This day, like every day,
we wake – we wake!

We are the alive ones, the ones here, now,
in this world, in this life,
in love and able for gratitude. 

Sun pouring in on a honey of a morning,
scent of autumn in chamisa and aster,
drench of ponderosa and nuthatch chirrup. 

Peace in the early rooms of our heart, this earth house,
hearth of the body’s holy spin.

Crazy & elegant; fresh, sacred and wholly blessed!

I am here with you, as you with me,
and we are home, opening the door,
lucky us!

to the Beloved.
