My girl and constant companion, 'Little Wing'

Relax

3/21/09

"Life often reminds me."

'Wing' dog luxuriously reclined

on bed, her cushion,

legs crossed, slowly breathing

through nose, so content

from wood stove heat,

there are no worries,

she is cared for

at ease with life,

loved, often kissed, petted,

and the 'workshop' cats

stretch while they greet

leave their imprinted blankets

to rub against legs,

mine, when feeding them...

in 'Medicine Wheel' praying

bird's soothingly sing praise,

plants, flowers, trees, air,

are still, between worlds,

dawn light reveals fog

lazily enveloping this ridge

softening color and sound

creating a temple sacredness

that slows my heartbeat

finding Nature's peaceful rhythm

as I relax within.
