A glance away...
in haiku reflection
alchemic it is
nature in frivolity
but a glance away.
A glance away...
To the left of my computer desk, on the second floor of my home, is a window that overlooks a garden of green. Closest is the Dogwood Tree with its amber, gold and red leaves, heralding the coming days of Fall. To the left and right of the Dogwood is bamboo, and further back are oak trees, and pine trees of many seasons. Here I, above ground, as the afternoon winds blow, branches bearing leaves sway in lilting grace. Quietude fills my space, and all of nature’s frivolity is but a glance away.
As a young child I would look to the sky for solace, for what I perceived to be GOD, and unconditional love, for God gave the same sky to me, as HE did to kings and queens. What was on high was to be untouched by hands, to remain pure in its intent, to be where GOD choose to be. In a city wrought with ceaseless activity, I imagined myself in a choir of angels singing sweetly as did the songbirds perched in trees on high.
In reflection, in reverence, I behold the world on high, the tall trees that ascend to spaces above Earth’s ground, to the nourishment of the sun, the fires that sustain, of the rain, the waters that refresh, of the moving currents of air, the breath of life itself.
YES, quietude fills my space, and all of nature’s frivolity is but a glance away.

Haiku in Triune ~ Waters of Divinity
the roar of rapids
the resounding crest of waves
spirit's crescendo.
the babble of brook
the sweet surrender of streams
lakes in quietude.
rain in libation
waters of divinity
blessings of baptism.

Haiku in Triune - The Sea
the sea lies within
currents of change to prevail
breath, the ebb, the flow
thoughts in cresting play
cascade of mindful intent
breath, the ebb, the flow
waters of spirit
to quench the thirst of longing
breath, the ebb, the flow.

Magenta Be The Mood...

Magenta is a deep purplish-red color that is a primary subtractive color for light. Sometimes identified as fuchsia or hot pink, magenta is a mixture of red and blue/violet wavelengths that cannot be generated by a single wavelength of light.
Magenta dye was discovered in 1859 — the same year as the Battle of Magenta. The dye, also known as fuchsine, was named in memory of the blood shed during the battle between French and Austrian forces in the small Italian city.

Blood representing the red ray of life force itself, violet representing the ray of spirit, the quest for realization, the summit of liberation and freedom... and so the magenta, the blood and spirit in accord.
This the ray of integration ... all above all below..
the red of the root, the violet of the spirit, the ONE in manifestation.
