All around
the long bones of the trees
raise small green prayer flags
from their roots
of winter solace
~
Signals humming in the first spring wind
“There are so many lost in their own momentum”
~
There is an urgency
as the intrepid green shoots
attend to the living word
“With”

As everything cycles new in the next few months, my activities surround the season. I’ll be lending my hands, my arms, my back, my muscles, my eyes and my ears where needed. My softer parts and all my bones go along for the ride. …giddy with enthusiasm.
I’ll also be germinating the next set of audio broadcasts. The seeds have been planted. I am immeasurably grateful to everyone who listened and lent their own thoughts … such beauty….you have my heart….
I’m learning trust in so many ways
opening like a flower
in a field of wild light

Oh do I ever love that
Such an image!

Thank you Steven…The image originated from looking out at the passing landscape on a long bus trip to Fort Dix to see a friend before he was shipped off during the Vietnam war. I guess the image stuck with me since then…but without connotations of that late winter ride long ago. An image transformed…

Yes. You know. You’ve got this right. Were you a hoop queen in a past life? 😉

No no…this one! When they first came out I definitely did my thing… kind of a whirling dervish experience. I loved my hoop. First skate boards too. My athletic skill though….ta ta ta da..was in badminton.

Badminton. I’m in Awe. I could never keep my eye on the birdie. I also couldn’t spin a hoop at as a child. I had no athletic prowess. I came to hooping late. And spin like a dervish now. 🙂
