Hover little Hummingbird
Your medicine is Huge in these
dire and beautiful times

Law of Levity; we are not bound by it,
but beholden, yes!
Beholden (owing something, such as gratitude, to another; indebted...)

The medicine of Hummingbird
is JOY
Perhaps the only medicine powerful enough
to address the travesty
of dislocation
to the human spirit

So... now you know Why The Caged Bird Sings..
You know why the Hummingbird is
In Your Face!!!

What shall we do
as the Great Night comes gathering..?
Let * levity * lift..

Let that which delights you
sustain you
lest you be broken
with grief

Hover, hover... Levity
like the Hummingbird
Otherwise we are
Dead in the dust

Why are you here?? because someone
wished upon a star
(when everything's made to be broken
I just want you to Know Who You Are)

UNTITLED JOURNEY

Wingéd Bird
Steal my pierced heart
Fly with it high and higher
Till man and his earth
Are blurred and lost
Blind my eyes and deafen my ears
To lances that pierce
Voices that soothe
And
Hands that hold
Falsely

Carry my heart to a peaceful land
Of untouched beauty
Where Soul and Mind
Together
Disturbing no other
Lie in blissful Love

Let their child
The mother of a new creation
Be
Untainted by memories
Of a world past
Or flaws of destruction

 Let the child live
In the fruits
In the wisdom
Of a peaceful land
Growing
Maturing

Child of beauty
Are you ready?
Then
Return my healed heart to earth
Bring with you seeds
Of a new generation
Begin
Only when it is safe
And plant wisely
I will guard these seeds
With my life

THE IMPEDED STREAM IS THE ONE THAT SINGS:

"It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings." --Wendell Berry
