Lightning over wooden pier at sunset

A Conscious Yes

A conscious yes Will open a place within Where silence thunders
Small bird resting on tree limb

Forsythia waits

April’s gentle winds Lift sparrows from hydrangea Forsythia waits
Rushing river surrounded by lush greenery

Together in stride

Step by step we walk Sage colored waters rush by Together in stride    ...
Close-up of a grizzly bear

A Choice

From hibernation Into forced isolation Choose silence or noise
Bluebird perched on a bare branch

Nature’s Sweet Refrain

As gray, meek skies weep Songbirds still sing in the rain Nature’s sweet refrain
Blackbird with red wings perched on branch

The Return

The red-winged blackbird despite snow and contrary news returned singing       43.721680 -91.975791
Red cardinal perched on bare branches.

Cardinal Rules

I still hear your trill Though hidden in the branches First hearts sing then soar
Exploring snowy forest with a compass

True North

There is a stillness That drops in and guides the heart May it find True...
Winter scene with a squirrel

Spring Prayer

Squirrel bows in prayer Robins sing sweet hymns Spring blooms into Love
Zebra leaping in grassy savannah

I know a zebra

I know a zebra Who gave birth to herself and Became a Phoenix
