Calypso Orchid. To my Son
 
I’ll meet you at the edge of timewhere your spaciousness and mine come togetherin the heart of the tiny, wide-eyed orchid, sitting at the foot of the big redwoodand looking upon the world with innocence while purring with the contentment of an open heart
 
As we sit in our silencethe small flower lover of the giantreceives our beingness and offers us our true Self.
 
Redwood needles carpet our stepswith tendernessas you guide meon the Fairy Slippers' trailthat 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 namessprinkles the forest floorwith the love notes of spring. . .
                                    *****

 
 The Infinite Tenderness of Ordinary Things
 
How tenderly has the chair planted its four legsonto the maple floorthat extends across the roomto the infinite patience of windowsencountering along the way             the willingness of table and sofa to be of serviceand reaching the walls and ceiling          where a merging dissolves the roomallowing the sheltering to be complete thus restoring perfect faithin the support of all thingsas the woman walks in and sits in the centerless center of her housewithin a hall of mirrorsrevealing her true natureas the source of all that isin the silence that is the word of God.
