past the borders of happiness and unhappiness
a rim of fire oaks bid me on the blue horizon
smooth hand like leaves held me there
while the first hard rain fell
I kneeled and leaned into the heady fragrance
of an ancient wisdom revealed
beneath the old rough timber
it spoke of the delicate balance in being
at once firmly rooted while [...]

Yes, that was me – aspiring Spiritual Goody Two Shoes.  Just before I was about to receive my certification in Spiritual Goody Two Shoes, I had the sudden realization that I have a dark side.  Well, let’s be clear it wasn’t a sudden realization so much as a willingness to take a look in my [...]

I give you the letter
I never sent
that begins with
how precious you are
and ends with
love always and forever
I give you star dipped kisses
to wear in your hair
I give you a small yet competent compass
to hold in your pocket
I give you true North as your guide
I give you back your last two birthdays
I give you the [...]

as twilight begins
and darkness descends
light pours into small spaces
and I am tossed out into the violet night

answers drift in from faraway places
and hang like forbidden fruit
words and images impossible to translate
relief comes as the first blush of morning arrives
wind strokes [...]

I want to linger inside the silence
void of sound and distraction
long enough to see for myself that love’s only obstacle
fear, really is just a paper dragon
I want to let every barrier to love fall away

and awake resplendent in all that remains:
your pure and perfect love

it’s nice to know
that when I’m feeling low
I can come visit my own blog
and laugh and cry and be soothed
find hope and remember
it’s nice to know
I’ve left a well marked trail
it’s lighted, too
and filled with my favorite things
it’s nice to know
others have come here and
felt better for it
they’ve also laughed and cried
found hope and remembered
and [...]

Isn’t he handsome? And it’s official, Bob is as white as snow. Yes, the Seattle
area has had enough snow to determine that. I won’t bemoan our fate though,
I know some of you have much more [...]

Yesterday I visited Whackville.  It’s an interesting place to visit but
thank God, I don’t live there.  Really the moment I found myself
in Whackville, I wondered how the heck I got there followed quickly
by why was I here?  And next met by it’s kissing cousin: how dare
you be here.  :)
Finally, you know what I did?  I [...]
