Yes!


When the wind blows
and brings with it
goodness from the
far places of the world

when the fragrance of
roses and lilies
fill the air
and intoxicate

when beautiful people
arrive in your life
just because
God said they should

when your heart is stirred
until its on fire
and your skin burns
with the beauty

Say, YES.

Say Yes, my loves
to the goodness
sprouting from your
very own heart

Say Yes
to the Spirit that
so beautifully causes
heaven and earth to collide

Say Yes
to firecrackers
and the calm
knowing that goodness is Yours.

Say Yes
Say Yes
Say YES!

What was said to the Rose...


What was said to the rose that made it open
was said to me here in my chest.

What was told the cypress that made it strong and straight,

what was whispered the jasmine so it is what it is,


Whatever made sugarcane sweet,

whatever was said to the inhabitants of

the town of Chigil in Turkestan that makes them so handsome,
whatever lets the pomegranate flower blush like a human face,

That is being said to me now.

I blush.


Whatever put eloquence in language, that's happening here.
The great warehouse doors open,

I fill with gratitude,

chewing a piece of sugarcane,


in love with the one to whom every *that* belongs!

Today...

National Arboretum, Washington, DC

...was a day of weirdness and surprises that weren't pleasant.
So I'm in my little cottage, soothing the edges and
waiting for the storm to blow over.

All is well - all will be well.

Blessing from the Beautiful Celts...


May the blessing of light
be on you -
Light without
and
Light within.

May the blessed sunlight
Shine on you -
and warm your heart
til it grows like a great peat FIRE.
