Caption this...

Today's mission,
should you choose to accept it,
is to step into the photo...
or witness from the sidelines.

Will you caption it?
If a caption isn't enough...
will you share the story
it inspires?

Blue lilies









sometimes
the luckiest flower,
isn't a flower
at all

& sometimes
the garden it grows in
isn't encased
in a wall
you nourish
you cipher
you labor

you bend
& you stretch
& you toil


you reach
for my hand
to dance me

in the sand
& the mud
of our soil

sometimes
when I see my reflection

I wonder,
how can you ignore?

but always...
forever & always

you're my constant,
my light
at the shore

you
are my
watery gardener

who
carries me
down to the sea

you
plant the seeds
for blue lilies

& then
you set blue lilies
free


your devotion
sustains
my joyful heart

keeps hope
in my
field of view


if you had to stop tending
the weeds
of my life,

I'd find a way,
somehow,
my darling...

to tend
our blue lilies
& you


The beautiful Little Blue Heron reaches 2 feet tall, weighs less than 1 pound, & lays light blue eggs.

On such a winter's day


~ the birdies are quiet ~


~ they have nothing to say ~


~ depending on an inner fire... no warmth in a bare castle ~


~ wishing, so fervently ~


~ waiting, so patiently... too late to travel ~


~ glad to be the first to see... always... the first to feel, to know ~



& despite
discomfort,
glad for everything good


& honestly,
that's quite a lot


isn't it?


notes to self:
1. when there's nothing worth saying, shut up
2. be grateful for days that remind me to be grateful

When you go where you go





I go
to seek
gifts
of the big
silver ocean


she is grace
she is power
she is hope
for tomorrow

I saw her
in these three generations,
her
essence,
& theirs...

the wonderment
of
what was,
of
what is,

& of

what can be





I go
to breathe
I go
to watch
I go
for renewal
I go
for wonders


& I receive

I wish you
the gifts
of the big
silver ocean


& that
when you go
where
you go

you find
what
you seek...

what
you need
