A WEB to spin...

As a Consultant/Therapist… when listening to the expressed need of a person, hear I, the resolve… 
a poetic dialogue ensues in heart… and so it is...

A WEB to Spin…

From deep hurt and loss a web to spin
In threads of anguish caught her heart within
Soulful reflection and resolve to proclaim
In forgiveness and faith to call God’s name
To feel the knowing, the purpose, the plan
Ever God’s gift to life, woman and man
Free be her heart and lamenting soul
In glory she to live life’s goal
Entanglements need not confining be
She to hold to life’s decree
The beauty of a spider’s web be it known
For the intent fulfilled and the artistry shown
So too, within our hearts threads of time, people and place
And within a web we may so place
Yet each thread is created anew to interweave
So too, with each thought we bear to conceive
Within these threads of creation and time
Behold the magic, the mystery, the wondrous divine.

Following the Coppers...

Following the Coppers…

His focused, discerning lens of light

Catching moments in stillness, moments in flight

Form, structure, color, beauty to behold

The glory of Creation’s story be it told

Wings that flutter in soaring splendor divine

Touched be this abiding soul, abiding soul mine.

Majesty's Calling...

Rick Bunting, Nature Photographer Extraordinaire, has captured the soaring flight, and the mating dance of the Bronze Copper Butterfly.  He states that the "engagement begins with the couple facing each other.” 

Majesty’s Calling...

So telling is the flight and fancy of the butterfly

In splendor it soars to bloom and vistas high

It faces its mate in nature’s array

To bring majesty’s calling to this hour, this day

With grandeur its wings in flutter be known

Creation’s glory in grandeur lovingly shown.
