I am not in control
of the rain-
the insane
or pain

but gain
control of self
by belief

I am not alone-
the flyleaf
tells me so

the loose leaf
holds my notes-

the cloverleaf
brings relief
from disbelief-

an interleaf
of magic’s
motif

grown by rain
God’s reign.

My Animal Spirit Totem

sea-otter-mother-and-newborn-notecard-24

Mother Otter and Baby

 

Otter
Otter holds power in the Below Realm, the world of water and emotions. Otter also draws some power from the Middle Realm, the world where humanity dwells. Otter is the guardian of the direction of North-Northeast. Otter manipulates the elemental powers of air within the element of Earth, this is where the interactive mind goes beyond the limitations of the rational world.
As an animal spirit totem, Otter teaches to be unpredictable, stepping out of the box of mundane conventionality. Otter possesses great skills at finishing tasks, letting nothing stand in its way as to distract or hinder progress. Otter teaches you to allow your curiosity, creativity, honesty and intuitiveness to be your guide through any project. Though people may not understand your methodology, your end results will speak for themselves. Otter has a memory like a steel trap for details, retaining everything ever taught or learned through experiences. Otter wants to know all the specifics, opinions, and perspectives of others, and awaits the opportunities to share all he knows with others, with great enthusiasm. So with this, Otter teaches to be mindful of being overbearing in conversations, and not to always share everything you know all at once.
Otter is extremely playful, marching to the beat of his own drum. Anytime is a good time to frolic about and dance in the moonlight. Otter teaches that this is a healthy attitude to take towards life, however, remember to keep your feet firmly planted as to bring yourself back down to Earth when there is work to be done and a steady focus is needed.

share smile and blow it

across the great divide-bag

blows, lungs blow, blows strife aside!

become the wall

or

a giant pine-cone to leap the wall

in the wind

footprints on my chest

footprints

The visible and the in-


by Marge Piercy

Some people move through your life


like the perfume of peonies, heavy


and sensual and lingering.

Some people move through your life


like the sweet musky scent of cosmos
so

delicate if you sniff twice, it’s gone.

Some people occupy your life


like moving men who cart off


couches, pianos and break dishes.

Some people touch you so lightly you


are not sure it happened. Others leave


you flat with footprints on your chest.

Some are like those fall warblers


you can’t tell from each other even


though you search Petersen’s.Some come down hard on you like


a striking falcon and the scars remain


and you are forever wary of the sky.We all are waiting rooms at bus


stations where hundreds have passed


through unnoticed and others

have almost burned us down


and others have left us clean and new


and others have just moved in.

I’m in love with a priest again…

Mother Eileen Weglarz

 

holiness grabs me

 

male or female,  prophets grab me

scholars light my mind;

give voice to prayers-and

make my juices flow!

 

 scholars light my mind

fill it with Living Word;

Wisdom and the Spirit’s gifts :

my mission conferred.

 

give voice to  prayers

in song and verse;

 stories grip my heart

and times traverse.

 

make my juice flow

lustrous grace like rain

soothes my arid roots

lest they  wither/wane.

thank you to:
