…
Winter floats in soft,
with the scent of pine
and rain
and I long
to shed this aching
skin, learn
stillness.
………silence.
You came down
to hold these storms
(all is calm)
in tiny hands,
light of the world
…..(all is bright)
begun;
a spark
…………..(hark)
in a stable,
a song to be sung.
The trees know
how to let go,
give wings to leaves,
bare all
…….and fall
in love with sky.
I
wish for stars,
some tangible beam
to balance my heart,
to follow to find
……the You
I already know
is at my center.

I have been taking an apparently much needed post-November craziness, birthday and Christmas season break…but I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and peace and joy as we ring in the new. In a few days I will be in Lake Tahoe, and we all know that brings out the Blue.

Enjoy your little piece of heaven in Tahoe, as was this poem:)
De, this is remarkable! So easy to move with this. I especially love the trees bare all, to fall, in love with the sky.

“skin-learn stillness” … I love that.
The trees knowing how to let go is just perfect!
