“Nasturtiums slow dance”

Nasturtiums slow dance
In the soft summer breezes
To Nature’s rhythms

Pulsing through the Milky Way
And stones on the garden path

Immaculate Conception III

Undivided    Unconditioned
Incorruptible Light pulses
Through a possible Future Age
Into the timelessness of Now
To nourish the Child and its host
As they both rapidly mature
Through transformational stages
To ultimately coexist
In the Oneness of Cosmic Man

Early August

The morning garden chatter spoke
Of the ripening chokecherries:
In a week the firm green berries
Have become a plump burgundy.

Soon after the fledglings have flown
The annual gathering begins
With errant flights of drunkenness;
Ending in somber discussions
Of migratory timeliness.

Paths I, viii

Awakening to the morning sun
   We accompany the birds and sing
   Our thankfulness for light of day
   And render this our offering. . .
Humble gifts of selfless action
   Toward a world in harmony.
      While seeking love and brotherhood
      Along the dimly lighted way
      We cast aside evil for good
   Finding actual Reality.
The quest is made with devotion
   For the future Humanity
   To evolve its true Identity.

For they will find Reality
The moment we begin living
In Harmony with Destiny.

For Ocean

The dead carcass that recently washed ashore
Has been curiously gawked at from afar,
Repulsively hovered over and stick-poked
By clutching lovers and beachcombers alike.
Each successive high tide pushes it further,
To ultimately rest in odoriferous decay
On river washed and surf polished stones
For the seagulls, crows and various insects
To greedily pick at in ceremonial feast.

One Way or the Other
```
    In the city,
Alone
    Becomes mechanical,
For one must
Turn off all
    The corruption
    And pollution.

Listening Point

Pend d’Oreille, remember the time
Before time when in the womb 
Of your mother Lake Missoula
You heard her tell of the upheaval
That violently birthed these mountains;
When horizontal layers of rock
Instantly pitched to angles
That today disorient my eye;
Appearing to fall directly
Into their own reflection.

Birthday

The gift on your doorstep
Today
Was imagined and created
Yesterday
With every thought
Word and deed
