Now

Few are the bubbles of thoughts that can fill my brain and

Take me away to travel (future)to lists of what is needed in the Townhouse (fear)

Or my loving Children organizing them- (order) endlessly facetiming them ( connection)

 

Im ever so grateful for the spacious wind ,

the sound of the birds,

the spreading out of time

Ever present this moment that I can see

I can see - the distance on my horizon

Every present this moment I can hear-

Hear me calling away towards

 Future, Fear, order and connection  

 

Thank goodness or I might drift away into god

 

blinded each day by the gaze of the sunrise

Swaddled under moons twinkling blanket of sky

 

I get excited into the moment of planning

- I negotiate with myself ….

Efficient and diligent I sit on fear,

Something I haven’t even seen is driving perfection

as if it can be ordered-

as I order the kids schedules

And cars and cape air and coaches and drivers and flights

as we whisk everyone home and

everyone gets the memo

 

Peace lies with it all

space and time I have befriended

and the new norm vacation is

21 days.

Most high god

O nobilissima viriditas

By Hildegard von Bingen

(1098 - 1179)

English version by Barbara Newman

 

Most noble

evergreen with your roots

in the sun:

you shine in the cloudless

sky of a sphere no earthly

eminence can grasp,

enfolded in the clasp

of ministries divine.

You blush like the dawn,

you burn like a flame

of the sun.

By the sea

It’s on my knees

Darkness

Sounds of the sea

I see the shimmering water

Under the street lamp

God moves in the light of the night

God moves in me

I am the sea

I close my eyes

And I am the wind

And the light twinkling under the moon

And the street lamp
