Dreams of coming and going;. The tension of messiness and imperfection. The old, old wounds we carry around. Into every new connection. I love you, even in your pain and your untidyness,.

Nana Maxine moved slowly,. Inching along with her cane, which. She might point at you menacingly,. If you were out of line,. With an arched eyebrow,. An impish smile rippling across her face.

On January 1st we smashed pumpkins in the front yard,. Dubbing them "the Baby New Year," and filling them. With our hopes and aspirations,. In an impromptu ritual of endings and beginnings. At midsummer a vine began to grow,. Lengthening with the long days of August and September,. Sprouting lavish yellow blooms that nurtured the bees.

A Community of the Spirit. On religion / spirituality, culture, and travel, as inspired by the Sufi poet Jelalludin Rumi. Tuesday, April 2, 2013. I flew a quarter-span of the globe. To the middle of the South Pacific,. Tracing the balms of coconut and vanilla. Back to their island roots. I saw the Southern Cross for the first time. Tahitian dreams made real,. Rendered in shades of aquamarine. No artist's palette could conceive. Greeting the sandy beach. A quiet meeting of land and sea. I woke at dawn.

A Community of the Spirit: November 2011

A Community of the Spirit. On religion / spirituality, culture, and travel, as inspired by the Sufi poet Jelalludin Rumi. Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Another cool fall morning. Moist air drapes the world. In a blanket of dew that falls, lazily,. From the pecan trees in sparse droplets,. Each hitting the ground with a distinct "splat,". Giving the illusion of rain. The air feels thick and not quite hazy;. Morning sun presses through. In soft rays, giving shape to space. Dogs bark, but with less urgency.
