She Knew

you have to journey

     through rough fires

to be able to stay in

     this world

is the journey

     worth it ?

she knew 

     it was when

     as she notices

     the rivers of rain falling

across a dark granite wall

     and

she knew 

     when she hears

     the music of thunder

she knew when

     on a rainy day she

was able mellow 

     and dream

     she knew when she 

     felt the

yes yes yes

     and let her mind

     wonder

  Featured image: Hawk III As with most things, there are many ways to see and understand them; the hawk is no different.

A Day Later

Featured image: Sun, Tree, Water Even a day later, I can feel the rhythm of the water running through my body, making it one with the water, the earth, and the sky. Moving with all that is—this is the "isness" that I always talk about. A day later, reflecting on the wonderful experiences we had, I look at my hands and see, I still have the earth of the Northwest Territories under my nails. This earth, this tiny bit of earth and its totalness, represents the silence as the day ended far off on the horizon; the songs the wind and the trees sang; and the waves as they came crashing on the shore. The song of the line of forever, drawn between the water and the sky. The song of wholeness. The song of yes, yes, yes that I always talk about. The song of life, of connectedness, of naturalness, of possibilities—and the song of just being alive.
