Heidi’s Haroset
April 5, 2015

Heidi in the hood
My next door neighbor Heidi is the perfect friend
Back fence border crossing is a frequent event
We share garden cuttings, flowers, seeds, and fruit
We taste each others’ recipes, passing portions of special foods
Each year at Passover I accept her yeast and other puffed up sin
I take it to my house so her great symbolic unleavening can begin
Heidi downtown
I am richly rewarded for turning cookies into nothing
I receive a container of Heidi’s haroset, the mortar of the Seder
Chocolate and cinnamon sugar covered matzoh bites are also my to savor
It is such a deal, believe me, to have my favorite items catered
No sweet red wine or reading all night, I am simply favored

Yucca
Plants connect to us and each other in magical expressions
Subtle healing, warnings, prophecy, psychic communications
Signature of each season and offering can be read like a heavenly
Treasure map aligned with our purpose as well as the cosmic
Meditation with a flower provides insight into the fleeting moment
Petals form quickly then begin to fall, revealing seeds of the future

Renewal

thorny issues
Renew belief in daily magic and mystical retreat
Throw caution over the cliff into the turgid water far below
If time waits and your ideals simmer on low heat for too long
Regret and confiscated creativity will overshadow your talents
Hourglass of weakening resolve spills multi colored sands
Through the narrow opening, sliding down toward eternity
With clear, smooth and unequivocably final gravitas

clouds in sky
Alchemy begins with me, a vessel for every need and purpose
My heartbeat connects to ancient chains, invisible bonds, and flying
Rhythmic rangers ride through dreams, telling tales of other planets,
Hold on to the reins and plot your flightplan, check your engines,
Clear the active runway for take off and ascend to your fated glory

Hawks and Hummers

hawk and hummer
Hawks and hummers build peace on earth in the pine tree
Nesting next to each other for social and security reasons
Flying out at dawn in search of different kinds of sustenance
Flowers gently lift their cups of nectar while mice scatter and hide
The tree takes care of hidden family members not yet prepared to fly
Above our heads and beyond our vision the world revolves and evolves
Peace on Earth

April Fool Romance
March 31, 2015

Jurgen and Ardell
Born to be together, nobody would ever guess
How destiny had formed their souls into a perfect fit
He is concerned with systems, mathematics, digital hacks
She is an intuitive healer, in possession of everything he lacks
They found themselves in Big Sur, a classic hippie venue
Aires attraction brought them in sync, and the magnetism continues
Sharing a birthday on April first these lovers celebrate diversity
Cherishing home grown romance, more abundant with each anniversary
These fools know the secret in taking risks is usually on the surface
Be the lover you were born to be by ignoring what makes others nervous
Happy birthday to my favorite foolish couple!
