PULSING Grace...


...the poet is of words,
         the artist is of line and color, 
               the sculptor is of form and structure, 
                     the heart is of beauty in pulsing grace...

The Bounty and Grace... A Sunday offering...



The Bounty and Grace

Breath bestowed, so too
The bounty and grace of GOD
The warmth of the noonday sun
The rains in libation sweet
The ebb and flow of cresting waves
The many moods of a season
The beauty of flower and bloom
The flourishing trees in forests grand
The exchange of love and faith
The blessings in purpose known
The passions to ever prevail
The vision of quest and joy
The receiving, the having, the giving
The golden thread within
The bounty and grace of GOD.

The telling of the tea tag 🌿


Crescendo of Grace...


...at this hour... a Winter Day

the blue of the sky streaked with white 
the brilliance of the noon hour sun
the brown of the barren branch and bough 
the emerald of the evergreen trees 
the flutter of golden and russet leaves of fall 
yet taken to flight by the wind
a garden view from my window 
the orchestration of color, form, beauty
hear I in the silence and soft whispers 
the gentle wind, a crescendo of grace.

Golden Thread



Golden Thread

We are at the moment of conception a light force
Our light ever to BE ... Birth Eternal
Know thy light, a golden thread
The alchemic swaddling of self
A golden thread in the flow of spirit and hand 
A golden thread that bonds GOD 
Onto your giving soul your knowing heart 
A golden thread in the tapestry of BEING 
Golden
Golden
   Golden...
