RainbowHawk

Beloved teacher and friend.

We met some eighteen years ago,

you were near 72, me aged 40,

I was ending a marriage, and seeking,

hoping to reconnect with my spirit,

with WindEagle you birthed Windtree,

where unlike yoga community at Mt. Madonna

there were hugs, laughter, times shared,

while willing to trade carpentry skills

for 'Earth Wisdom Teachings' of Mayan origin,

people who came enjoyed warm humanness,

discovered wisdom together during ceremonies,

stringing the beads, listening your explanations,

often long, full of enthusiasm to share,

as a Law Dog fierceness was needed,

seeing room for improvement in all territories

of a person, people, communities, and world,

from storied life a shaman's foresight evolved

marrying a great desire to be in service

striving to heal the hoop of 20 Count Creation,

this endeared anyone experiencing the authentic

soul courage exuding through your strong body,

decisive heart mind, adventuresome passion,

and inspirational creative freedom as a sacred human,

wherein we loved, cherished, appreciated you as friend,

brother, teacher, father, grandfather, and companion,

claiming you as our very potent RainbowHawk.

Endings eventually come,

usher in

beginnings,

Mother's last breath

inaugurates new

era,

delivers opportunity to

re-create my

world,

using moment in

time as

marker,

catalyst, choice point,

declaring major

shift

in myriad Life

territories, releasing,

receiving,

after precious magnitude

of Existence

lands,

recognizing how fleeting

living becomes

when

Death strips protective

layers, filters,

revealing

what's truly important

to pursue

now,

while directing my

story toward

completion.

This Is It

Each moment, more

so when

'passing'

through process of

releasing physical

mantle,

the 'Inevitable' turns

expectations upside

down,

dreams crash within

now surreal

living,

feelings, emotions, erupt

in every

witness

effected by magnitude

of cyclical

Life,

verily shaking ground

one stands

upon,

as Heaven's gates

open, shatter

hearts

with love for

cherished Soul,

realizing

this is it.

Final Push

Within life, work,

love, reside

cycles,

from holistic perspective

Existence simply

persists,

western linear thought

engages separation

mentality,

imagines beginning, end,

everything else

between,

invested  in timelines,

dates, always

measuring,

while stressful expectations

for meeting

'deadline'

rob situation of

playful anticipation,

excitement,

near 'completed' phase,

which naturally

dovetails

next moment, absent

final push.

Abruptly, surprisingly, unannounced,

fated opportunity

ascends,

inspires soulful contemplation,

engages energized

curiosity

in person, place,

thing, expansive

concept,

natural bubbly feelings ...

stimulating body,

mind,

spirit, opening heart

toward possibility,

potential,

life serendipity offers

each moment,

longer,

if destined beyond,

as attraction

expands

individual 'storied circle',

introduces feasible

inclusion

of miracles through

playfully poetic

actions

when mysteriously 'taken'.
