Union comes alone.

≈ Comments Off on Union comes alone.

With fluid reach

cypress hold both the sun

and gathering birds, giving audience

to dawn.

Union comes alone

not in the company of thought,

thought anchored by convenience-

convenient right and wrong, reliable should and shouldn’t..

No and Union hear infinitely different music.

Moving to what the oak and crow listen to,tree, light

freedom arrives,

the controls of ethics not limiting the ability

to discern the sound of light and

feel the texture of color

painting the day.

the solitude of wonder

As I dive, blind, into this new project, I laugh at the perfect imperfection of creating it. Not knowing the language of computers, grateful for the fairly intuitive design of the site, confused (still) about proper effective comma usage, I sit with wine and music with the larger thought- how to convey the solitude of wonder, the continental uplift of my small world. A rugged new mountain range forms as the familiar landscape violently deconstructs. I savor the question of what I aim to do here, why I’ve taken this on, especially now, and what I might offer those sharing the story with me. I may continue to savor that a long while, allowing the natural definition of being rooted in grace to lend its form to me. Forced words are caged butterflies. I prefer to invite the unknown to speak through me. Together, we shall learn and create something beautiful.

The creation of this space~

About:
Rooted, embodied, bound, nourished.
In.
Grace, the Infinite, artful movement, the expression of silence.

A gathering of the ephemeral and the limitless.

A medicine of word.
