The Sky King conducts
Autumn color dancing leaves
In flight night and day

Orange red yellow
They will nourish Mother Earth
When the dance is done

The Path To Happiness . . .

۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞

Happiness

O Vajrasattva
Mr. and Mrs. Otter
Radiate pure light

The otter couple
Carry diamonds in their hearts
That shine through their eyes

The path to goodness
Can be found in the river
Follow the otters

Attention! Forward March!

I’m used to the weather shifts in March…
But starting Daylight Savings Time in the winter!
What the fuck?!?

Spring forward no longer has the meaning it used to. And I do love a pun!
At least we still get to Fall Back...

What do you think we should we call it now???

Time on my blog stood still, so to speak, and is still on Standard Time :-)

Mysterious March

۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞

Looking out my window this morning I noticed it is still winter after all…They call it March Madness. It was 70 degrees a couple of days ago and now it’s snowing.
۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞

I checked out back too...yes, it's snow! ۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞~۞

Then I went to the park...after coffee of course.

Magnificent Maui ~ For Gypsy

Magnificent Maui
For Gypsy

How many ways can I count
The amount of rays I detect
Reflections of love
In his eyes
As you capture the moment he is in
Sharing him
For Maui has been
On adventures
Sunbathing
Investigating
Patrolling and prowling
In his grand cat-ness
Of stretching pouncing purring
He is beyond this
He is inhabited with intelligence
Spirited with a big heart
Right from the start
I loved him

Winter Night

******************************

Thoughts falling like snowflakes
From my mind and melt away
Each one was complex
I can smell them in the snow
Crisp fairytales and magic
Blowing in on a northern wind
In a cold moment
Each thought a moonlit flurry
Holds my attention
Before nighttime takes it into a dream

Alphabet River Journey

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Alphabet River Journey
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Another urge to lose myself in a waltz
Before retiring for the day
Cloud formations asserted to fix
Dreams on the loose I wandered to follow
Every satisfaction for a professional spiv
Flower with ease when I think of you
Gardening the heart opens up best
Happiness and love that has been flooded with tests
Into the rushing river
Joyfully paddling in my umiaq
Keeping in mind my water step
Looking at the mountain’s halo
My Raven Clan
Never lost its momentum
On the river as we were never still
Passing the bank
Quietly I unwrapped some baba gannouj
Realizing we needed tasty stimuli
Sent to me especially for this trip from Hannah
Twelve year pilgrimage and our friendship strong
Unique food shipping one can be sure of
Velvet eggplant nourished our paddle
We rested full stomachs as the day ended
Xylophone starlight twinkled with magic
You sang words I would absorb
Zephyrus gave me oh beautiful Collinsia Parviflora

December Haiku

۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞

Solstice

Happy Shortest Day
The winter wind wants to play
Long dark night will smile


Winter

This winter day smiles
And children play in the park
The grownups are cold

Galatea's Palmistry

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Galatea's Palmistry
*******************
Fate engraved in skin
The life of the lines
Heart pumping on your hand
And the mound of Luna
Emotion
Rubs into you
Mars meaty plump asserts
Pottery or Paper plates
Holding hands
After dinner
Planets revolving around each finger
Reaching for space and time
And wanting to know
If your tears are real
When they run
May I explore the stories in your skin?
