Hand against a large stone overlooking the ocean

I’m transmitted its light-spun memories
Coursing from stone to spine to soul
It holds the wisdom of a thousand grandmas
This earthen elder, keeper of steadiness

Light blue sky with soft clouds through the treetops

How wide the sky when I let it be…

Flowing waterfall in a green forest

I smell the waterfall in my hair
Minerals, air, moss stone

The blue sky with wispy clouds peeking between the tree tops

“It’s not your job to be ecstatically happy,” The shifting sky said. “It’s not your job to be inconsolably sad, either. It’s your job to be deeply aware. And to be deeply aware is to be peace.”

Beautiful tree with lush moss by a river

The heavy in me
the electric in me
the moon rings that reach
To the forest in me
The wine that’s in me
The truth that’s in me
The hope that slow grows
On the dying in me

River coursing through a lush green forest

The water that’s coursed for billions of years courses through us.

How ancient we are, how big our family. We recognize every stream from the water within.

River flowing through a mossy forest

When did my one word wishes
Become pages of prayers
Soliloquy by the stream
Voice becomes rivulet
Becomes voice again
The only place
I can verbalize

Golden sunrise over the ocean

Where colors
are conscious
inner to outer
to inner
imaginings
of truth
never to be
discovered
but to be painted
again and
again

A sunrise dimmed by the dust storms of the Sahara rising over the aquamarine ocean of south Florida

The sunrise wraps
round and round
the dust of Sahara
storms its soul
across space
feeds the forests
sustains the sea
quells the colors
chokes the humans
knows just what to do

Little white and yellow flowers in a sea of green

“It looks like the universe,” they said in the same breath.

A glowing white cascade running down the side of a trees mountain slope

The falls hang
like a long necklace
down the torso
of the mountain
a family heirloom
ancient, untarnished
a shrine-like shine
they don’t make them
like this anymore

Yin Yang Collage of dark green pine and light green deciduous treetops with grey sky beyond

The yin yang hereness of greenstruck heavens

May we see it, may we see it, may we see it

Toes with periwinkle blue nail polish in a shallow stream over big beautiful rocks

The divine never leaves you, it waits for you.

Motion toward the sacred, and the sacred will motion back.

Beaver on a river in the river surrounded by foliage

Guided through moss halls
clues of the land’s creator
the keepers, the blessers
and most of all the beavers
falling trees, dragging logs
building from a knowing
7 million years deep
