The Nature of Humans, Trees and the Elements
Tree of Life Eyes closed, explore the places beneath your bark of worldly knowledge and unknown rhythms, buried in your heart.
Your feet root in darkness, into the mysteries of moist, saturated ground.
Anchoring at Earth's center, you are deep in womb's hearth.
Guided along the inner rivers and streams, you flow effortlessly, sensing and observing, as above, so below.
You look up from here, a kaleidoscope of branches and diffused light overhead; reaching to cradle the stars, meeting heaven's night.
Morning opens quietly, like tiny blue pearls of light dancing on your leaves, you feel your trunk breathe and then sigh, it softly heaves.
Whispering and windy, spirit flows in, swirling gently around your core, weaving through thousands of hidden memory rings.
Divine breath carries you deeper still, into the place where affinity rests, into your heart, the place where everything sings.
Loneliness disappears, slipping along the rivers inside, because here runs the blood and the prana, erasing all seeds of doubt.
As Within, so Without.
" For Kathy 99 Bridges Yesterday I stopped building bridges; today I awakened, Remembering there was one more.
The golden bridge from my soul to yours, The bridge that connects us through eternity.
No one walks here, Though we stand at different ends looking, knowing, there is nothing more to do.
Time is non-existent as we see the limitless potential of all things.
From my heart to yours, sister to brother, I built this last, this 99th Bridge.
Remember our journey together, Touching the rail, lighting the way for us all, forever.
For my Brother.
Hanging in the Balance Earth: embraced by sky.
A veil of gold floats over the Earth, Sun illuminating Moon, Exposing light in the darkness.
Feminine: a vessel for masculine.
Tumultuous and benign, Sea reflected in sky, Pouring from the heavens.
Soul: house of the heart.
A chalice, the container for divine remembering, The record keeper, Reminding the flower to open.
Spirit: breath that flows and anchors in the bones.
Ebbing from inspiration to expiration, Connecting again, Through the ethers on its way home.
You: the seat of your soul.
Always in love's embrace, Forever illuminated on your journey back to the Sun Listening to sounds of the sea in the sky.
For Humanity I Love You Still I can see your kindness--your heart--even when you're angry and enraged.
I can see your vulnerability, even when you are resistant.
When you are hard and protected, I see your softness.
I see that you are enlightened, even when you act unconsciously.
It doesn't matter to me if you make mistakes...
I always know you are brilliant and intelligent.
When you forget who you are or pretend you are someone else, I will always be there to remind you.
I know your creativity is alive within you, even when you deny the joy in your heart.
I can feel your love for everything in this Universe, even when you hold grudges.
I will forever know your desire for communion, even when you are arrogant and disconnected.
I will always be here for you, no matter what, even when you cast me aside.
