Still Here

Today I come to you. The humidity is so heavy I can feel it masking my skin and pulling my eyelid’s down, “sleep, sleep, sleep”.

Where is hope today? I awoke this morning. I walked to you my spring waters. I do not wear my diamonds. I do not wear my light ... for today I am still here and for this alone I give thanks.

Summer Morning

 

This morning the pond is covered by a green carpet of algae. I feel this urge to interact with these waters and make a ripple but cannot find anything heavy enough to do what I quest… no rocks or heavy branches, none.

 

Did I look hard enough or did I just scan the surface?  I see a tall but thick weed, break it, and throw it in but it is too light to make a difference. It just floats above not moving, not making a difference, none.

I decide to continue to search and lo and behold, I spy a heavy branch. Yes. I run to the waterside again…stand on a mound and with leverage throw it in…yes ripples. In that moment of contact the water became clear and opens itself to me.

Oh clear water which lies below even though you are covered again with algae, I know for that moment I felt joy. How long did that moment last?  It’s just a matter how one perceives time.

How deep was the joy?  It’s just a matter of how long I opened my heart.

Calling My Name

I feel sorry for the people who don’t see beauty in nature for in this wilderness  there is always a lover calling my name.

Yes, There Is a G-d

The longer I live the more there is to love

Love is infinite

As long as I can hear the gaggling geese, the guttural call of the toad and the xylophone chirping symphony of the lark and the robin, I know I am alive

In the midst of such grandeur I can feel g-d and it is good so good
