Connection

Remember (part 3)

Remember Joy
that jubilance that expands
excitement, thrilling, a connection
to aliveness that spark within

Remember Care is more than refilling your well
It’s a sense of respect
and that you deserve the same care

Remember you are a part of nature
her beauty, the animals,
the motion of the tide
and that bright silver moon

You Belong to the earth
and she belongs to you
It’s a mutual dance of
give and care always

Remember Love is what brings you here
There is no other greater purpose
You do not need to earn it
It is your birthright

Stake a claim
re-unite breath
with your voice

No longer silent
and accepting only breadcrumbs

Joy is yours
You share in how you care

You are love and loved
You belong just be being here

With love always,

shared stories

Each season

Each Season has a reason
A root cause
A call to Mother Earth
An honoring of nature’s rhythms.
I, too, can play a role
in this delicate dance.

A celebration with
Its own unique beauty
Its own story to tell
An expression of emotion
of life itself.
And all the stages
One not better than the other
All necessary and
Interdependent on each other.

Humans throughout time
Have heard the call
and took their rightful place
at the helm
at Mother Nature’s feet
Ruffling her skirts,
Smoothing the sheets
One role not more prestigious
than another.
All needed
in sharing the honor
of her presence.

Greeting her
at each stage
Arms open wide
Accepting the gifts
and the lessons
To make way for
Growth and space
For it all to take place
Together
Side by side
Hand in hand
Guided to her 
Beauty and sorrow
Each day a change to begin anew.
