grace surrounded us
as hawk and humans surrendered fear
courage was found and help accepted
DETAILS: We managed to cut the barbed wire fence,
and softly secured the hawk who was picked up by the Fish and Game Warden
and taken to a bird rescue where he/she had surgery and will be rehabilitated

loving what is

me through my
transgressions of faith
the thing

in residence
with the darkness

find you
as you are
wings wide
the day embraced
one with everything
the open gate
invites me
into the new day
in the garden
everything of importance happens
in its own time and way
clarity found
in the misty woods
eternity is always now

At life’s table

Rocks and trees know not to struggle

Change is forever pulling or pushing.
Do not begrudge the current its way.
The place to be
is precisely where you are.
The water glitters and shouts as it rushes on
carrying memories of perfection from the freshness of youth.
Age tempers today’s perfection with the acceptance of impermanence
making the glitter more brilliant and the shouting more joyful.
