she heard a raven in the night

who’s caw did quell

tensions tight

shaking rite

which way to turn

to left or right

she heard its call

in quivering quiet

soothing internal riot

alone unsure

nearing freedom flight

3 spiders appear

cocreating

choice

inner sight

bison of my longing #micropoetry #vss

an oldie but a goodie 🙂

Clear Wind Blows Over the Moon

wild violets grow

fragrant

in the sacred hollow of my being

where bison of my longing wallow

and distant memories

of future belonging sleep

Join us for a Nature Meditation 8 p.m. EST, Tuesday, Jan 24th

~

Come join me online as I lead you on a nature meditation
out on the land and to a beautiful ceremony and into a circle of stones with a sacred fire in the center.

In my Nehiyawewin language, fire is iskotêw ᐃᐢᑯᑌᐤ.

As we journey along, I will pepper in some of my own amazing and magical experiences that I’ve
been gifted with in nature and I will also share some Indigenous teachings.

All are welcome to join us and it’s a great way to get present and let go of whatever you are carrying that isn’t for your highest good, releasing that right into the fire.

It’s also really wonderful to feel and experience nature and the elements and the creature beings and winged ones
and in new ways; ways you may not have ever thought of before.

This is the first kick off of our weekly gatherings so the energy exchange is just $10.

those who
love the earth
respect her
honour her
cherish her
walking softly
every step a prayer
and / or a good intention
enjoying an intimacy
with the planet
as mother
as nurturer
providing
all that’s needed
and by doing so
sanctify her
and she feels this
knows this
welcomes this
❤

many times

they sought

to extinguish the light

but even when not bright

the embers smoulder

only to reignite

when the timing is right

feed the glint

creation is imminent

her head leans back

gazing at the cosmos

her back arching

like the milky way

inviting in

stellar pathways

of star kisses

along exposed neckline

a delightful horizon

to further cosmic delights

spider medicine comes to remind us

to become conscious co-creators

look around and ask yourself

what have you created?

what is your life?

no matter what it is; how you’ve made choices that led to this place where you find yourself today

this can be very hard to own

not to discount external contributing factors

such as the colonial systems that oppress us

but owning one’s part

in allowing

in complying

by existing

these silent agreements to continue to hold up these deeply flawed systems

that go against spiritual law

that can’t last

that aren’t even real

they’re only real in so far as humans agree they are

so today I invite you to choose differently

to choose life

to choose truth

to focus on what matters

the tree

the elements

the part of you that exists here outside of all the human made systems

the star-being part of you that is limitless

that knows anything is possible

that knows that there are better ways of being

better ways of living

that are supportive

that matter

that will make our world

a wonderful place to be

grieving

not being able to see all of the stars

one’s ancestors saw

this manufactured life

agreed to by humans

led to this moment

this place

this space

that isn’t kind

doesn’t want to know you

barely can grind on, itself

so don’t go looking for it

to help you out

or care

cuz it doesn’t

“they” is used below as a singular pronoun for a 2 spirit, non-gender or a gender fluid person.

they ooze starry blue

from cosmic torn skin

we are all made of stars

we come from the cosmos

laying back

looking up

looking within

letting the stars

pattern their skin

reminding them

all those places they’ve been

aligning them

with their light being kin

silencing

the human din

stretching out

welcoming them in

feeling the starshine

glowing from within

I love trees

their simple sways

their tentative tangles

neural networks of branches

comforting complexity

fearlessly framing

happily holding up the sky

their true trunks

beckon hugs

from solitary souls

and mulling meanderers

craning to view

these soothing wise kind

ancient few

I saw the moon in my coffee cup today

she gave a knowing smile at my sleepiness

and invited me in

tree skeletons

hoist up the sky

sunbeams streak thru

taut clouds

taught children

stories in their shapes

streaking to orange

pink

grapefruit

mango

flames

alight on

robin’s acapella

sleepyness begins

early to

appease

confusion

distress

seemingless

street

and its muddles

of puddles

laying in moonlight

as the embers die

drum illuminated by her

lean back against old oak

surrounded by strong bones of trees

showing clearly now

tweeting and twittering

a flurry of tiny birds fly overhead

the soft pitter patter of grieving rain

as it tenderly touches the earth

brilliant coloured leaves flutter all around

bagpipes play in the distance

~

looking up at big trees

brilliant colours

leaves branches and tree bones

showing now

stark against the pensive november sky

a few magically flutter down

around

walking crunching sounds

birds sing and chirp

busyness fades away

time slows down

breathe deeply

in this moment of rest

ready for another day

nov 3 2022 #micropoetry #vss

manufactured silence

lies along the horizon

of the stressed city

like a fish

out of water

waiting to take its last breath

but the winds

do not blow

I saw a caterpillar

the other night

slink along

under a curious moon

her greenness

and her smoothness

looked out of place

on city concrete

I watched her

till she slinked away

under a dead leaf

escaping to a decaying place

of hidden glories

so she too

could join them in rest

and eventual death

hawk lands before me

we watch each other intently

tired leaves float by
