Named Trees 25 Kaua'i 11-23-14 010 True Refuge

learning to trust in the waves

to bring us home with every breath

deepening and widening the arc our one heart

from me to thee to we

dancing the path of great mystery

~

may we all be filled with lovingkindness

may we all feel safe and at ease

may we all accept ourselves just as we are

may we all be deep peace

Named Trees 16 Rhody Garden 6-1-14 023+

waking dream of being in a flood… how do i handle this disaster?  thanks to a friend for offering support and an emergency kit… i’ve always believed we can make it through anything as long as there’s another beating heart with us, thousandfold thanks, Colleen, for moving me from emergency to emerge and see…

like others before, the flood blesses me with the knowing that it/s the season of being Joan of Ark and building a sanctuary deep in the heart to be sacred surrender, to dance with divine mystery, to be my story, mystery…

from this moment, i love being true refuge in unfolding mystery…

Named Trees 14 Oregon Japanese Garden 2-23-14 Tree

venture out into the bluster

to have a heart to heart with a beloved friend

stark and naked now, she stands in beauty still

arms outstretched offering sanctuary and soulace

whispering emphatically to come inside and be, just be

methinks this moment is for listening to sage tree

to come inside and rest in beauty

being home in harmony…
