“Being” Playful

I think it’s something – play – play is something to really think about, you know, because I say that to myself…..

“I think that sense of playfulness is the sense of being alive; that’s another aspect of being awake and the fluidity. It’s really about fluidity, about being so in the moment that you are in pinpoint focus, but at the same time, you’re completely open to what the moment has to give you or to tell you. And I think that has to do with the playfulness and people can feel that.”

Our Time

This is our time,
this is our work, the elders say.
Stop the blame, the wringing wrenching
fear that hopes
for nothing
everything.
What awaits our yes
amidst this great unknown
is stepping back stepping up
to sacrifice
unexamined rhythms
to find new sanctuary,
gatherings only of intention
to deliver in new form
kindnesses at hand–
necessaries to neighbors
conversations across thresholds
anything you need meaning
don’t be scared.
Walking hand in virtual hand
a brilliant bluebird lights up
the canvas of grey days,
calls far and wide speak of life
unfolding as cherry blossoms
or cloaking as heavy snow
freshly made cookies wrapped
in polka dotted love
wait on doorsteps
to delight.
