THIS WORLD
...of hidden wonder
and astonishing intimacy
solitude lingers on it's breath -
an infusion of promise and vulnerability crowds its lungs.
This world
...of starry realms
and translucent moments,
where tree tops dance complex rhythms in howling winds
and revelation tastes like salty ocean spray.
This earth
...of profound intensity
and outspoken beauty
encapsulates love in abundance and orients the heart
toward horizons of compassion -
astonishing the mind with breathtaking views.
This place
...full of magical secretes
dissipating in morning mist,
where each new dawn gently nudges closed eyes open
and enters dormant hearts on an enlightened breeze -
delivering fresh gifts of unlimited possibility.
This life
...of remarkable texture
and dynamic aliveness -
insight cuts her path keenly through bitter experience
passion explodes into night skies and memories drift gently back to earth.
This moment
...of expanding depth and wonder draws me in as
I apprentice myself to the beckoning calm of blue sky and ancient forest wisdom -
pausing to listen to lilting songs from wild birds echoing in laughter of the very young,
my body absorbs discreet blessings as my heart unfurls like a leaf toward light.
This world
...so beautiful,
so very beautiful.
