spring

New moon
and intentions are clear
high
crisp

what a time to be breathing
seeing
doing
tasting
remembering
and listening
well
to each other
to the wind.
This time it seems as if the flowers and the sky hold all of the wisdom
connecting to that
powerful force that landed us here
believing in it
with the studied shut down of the brain
a compromise with the ego
I will recognize you, but you are not me
you are not in charge
a quieting of the voices
the perceived assumptions of others
as if all they have to do all day is judge us.
they are worried about us judging them.
Isn't that silly
crazy even?
But we are learning.
quickly in this time
how to be
still and to listen
and to be gracious
and loving
and how to do by living well
by setting an example of love
of peace
of graciousness
I do feel myself standing at a podium
in a congregation
the thing with that organized religion
the base of it is all the same
it has only been twisted and turned and
douced with fear and fire
let it burn down to it's essence and we will be happy, free people
each day should rise up
push through struggle to the knowing that we are ok
taken care of and held high.
living with the knowledge that we can grow as easily as the flower grows
holding no fear when winter comes as the flower does not fear the ice and cold
it is it's time
and in spring it will be reborn
we can not rush it
we can only wait
for spring to come
I see the buds begining to grow
tiny shoots of promise
longer stints of sun
a calming song from the birds who are waking up with us
to that glorious day
