Silent Ferrywoman

Always the ferrywoman,

is silent, experienced,

masterful and adept,

in steering uncharted lands,

mooring, woman and man,

and at ease with it.

She is complete. 

For this reason she does

not need speech, because

she has knowing. 

Saying much with her waterlike

movements and calm.

I know the rythyms of nature,

the beat of the earth.

“What would you say if you

could speak to me?” I ask.

The answer is given in a thought,

transferred by the movement

of the water.

“Not a word. I would ask you to

think instead.  Do you wish to

be told everything?  The

mysteries are for you to

resolve.  That is the call of the

ancestors.”

Then I understood,

the silence was not of not

speaking, but of knowing.

Phoenix Child

Journey of Fire.

Satchel full of things

to take, flint and

paper, apple and quill,

notes for the way.

Travellers all,

gathering,

excitement crowd.

A page of history

disintegrates in the flames.

Orpheus – Again

 

Where is he?
Did the maenads
tear him apart again
with their glazed eyes?

No,
that is a cycle play -
a drama,
that goes under
and up again.

Evergreen,
he is everywhere
and grows
with or
without our
attentions.

Yet better
with them…
{Open your eyes
and see.}

There is More

There is a lot more to life than doing what is accepted.

There is a lot more to life than doing what is expected.

Spontaneity is an energy.

Expanding Territories

There is Abundance in Everything…
