Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

What do I Seek

“If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread.
If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul.
If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.”
― Rumi

In the muted light of morning
they scurry
staccato feet dancing quickly
as if lets too short
cannot get them to their destination
quickly enough

desperately pushing
through grass and brush
top knots dancing
round bellies swing
as they lock in on
the scattered sunflower seeds

dropped carelessly and generously
by Cross Beaks and Siskins

lurking in the Irises
Tess the might hunter lies
tail twitching
body tense
focused death

ah

a lesson to be learned
for this vague human
who blunders aimlessly
this way and that

what is it I want?

ah

yes

may I be at peace
Namaste!
