings our hearts-
to the rhythm of,
the drum song-
that bring out feet,
to the earth dance.
we are drawn-
to the howl song,
of the wind-
to the mighty roar,
of waters that speak of their ache-
their story of wanting and being.
we who plant our feet,
on earth’s floor,
dirt with twigs,
with leaves that,
intertwine death with living,
with the giving being-
of her journey.
let us not spoil our receiving,
but in return-
bring our respectful hearts,
to her presence giving-
we circle of women,
our song that echoes-
Nature’s soul cry,
of the stars,
that whisper to us-
to see with the light,
of our souls-
for us to hold,
in our dreaming-
earth’s thriving,
nurtured by our love.

Heart's Calling

Happy Birthday Jason #33

I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it.

Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight.

And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings.

You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.

—Maya Angelou

Happy Birthday 85 & 90!

Pond

You are most like a Pond! Other people see you as an easy going individual, someone they can relax with and attain a sense of calm and serenity. To you, bigger isn't always better and you never lust after the material items and luxury. You're low maintenance and laid-back, so it comes as no surprise that you carry a light hearted attitude and a stress free lifestyle. You like to treat others in the way you would prefer to be treated, only with most upmost honesty and respect deserved. Negative energy and weak character are two things you avoid, achieving a balance between mental strength and a pure heart in the process.
