spring – Ancient Skies

Such a Beautiful Healing

20160509_124143

Our hearts were never meant to be broken,

over and over again

our love fractured,

and yet spring

is such a beautiful healing,

moving us forward

each year

repairing our spirits.

When Our Hearts Soared

With fragments of spring we remember the earth,

and when our hearts soared with the echo

of the divine still firmly in the sky.

We remember

and are strengthened

refusing, to let go.

The Promise of the Cherry Blossoms

As I sense the menacing gaze of the winter ghoul

refusing to yield

I walk against howling wind,

having seen the promise

of the cherry blossoms

so I walk now in the strength

and in the power of hope

that yes

there will be a spring

sometime

this year.

Happy Easter, Happy Passover

To all those celebrating Easter today – Happy Easter!

And I have a number of Jewish friends so – Happy Passover!

May you be wonderfully blessed during this very special time of year.

And if you don’t celebrate either day, may you also be blessed this spring,

as we all behold the beauty of the earth reborn. May hope live in our hearts.

By the way, did you know that the Last Supper was actually a Passover Seder? It’s true!

We Bend Our Hope Towards the Sun

We have always been strengthened by our fields of tulips blazing,

our vision restored

we bend our hope

towards the sun again.

The Rebirth of the Earth

Weep not for the soil overturned,

a sweet, delicate renewal

since the most ancient of times

confirming our calling

to pick berries in the fields

we are strengthened,

we are filled

as our spirits

reconnect.

Embracing the Silence

20180204_121727

Even in the last days of winter,

in an early spring snow,

the forest will hold on to

our sacred space

a place of meditation

and prayer,

so that our spirits can embrace

the silence,

and be strengthened.
