I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

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!
