25 May




after surveying her needs

she could report that she was able to squeak by

with only a small treat once in a while

and then one day she left the north

and met with a mate 

who smiled at her

laughed even

and she became un-stuck

and remembered that 

even the pigeons outside her window

fluttered sometimes

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
