Ninety-three million miles away,yet upon the cobwebs of a flower,Sol's ray reaches, haloes, frames. How powerfulthat gentle, golden beam iswhen it finds and reminds us ourinsignificanceis more important and personalthan we think it to be,for the Creator made surethe cold and darkness would always havereturning light and heat. We are turned away each evening,in a rotation beyond … Continue reading Cobwebs Between Petals

It's hard to decipherwhich is me, which is you, when we alternatepositions, both alwaysas one and the gentlestof blooms.Sometimes it is the shadowsthat give the needed solace;in tender loving form, one protectively umbrellasan ecliptic respite.We are the same:each crease in the petala similar quondam-but-unable-to-be-forgottenstory, memory,that will not becomeus, for our souls' DNAseeps fromhearts of goldand velvet touches,for all purityis … Continue reading Floral Orbit
Raindrops clingto Japanese Maple;Time suspends themto give way toStillness's held breath...subtly exhaledas I pass, as if I were aroyal angel.

Without a doubt, one of my favoriteparts of life isclouds. The soft pastelsat dawn lift me upand take me home;sunset-backdropped,at day's end,I am delivered again,haloed in gold. Nature-ensconced, nature-infused, nature my lifeline,nature my truth-school. I befriend every creature and petal,explore every infinitesimal detail,lose all track of time in the macrofinding clues about myself, but nothing He has madeentrances … Continue reading Cloudscapes
May Day birthday, one to addgenuinely to my scant album of joyful memories, as Time bows down to still itselfand lets me live some momentsimmortally beneath the Magnolia trees that seemed to have waitedfor this occasionto begin their epic blooming.
