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.

Having Wings
“I want to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.”
― Mary Oliver

the hawk sits in his tree
a massive old snag
here he perches every morning, surveying his domain
he screams a complaint into the air
and then soars
into the sky
toward the sun
wild and free
effortlessly
ah
I would love to soar
to spread my wings
I would love to frolic, to spin and swirl
to feel the incredible lightness of being that comes
from being borne
by the wind of the spirit
