Casting eyes ‘cross garden,
Then looking b’yond I see
The desert, pure and natural
Greeting, inspiring me
I’m grateful
For glittering eyes
Green ones

“One of the hardest lessons we have to learn in this life, and one that many persons never learn,
is to see the divine, the celestial, the pure,
in the common, the near at hand-
to see that heaven lies about us here in this world.”
- John Burroughs
Heaven lies about me
Here ~
Every single day
through flora, fauna, human form
Divinity does say
This world is filled with wonder
Enjoy it.
Laugh. Dance. Play.
Love yourself.
Love others.
Walk with Grace and pray.
Namaste

Look into corners
See grace in the mundane
Ever present, She

Like a hot house specimen
She requires your full attention
If it wanders she will wither, she will writhe
~
Like a hot house specimen
Demands, too numerous to mention
If just one goes unmet, she’ll not survive
~
Like a hot house specimen
Appearance is her function
If unnoticed, those around her she’ll deprive
~
Like a hot house specimen
She’s exotic. She’s quixotic.
One thing’s sure, you’ll never get away alive.

You’re in trouble now…

I wrote this poem after spending time in the garden. There, no creature envies another’s appearance or attributes. There, beauty abounds in every shape, size, color, form. There, we admire the diversity.
We, especially we women, can learn a lot in the garden. Every living thing is endowed with particular and unique beauty… you, me, she… We simply need to widen our vision, expand, accept, appreciate, relish.

I’m feeling especially divine.
That being said…
In my next life,
Next world,
I’m giving birth to six daughters:
Lily
Poppy
Rose
Iris
Daisy
Margarite
And they will be beautiful,
Each in her own distinct way.
Like their namesakes,
Those girls will lift their faces to the sun,
And bask in the wonder of the world.
They’ll add glamour and color, interest, allure
Wherever they find themselves.
With utmost confidence,
Each will embrace her particular uniqueness,
Not covetous, not envious, of other’s attributes,
Sure in the fact that she has exactly what she needs
To Be
Perfect
Happy
Free
