Tabernacles

 The Whole of Winter is a Tabernacle Tapestry.  A living Altar speaking Spirit through Her Winds. Always, She draws me in.  And leads me Home. I have to find the Warmth from deep Within my Bones.

The endless gray of Day's.

The leafless Trees.

In constant interplay

That moves me to my Knees.

There is Such Beauty Here.

Once I release the fear.

Allowing Winter's Wisdom to ignite what Burns in me.

The Candle's Lit Within.

Warming what Breathes in me.

And I become a Willow

Weeping only 

Songs of Blessing

To Caress the View I See.

Crystal Eternity

Dancing before my eyes

Here in these Winter Skies.

Reflecting Altars of The Holy that Reside in me

Once I step In To View

What Winter always Knew.

Daughter, Move Back

 There was no fanfare. No Angel Wings. No flowing robes or crown of stars. There were no trumpet sounds or epic light displays. But the feel about Her was a Deep Blue Sea, a Star Kissed Sky and the Vast Expanse of Mystery, wrapped both in Presence and Eternity. She looked like one of us. Just like the girl next door or your own best friend or the oldest, most familiar Sacred Space you’ve ever known.  She spoke to me through impressions that I understood instinctively. She was a force to be reckoned with and held a deep command. Though not aggressively or oppressively, but as one in tune with Truth and utter Certainty. She told me to move back. And so, with Awe, I released the dying body of my mother. I released her labored breath, her twisted hands, her racing heart. I moved my chair back to the end of the bed and turned it around to face Her as She drew closer to us both. My mother’s face was turned in the direction of the window.  Our Lady swept Her hand in Graceful, sl...

My shiney new Gun

 I believe that thoughts are things. Before the words are spoken or the actions taken, the thoughts arise. I have a choice which thoughts I will nurture, feed and grow, and which I will let pass like clouds in my Sky. I believe I am responsible for contributing to this world through the energetic frequency of the thoughts I send out that will ripple across our shared waters. With this in mind, I've found, to my utter amazement, a tool I can use in order to take aim at my target. I sought to hold the shining, silver steel. Cool in my hands.  Glistening with promise.  I wanted to be mindful of what I was projecting onto the screen of our shared experience. I sought to reconcile the ways of war within me. The judgements and criticisms and the blaming of others. The festering internal fears and an inability to understand the ways of those I disagree with. How often I attack through my thoughts, rather than seeking to see things more clearly. These were the weapons of war with...

The Realm of Shadow and Light

 I recently saw a post on social media that caught my eye and captured my attention.  At first I wondered why someone would post such a grim and disturbing photo amidst these troubled times that beg for hope and healing. In the photo there is a doorway that largely reflects the shadow of a gnarled and twisted and lifeless tree. The shadow looms and seems to hiss and contort itself into the face of a monster who has come to devour its prey. I questioned why this photo would be shared with such a trembling and tender world. I could not, however, look away. I studied it closely. I wondered and sought answers. And I decided to read the comments of others who had viewed the post. Through the commentary I heard the chorus.  Through the commentary I was given a metaphor for life.  In one clear voice, those who had commented, sung out this essential refrain: Look Toward The Light. I revisited the photo and shifted my focus. There before my eyes, staring out from beside the d...
