Trees Mt Lemmon Aug 2018

each moment of your life has brought you

to the Sacred Space of Your Self

there are no mis-steps

be still in this Sacred Moment

Tree Mt Lemmon Aug 2018

my day with trees started out quietly

till Douglas Fir requested a poem

I recited Emily Dickinson

pine needles twinkling in sunlight thanked me

saying that we were kindred spirits

I nodded, and took a nap on the picnic table

sky brought a dream-vision of world peace

each person offering their gifts to one another

hugging, singing, dancing

humanity holding hands to nurture Great Mother Earth

when I woke – I knew this was happening now

trust the sunlight
to know when to shine

trust each step

teach me the magic
of being in place

bless me
with your love of silence
wisdom of peace

Art sunflowersDivine Love
enters me through the cracks
the raw edges now shining with Light

who would have thought
that being broken
could bring wholeness

A Flowers 003

all the doing
I worry about getting done
sinks to the bottom of the lake

the lake surface
clear as a mirror
reflects the sky
and becomes one

A Flowers 003
Painting flowers brings me to my knees … the beauty, grace, and silence.

It is impossible to capture the spirit of the flower, but sometimes the brush and pigments capture a glimmer.

My art scaled
sprinkle sunshine
spread love
thick as jam on toast
listen like an open sky
embrace like there is nothing else in the world
you’d rather be doing

Scaled Moon rise 003
moon rise
bright globe in the twilight sky
silent promise of light
to guide us into dreams
that wake our true nature
