New Crescent Moon

Come with me to the ocean
She calls.
Come with me as I create Sacred Space
Sit with me.
She calls
Our Mother is calling come
Come with me this new moon to the ocean.

not sure how I've come by this photo of the Moon and Venus

Listen~ a Cherokee saying

Listen for Peace
Choose to be well
Find contentment
Listen!
Or your tongue will make you deaf.

- Cherokee saying

Great Spirit
I thank you for this gentle reminder
That came down the wire today.
Thank you for gifting me with small
And large remimnders of your presence and love
Thank you Great Spirit.

Snow Day

Oh, Great Grandfather,
I have listened to the snow
It fell through the night
Heavy and wet.
Great Grandfather
The snow on the trees today
Gave me pause,
For all the People who are
As laden with their burdens.
I know there is a grand purpose
One which I may not understand.
I ask you to take care of the People on the Street
Those without the way to heat their homes
To care for the moms and dads who need to be home today with children
Great Grandfather,
I ask also for the animals and trees,
I worry when I see their branches
Pulled toward the ground under the weight.
I worry too for the little burrowed ones who'll need to dig out.
May you ease their way.
I know that all this snow will bring us moisture,
Deep in the wells of Grandmother Earth.
For her dreams
Will soon come to bloom.
Great Grandfather and Grandmother
I slept well wrapped in the song of snow falling.
Dreams of Peace to lighten my heart.
I am grateful for my life.
Great Grandfather,
Bless and care for us.
Great Granfather and Grandmother,
I send you blessings
For this gift of snow, for this day.
Thank you.

REcycle and Trash

It's a Wednesday
Time to put out the trash
Thank you and much gratitude
I send to you
Trash men, 'collectors' of the discarded
Once a week you come down my street
Recycle and rubbish
One truck for each
You come to haul it away.
I wonder some days if we would
Create so much of it all if
As individuals we were responsible for our own.
I give Thanks again
To you the 'collectors', I know it is not a job
I could do.
I am most grateful that you are able.

Thank you!

Will and Grace

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did" When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence.....
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'


I no longer remember where this came from, but I needed it today.
Thank you for guiding me to find it, Holy Spirit.
I will sit with your wisdom today.

The Day after the LOVE

Great Creator

Might you answer me why

We seem not to be able to

Hold on to the LOVE

That seems to come pouring forth

On the Fourteenth day of the second Month?

Why, Great Creator

Do we not know how to trust

That we are the LOVE we wish to SEE?

Just as we are the CHANGE we desire in the world?

Oh, Great Creator

Teach us how to be good

Teach us how to LOVE,

Teach us that we are all in deed part of the whole

Part and Parcel of the ONE

Oh, Great Creator

Help me to know and be this LOVE!

Thank you for the LOVE you are in me!

Valentine's Day

Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong; but rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things,
believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things.

from Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians

Today I ask that you guide me
With Love toward all my fellow humans
I want to be able to hold each person
I touch to know Love
To feel that which is their Divine right
As your children, as children made from the very dust of the Stars
Guide me today toward that end.
