nested like this


Busloads of children are arriving on the borders of the country I live in.

A wren’s nest
holds a few barely visible eggs
in the potted begonia on the porch.
They nestle in the cave she and he made
of moss and dry field grasses.

Deep inside the nest of myself
is a fullness
That holds the complexity of life.

Grace takes my mind aside
Enveloping it completely in her nest.

Home.
Like this.

Trusting the nest maker within.
To celebrate.
To care for.
To create and express.
To share in the wonder of all conditions.

Like this.

learning to crochet



Someone like me
Is really good for nothing.

If you understand this,
You might appreciate me all the more.

If you don’t,
You might believe me.

Looking at Trees





"The body is a sensing instrument of consciousness. Without the body and the mind, the trees couldn't see themselves.

Usually we think that we are looking at a tree, but the tree is looking at itself through us. Without this instrument, the tree doesn't get to see itself.
We are sensing instruments of the Divine."

like a glove



You can’t know what it is…
until it takes your form.
then,
it will fit like a glove.
