Living in a tree house

Based on my love of the world and understanding of deep interdependence of all things, I vow

          To live in Earth more lightly and less violently on the food, products and energy I consume.

          To commit myself daily to the healing of the world and the welfare of all beings; to discern and replace human systems of oppression and harm.

          To invite personal discomfort as an opportunity to share in the challenge of our collective liberation.

          To draw inspiration, strength and guidance from the living Earth, from our ancestors and the future generations, and from our siblings of all species.

          To help others in their work for the world and to ask for help when I feel the need.

          To pursue a daily spiritual practice that clarifies my mind, strengthens my heart and supports me in observing these vows.

 

Only for a second

and its only for a second

that my heart stops --allowing for a wimpering 

a sadness and joy that emotion can not contain so its released in a cry

and there is nothing to say to anyone about anything

god sees the story and humble am i that i have none for i have

but barely reached my full potention in the heart of christ, in the eyes

of god, in the time i am blessed to do this work here on earth 

and this work is no work and all of it. 

blessed are he who believes and can not see

its enough of a suffering to be in grace

only for a second.

New Years morning

 

I stand still long enough,

hands on hips, moving my weight from side to side as if each hip gyration up and down will pump new information to the decisions infront of me

 

Should I stay or should I go. ? 

Like battleships coming on the horizon, thoughts and stories

They can be told endlessly and leave no room to hear

 I am home wherever I am, I am in christ heart and in the resting there now- is an uneasiness

That I am not in service that I am not in love and that the loving I offer out can be larger and more

 

Grandson david arrives for a month- I will be grounded so stay-

 

HILLSONG plays on my laptop, I order a speaker from amazon as its just not loud enough- My cortina who resided in the speaker I brough passed away with the other nights storm.

 

I decide to go Kayaking, I hear Gordon say don’t go alone

I decide to go , the time is sunrise,after new years eve,,,, I am sure Gordon will approve

 

I collect my passport and money and hide them in an unused bathroom inside a towel roll

I leave behind my phone and computer and bring my rosary and a bandana for my adventure

 

Back and forth I paddle- waves are building and I learn how to attend to them on an angle

Dark clouds draw them

 

And I paddle in

 

Should I stay or should I go?

 

Its nice to have the question-😊
