As if signaling the coming end of this year,
the soft, heavy, whiteness of nature silences the world
so my ears hear nothing but the occasional light smack of heavy wetness
that only the first annual snow can make.
How the world can look quiet I cannot explain, but my mind is emptied,
mesmerized like a cub snuggling up to its hibernating mother by the
melodic dance of the falling magic which sets the rhythm of us all.
It is rare to see Mother Earth's best colors merged, as the green ... read more

tight and twist and back and forth
hesitation leaves me stuck in place
hesitation and multi focus
tight and twist results a jarred core
the planets are tangoing -
several reversing, several stuck, many comingling, and some flying through
a headache has crept in by rain and release

but the darkness and the sticks

And yet on a New Quest.
The Maidens Revisit their Creative Juices
In new older Bodies that need reminding.
The Earth is ... read more

The motivation to consider this I'm very thankful to Lori for, as well as the simple twist in language she gifted me with today reminding me in clearer terms what I already knew (which she also reminded me).

May we turn from the battle of "I'm right you're wrong
to a loving acceptance that both are right and wrong,
if it be at all.
May we turn from greed and selfish thought
toward the realization that we are one,
and to do onto other is as we are doing to ourselves.
May we turn from complaining and fear
toward taking the responsibility
one person, one step, at a time.
May we turn towards challenge
rather than turning away,
and reap their rewards.
May we turn towards the sun
to shine... read more
