Allegiance

Allegiance

What if we replaced every flagpole with a tree?
Flags were designed as a symbol of affiliation –
Allegiance.
I have never pledged allegiance to the United States of America,
Because that is not where my loyalties lie.
I am a child of Mother Earth.

Risk

What if you could set your
Mind-Body-Spirit free
By throwing caution to the wind,
By turning off your “internal editor,”
By daring to be bigger than your
Own small sphere of existence?

Joy

Joy

Joy is belonging –
Laughter with loved ones,
Piled on top of each other.
Joy is liberation –
Freedom to be yourself in a world that usually doesn’t understand.

Blackberries

Blackberries

We stumble endlessly upon beauty
And the fruits of the Earth.
Our winding conversations
Sweep us through infinite fields
Of crackling summer grass,
And carry us along on the soft sea breeze.
