When we allow ourselves
to dream, to follow our passions
our inner light is brilliant,
radiating into other people’s hearts
opening them to the possibilities
offered to them from the Universe…
Namaste,

Just One Drop
A single drop of water
sends ripples out
across the water
until they give way
to the placid calm.
The effect beneath
the surface
is profound
for it is here
where the tiny ripples
continue to reverberate.
We touch another’s life
sending out ripples between hearts
asking us to open our inner knowing,
our willingness to go with the tide,
and our ability to harmonize with our environment.
We choose to adapt
to embrace the ripples
to allow our feelings to simply flow
to connect us with others, with ourselves…
We awaken to our inner selves
when a single droplet
falls
upon our surface
touching our lives forever.
Namaste,

Her First Death

Death came
the little one stayed,
before the one she adored
as tears slipped
down upon her mama.
The others waited
eyes moist with grief
the little one’s wailing
reverberating in their ears
their own hearts aching
at the loss of their matriarch.
The orphan stood alone
surrounded by love;
another stepped forward
nudging leaves against her tiny trunk
urging her to choose life
in the midst of death, of such despair.
The wee one closed her eyes
a vision appeared as if a dream unfolding…
Mama’s smile and twinkling eyes
met her own to share the essence of her heart
the unconditional, profound love traveled
across the barrier of the other side,
embracing her child’s hurting heart,
stroking away the pinprick hurts
lovingly massaging in courage
a promise of protection
sealed with a kiss on her trunk…
Another again nudged her trunk.
She nodded ever so slightly
allowing the last tears
to release the hurts
in acceptance of today, of this moment.
The little one offered one last snuggle
then turned to face her herd, her future
with love and promise warm in her heart.

Exposed, To Behold Magnificence
Exposed limbs, vulnerable
stark contrast as if ink etchings
upon water-colored sky
as dusk rapidly approaches.
Limbs sway in the gentle breeze
touched by the intermingling
of light and dark
a witness of the magical dance…
as day embraces the coming night
while slipping over the horizon
an embrace
of “hello my friend” and “until later.”
The exposed limbs
in awe of the exquisite  joining
of two apparent opposites;
yet their profound bond deepens
for the few moments they share
in the great dome together
honoring that it is but a moment in time
embracing that it as gift to be treasured
knowing that it is part of their daily journey.
Namaste,

Soul Mates

When kindred souls find
one another, an unspoken
dialogue passes between them
far deeper than words.
They connect,
grateful to have found each other.

Blazing fire rages
water encases fire in ice
warehouse becomes ice sculpture;
within my heart
a fire burns
melting icy stares, words
love is the flame
igniting my soul.

Paragliding Through Life

Trust, equipment holds.
Balance, wind currents, gliders.
Letting go of fear.

Keyhole of my Heart
Through the keyhole of my heart
a vast ocean ebbs and flows
a glorious sky flows into distant galaxies far away
dreams flutter in the tropical breeze of possibilities
my soul soars in sync with the beings of light.

Speaking to my Soul
The gourmet salads spoke
to my intellect,
“We are healthy, low calorie choices.
Remember you’re going
to eat healthy foods.
Here we are.”
The bubbling cheddar broccoli soup
sang to my soul,
“You’ve just left frigid reality.
Those leaves are healthy,
but I will warm you from the inside out.”
My brain refocused
on the green leaves;
my heart turned
toward the cauldron
my body responded
feeling the warmth
slipping down her throat
a warm, love spread
through her core.
Curiosity tickled my mind
melting my thoughts of “should’s”
as the little girl in me
longed for the freedom
to just follow my heart,
to just allow myself to be
to just step away
from the expectations…
I ordered the soup
my heart skipped a beat
as the soup embraced me
like a blanket
from the inside, out.
Namaste,
