Poised

Wide-eyed cat above,

poised in a dogwood tree.

Icarus waiting.

Hiding

The seed hides in soil /

to reveal what it will be /

once uncovered.

"I have a firm belief in this now, not only in terms of my own experience, but in knowing the experiences of other people. When you follow your bliss, and by bliss I mean the deep sense of being in it, and doing what the push is out of your own existence—it may not be fun, but it’s your bliss and there’s bliss behind pain too...

You follow that and doors will open where there were no doors before, where you would not have thought there’d be doors, and where there wouldn’t be a door for anybody else.

... And so I think the best thing I can say is to follow your bliss. If your bliss is just your fun and your excitement, you’re on the wrong track. I mean, you need instruction. Know where your bliss is. And that involves coming down to a deep place in yourself."

- Joseph Campbell

Nuts to you

It is not a nut. /

It is a legume, you say. /

I say, It’s a truck.

Embrace

Speak not your joys /

but embrace them like Iris /

touched by morning rain.

Thief

Beside the street, /

in a flowering Eden /

a snake jerked up Iris.

The road

The road less traveled /

often becomes forgotten /

until the next snow.

Earth Day

“What is the universe? Space. Out of space came a coagulation that became a nebula, and out of the nebula, millions of galaxies, and within one constellation of galaxies, a sun, with our little planet circling it. Then out of the earth came us, the eyes and the consciousness and the ears and the breathing of the earth itself.” – Joseph Campbell #HappyEarthDay

Rose

I stop and wonder /

what religion is the rose, /

both fragrance and thorns.
