I don't know damn thing ~~ abandoned destinations ~~ so to dance and sing
2014-05-25
selfless Holy One ~~ "flowing with milk and honey" ~~ flower rising sun
2014-05-23
two meals eating flesh ~~ one meal makes the heart fall small ~~ the other, rise best
2014-05-18
fruit of the vine new ~~ no longer separated ~~ one in heart with you
2014-05-17
if you only knew ~~ holding back a torrent flood ~~ 'cause I care for you
2014-05-15
fair knight in distress ~~ sworn to become Holy One ~~ failed her in the quest
2014-05-13
what is this power?! ~~ vast ocean of time and space ~~ throe any hour
2014-05-12
practice every night ~~ letting go the waking dream ~~ peace that came with sight
2014-05-08
thank you Holy One! ~~ am truly blessed in all things ~~ rainbow cries; "the Sun!"
2014-05-05
bouncing off bedrock ~~ raindrops slowly chip away ~~ soft loam of Isaac
2014-05-04
eyes see the kingdom ~~ inward awe felt looking out ~~ in wonder through them
2014-05-03
Greenie and I sat ~~ same stories over coffee ~~ melt under my hat
