1- Some things to know about me...

… I save drowning bees.
I have an infinite capacity for joy.
I thrive on love, life and laughter.
I am not afraid of spiders and snakes.
I honour the spirit of animals.
I often drink apple juice out of the carton.
I sing and dance every chance I get.
I seek the beauty of each instant.
I dwell in spirit as much as I can,
I live in my body too.
I love eating with my hands.
I am forever awakening to the child within.
I like the wise woman too.
I love new horizons,
And the wild garden that is our earth.
I am not afraid of small animals with sharp teeth,
I am more afraid of the big ones.
I will try almost anything once,
Some things I will try twice.
I love utterly.
I am stubborn;
I am easy going too.
I call it “determined’ and ‘flexible’.
I am Gemini with Taurus Moon.
I rescue worms that stray onto sidewalks.
I am deepening my capacity for trust.
I listen to the Universe.
I have learned to love my capacity for devotion.
I invoke Divine Silliness in all my rites.
I speak four languages,
I sing in six.
I find strength in being vulnerable.
I try to live at the meeting point of freedom
And surrender,
Of detachment and passion.
I manage okay most of the time.
I love to sleep outside,
Especially under falling stars.
I own my triggers.
I know that the only way forward is towards healing.
I communicate easily.
I am learning to ask for what I need.
I don’t play games,
Except pool and backgammon.
I embrace sacredness.
I believe people are intrinsically good.
I know that darkness comes from wounded love.
I still hold people accountable for their actions,
As I hold myself.
I love sunsets,
I love sunrises too.
I fight for what I believe.
I never blow out candles.
I often hike in gypsy skirts,
I laugh when they get torn.
I am learning to accept my beauty.
I am grateful for the bounty of life,
And for love shared.
My songs and my dance are my offerings.
My heart is my favorite musical instrument.
Passion is my greatest teacher,
Integrity my surest guide.
I love to be touched and held.
I release easily.
I love all animals,
Except fleas and mosquitoes.
I give good massages.
I love moonrises
I have yet to see a moonset.
I have known moments of complete peace.
I pray with my body when I make love.
I dance to the song of the planets.
I know the Male is as sacred as the Female.
I don’t do prissy,
Or tan lines...

2- Kindness

Watching the news, so many horrors everywhere
We forget…

Thousands of acts of kindness
Go unmentioned
Thousands of acts of kindness
Occur every minute of every day

They rise from our human hearts
A silent song louder than any hymn
And fill the space between our breaths…


3- Driving

Driving home from Vancouver
I know I will drive past you
Somewhere
In the vastness of the open landscape
I am dozing as we enter the valley
My daydreams send tendrils on ahead
Heralds of my impending passage
As we enter the village
Where you are staying
It is two forty five pm
I sit up
Wipe my eyes
Send echoes from my heart
Rippling back and forth between the hills
Like a bat scoping a cave
And then we are gone
My love is a red path
I paint behind us as we drive past
It swirls away from the cold road
And rises in the glorious winter sunshine
Towards you
