A road

A path

A channel

One mode of existence

Dissolving &

Another condition

Forming

Becoming

A

Caterpillar

Dissolves into mushy mess

Before reforming into beautiful

Butterfly

A

Seed is buried

Lost in the ground

Before realizing the tree living

Inside

Summer gives way to

Fall gives way to

Winter gives way to

Spring…

Mother gives birth to daughter

Daughter gives birth to mother

Cycle of life…

Flower buds

Flower blossoms

Flower dies

Oh but such radiance in full bloom

A hangout for hummingbird

Sparrow & butterfly

Birds & insects

Gather & sip nectar

Listen to buzz of bee wings

Melodies dance on spiderweb strings

Pollen spreads about town

So as flowers fall

Mother Earth opening arms to receive

Her floral gifts bits of fragrance

Linger here there &

Everywhere

Transitions

Allow us to become

More of ourselves

Newer versions of ourselves

Shinning flashlights in all corners of our being

Awakening the giant sleeping within

Laying dormant until stressors…

Sun & fire & rain & windstorm

Cause us to burst open

Our insides dissolving into mush

Nourishment for roots & wings to sprout

Grounding us even as we prepare to die

Crowning us even as we prepare fly

From this life to the next

It’s a matter of context

So breathe in this cocoon

Let life do its thing

Let seeds fall where they may

Let trees small at first

Grow tall

Do what is to be done

Today believing…

The best is yet to come
