Here they are ~
The last in this round of Small Stones
Daily snippets of observation
Ordinary moments of grace

He limped past
through the desert
front right leg stiff, straight
gash, just above shoulder.
A clash with fellow Canis latrans?
Or did human beast intervene?

cleaning
prepares the space
for sacrament
for grace

University town
The Arts abound
Wildlife surrounds
Tucson

Loved since 18
Today
Fifty four
Still incites
This heart to roar
How lucky

January 30,2012

I feel you.
Here. Now.
Even though
Your today began
Eighteen hours ago

January 31, 2012

It’s clear
We’ve met before
As logic
Defies
This connection
Otherwise

 

I AM letting go

The time has come

 

Morning realization

This is done

 

I AM moving on

Though filled with love

 

Dawning here and now

Clear, from above

 

I AM placing faith

In you and yours

 

Capable of choice,

Successes, more

 

I AM opening fists

And opening heart

 

Letting what comes next

Lessons impart

 

I AM freeing you

And freeing me

 

To live and learn and love, now

Judgment free

 

I AM shunning fear

To let love bind

 

Illuminate my soul

Heart, psyche, mind

 

 

 

You seek the sun
Despite hail, rain and thunderstorms
You seek the sun
Flex, arch, open, til day is done
You fight pests, vermin, turning worms
Disregard all threats, anger, harms
You seek the sun

*a rondelet inspired by Poets United‘s Thursday Think Tank

 

 

Walk through bold, blue door
Embrace brown-skinned man
Smell the heady pink perfume
Kiss the toddler hand
Listen to cardinal song
Mumford, Good Husband
Linger over love-made meals
Zinfandel, deep, grand
Speak of love, acceptance
Adore whene’er you can
Observe life closely, all of it
Spontaneous and planned
Every moment, a lesson
Embrace the muse. Expand.

 
“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
