Transparent

Transparent

As though through gauze, you live.

Only a thin layer in front of a deep open place.

Bearing your scent and history and your truth.

The pieces that were barriers, are cast aside, flowing away.

Your inside and your outside, transparent now.

All dieties, all saints, even Jesus, pays attention to this kind of courage, this true beauty.

A border thin like gauze, barely there remains.

Tranfiguring all over the place, remants of shapes shift.

Drift down covering notions of what you were supposed to be.

Revelation through a thin layer.

You show it, well.

birdsong

trolling for voters, watching the crash, dollar worth nothing, panic and flash.
the lines going downward, the pending gloom, changing accounts, signs of doom.
Fear not, for in the midst of shuddering, lurching, banks out of control, remember that there are a million birds who are singing right now, the sun will still rise tomorrow and creation shakes her head and laughs at our greed.

inspired

ok, so i've been inspired by a fellow poet, wanderer and artist and new dear friend.
the blog is taken up again, and perhaps this is a way to stay in touch with friends and family during my sabbatical. I will be on sabbatical Nov. 16 till March 1 after serving for 9 years on the BC Conference Staff of the United Church of Canada....yes!

now it's time for learning massage at the esalen institute and writing poems and learning spanish and travel.
