Haiku Too

I love love and I
love people in love, light flows
encircling us all

Haiku

If you knew me like
I know me, then you would say
I want to be friends

Greetings from the great state of Oregon! We made it :)

So it's pretty obvious I was not fully committed to this space, but I'm ready to try again. A liiittle hard right now because our new home doesn't have internet so I'm all up on my iPhone... Yes I could do personal hot spot, but, no. I'd rather do it the hard way... I can't get pictures on here (yet) and I'm quite frustrated because I have so. many. pictures. that I want to share :(

But in other news I am deliriously grateful to report that our unique manifestation of the potentially-maddening Grand Cross of 2014 (and painfully lengthy Mars retrograde period) is on the upswing. There have been several magical storms here since we arrived (locals say these are rare--we've been here just about three weeks...) that electrified the sky and charged the atmosphere with so much energy and power. Lightning, as above, so below. Thunder, the heavens' roar... Rain to cleanse and bring new life... It's all good and please excuse me while I bask in gratitude!

My birthday just soared past with barely a hello. However it did inspire me to gift myself all year with a poem a day, one, every. day. A poem I write. About anything (or everything). This will be my sacred space to craft and share something of my heart, daily, wherever that leads me, and you (!) who reads these words, even if the "you" is only me.

But then again, I am you as you are me, right :)

Without further ado, catching up from my solar return four days ago, four pieces of my heart:

Me In A Nutshell

I am a traveler
I go here and there
I leave no messes
I take care

I come with joy
to pollinate the air
And leave no trace
that I ever was there

The Moth

Moth, moth, on the wall
Why are you there at all?
Why have you come
And what do you say?

You gave me a fright when you landed on my hand
Yesterday

I wasn't expecting you
And neither was Lee
Around and around, and around you flew
But you could not get free

What false light
Did you chase in here
That got you caught up
and tousled with fear

The barely crescent moon
Though it did shine
Was not bright enough
To lead you to the divine

Thank you for your sacrificing yourself
To share with me your sign
That all is coming together
It's the end of cocoon-time

Lee

My angel
My master
My greatest gift
Along the endless sea did we drift
Until we found the other again
This time
It's you and me boy
For life
Now I am your mom who loves you
Puts no one above you
All I want is to hold you
To love you
To keep you
And guide you
Do my very best by you
Give you space to become who you'll be
And watch over you while you grow
Share all that is beautiful in me
Let you do your thing
Just you always know
I am your mom, I waited my whole life to be here with you
And I just love you so

Ashland

Great State of Jefferson
In the land of a million trees
Ashland you are rich
In magic for me

Lithia Park
With her blessed, blessing water
The jewel of your heart
Replenishes and revives

The me that had been missing
The forgotten part
The one with all the power
Now ready to restart
