Except for the Jesus part, not bad. I looked for him but could not find him. Asked the Fairy Godmother and she said he is just a fairy tale.

Today's sunrise over the distant horse pasture and back garden. The sun glare creating long shadows with the silhouetted trees.

the sun's bouncing glare
illuminates the garden
warming winter snow

The one who gives,
by offeringβ€”
until even loss is luminous
quiet ..
to let fullness pass through
without asking to keep it.

They are known,
not by what they possessβ€”
but by what arrives
after they’ve been there.

A fragile ribbon of color floating through the sky.

A fragile ribbon of color floating through the sky.

Some say I’m hard to find
But I know
I appear when
Your dreams touch the clouds…

early morning sunrise

early morning sunrise

like ocean waves

our quiet voice ebbs, flows
hopeful, not naive

gravity doesn’t vanish

it finds balance

the world keeps turning


we notice beauty in small things—

like the sky painting itself each morning

a curve of a smile
breath deepens

there is meaning enough

right here, right now

shade of night
the earth sighing beneath me
chosen shadows imprinted
by spirits and broad cadence
signaling the presence
of blanketed bodies
lacking the state of sleep

A smiling, happy witch with green hair, rosy cheeks, blue pointy hat, purple dress and shoes, holding a broom on a sunny day filled with rainbows.

A smiling, happy witch with green hair, rosy cheeks, blue pointy hat, purple dress and shoes, holding a broom on a sunny day filled with rainbows.

A friendly witch in purple shoes
Cast spells that sparked in rainbow hues
She never brewed a wicked scheme
Just pumpkin pies and whipped-cream dreams

Beneath the weeping willow’s shade
Where shadows dance and memories fade
A heart in quiet sorrow sighs
For fleeting dreams and muted skies…

not really sacred
but deep quiet reverence
the moon eternal

A faint daytime moon floats in a clear blue sky beside the upper branches of a bare tree.

Blue sky, ghost of moon
empty branches remember
how light used to feel

A sunset landscape photo I took over a lake in Florida. The clouds are ablaze with gold, magenta, indigo, and pink. The rolling land is in silhouette. All is reflected on the mirrored surface of the lake.

This photo is paired in shahai form with a haiku poem I wrote:

Earth Day

Dearest Earth, thank you
For sheltering us through Space
Our wild garden ship

on sunday I pause
to watch the light
settle down
there's tenderness
in the way the earth
catches
what the sky discards
if only
we could learn
to hold loss
so lightly

Some blooms are shocking
With vivid abundance bright

Infinite

Infinite

No shadow binds,
no fear remains,
pure silence sings
through endless plains.

The stars unfold,
their secrets near,
eternal light
dissolves all fear.

We are the flame,
the breath, the sky,
the boundless soul
that cannot die.

All space is homeβ€”

I was leaving
until the road
refused to end
and I made a home
in the not knowing
