The Zebra Effect
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Roadside Stand
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Angry!


I can fight it

Or I can breathe into it

But I can’t pretend that it’s not there.

The effort of trying to get away

Is hopeless.

Hopelessness is the downslide.

Fear results.

 

You try it for

Yourself and see.

Fear results.

 

So, I breathe into it and say, “Okay.”

Then I move on to other things.

Dance of the Water Spirits
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Illumined
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


The Coming of the Light

Drive in the brilliant sunshine,

Feeling its heat through the car windows.


Then walk in the snow, in the crunching, child-like snow,

And feel light caress your face

While the blue jay cries.

A Winter's Day
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
Snow Scape
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Collage


I snip roughly round edges of brightly coloured paper

Choosing in the instant

This shape, that hue.

The magazines have many colours in them

And the choices are deliciously arbitrary.

There are words as well, like beacons on a dream landscape:

New

Earth

Energy

 

I will later cut a bit more artfully and

Paste.

Remind myself of what

Joy looks like

Feels like.
