[Riantee Rand]

> 
> Calypso Orchid. To my Son
>  
> I’ll meet you at the edge of time
> where your spaciousness and mine come together
> in the heart of the tiny, wide-eyed orchid,
> sitting at the foot of the big redwood
> and looking upon the world with innocence
> while purring with the contentment of an open heart
>  
> As we sit in our silence
> the small flower lover of the giant
> receives our beingness
> and offers us our true Self.
>  
> Redwood needles carpet our steps
> with tenderness
> as you guide me
> on the Fairy Slippers' trail
> that leads to our inspired self,
> that place of unity,
> the All in relation to All.
>  
> Without relationship
> nothing exists;
> in relationship
> there is everything.
>  
> And the tiny orchid with the many names
> sprinkles the forest floor
> with the love notes of spring. . .
> 
>                                     *****
>  
>  The Infinite Tenderness of Ordinary Things
>  
> How tenderly has the chair planted its four legs
> onto the maple floor
> that extends across the room
> to the infinite patience of windows
> encountering along the way
>             the willingness of table and sofa to be of service
> and reaching the walls and ceiling
>           where a merging dissolves the room
> allowing the sheltering to be complete
> thus restoring perfect faith
> in the support of all things
> as the woman walks in and sits
> in the centerless center of her house
> within a hall of mirrors
> revealing her true nature
> as the source of all that is
> in the silence that is the word of God.
