Fall is blowing
through
The hills of
Kentucky
With a nip of
winter
Biting
The winds whipping
The water
white-capping
The skies grey
With a looming
night
Even though it is
morning
A day breaking
That never quite
OPENS
Sipping coffee all
day long
The caffeine can’t
give us lift off
Letting the warmth
companion us
Even in our
perpetual slumber
Never quite waking
up
Yesterday afternoon
I arrived to glorious
skies
Shining brightly
Clear blue
Picturesque
The sun bursting
With rings of
yellow gold
I sat on top of the
houseboat
Soaking it in
Feeling the vultures
high above me
Dance
In the depths of my
belly
SO ALIVE!
Invigorated
Inspired
Bubbling
Flowing
Playing
Breath by breath
Until the sun went
down
But
The gift of
contrast
Taking us into various
experiences
We would never wish
for
That cause us to
moan & groan
Longing for the
Ideal
Trusting this
Season
This Day
This moment
Is perfect
Doing what it does
Unfolding us
Ushering in more
Life
Holding us in a
Rest
Birthing Potentials
In the quiet
Cozy inside
Within our Self
Wrapped up in
warmth
Blossoming
Even NOW
Even when we don’t
Feel it
Believing it looks
A certain way
Believing roses
only bloom
In the Spring
In the Summer
Under certain conditions
But
This morning
As I pulled on my
woolies
Layering up
For my run
OUT in the elements
Leaving the shelter
Willing to dance
with the winds
Feeling FREE
Enjoying the cold
Splashing my face
Making my cheeks
pink
Numbing my fingers
I pumped my fists
As my legs had an
extra spring
Relaxed my
shoulders
Settling in
Welcoming this
adventure
Expecting nothing
Delighting in
everything
Tuning in to what “is”
All that presented
In the direct
experiences
Step by step by
step
Exploring the
country side
In this new Season
This new day
This new moment
In my life
Arriving at a
favorite spot
The gates of a
dairy farm
Time stood still
Shock & Awe
filled me
Gasping with
pleasure
Ahhhhh…
Smiling with all of
Creation
Singing collectively
The song of soul
In perfect harmony
Magnificence
greeted me:
ROSES
Ever-Blooming!
I bowed to them
My heart shouting
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Silently communing
Whispering: Thank you!
Thank you!
MIRACULOUS!
I plunged my face
Into the rose
bushes
Full of buds
Full of blossoms
Full of thorns
Smelling the
fragrance
Scanning the
textures of the petals
Sensing with all of
me
ROSES
Ever-blooming!
Within me
Within all
Within creation
Stopping to smell
the roses
Pausing to
recognize the beauty
Ever-blooming
No matter the
Season
No matter the
conditions
Enlivens us
Passion fueled
LOVE abiding
In this Sacred
journey
WE ARE
Roses
Ever-Blooming!
