Some times
you just need a best friend
a hot drink
and an adventurous 3 year old...
filled with curious and wonder.
Sometimes you just need
a morning walk by the ocean
in a magical land where people reside on the water
living and co-habitating by their own laws.
A land where the heron chills...
where there are benches to sit on
where the eagles make out...
(get a nest!)
where homes come cheap
and the meat ball soup is in abundance
AND very nutritious and delicious.
Sometimes you just need
to be in a land where bikes hang on loft sides
and boots are used as mailboxes.
A place
where the hawk stands guard
or sits...
whatever it is...
he chooses to do....
guarding...
whatever it is he is guarding.
All this
and then
to return
to the peace and tranquility
of a home filled with love and light
and magic stones
and mystical crystals
and naked children laughing in the warm waters
of Hawaii
A home that has
little hands playing with lego
while big hands put things away.
And where the fires burn warm and hot
well hotter than warmer...
actually very hot
fire hot
as indeed
it is a fire.
Yes my lovelies
sometimes you just need a day like today
when you can walk and talk with someone who knows you
who sees you
who gets you
and you her.
When you are reminded that we are all going through things
learning the lessons of life and death
rejecting the status quo for something deeper
and more meaningful.
A day when you are reminded
that life is beautiful
and the earth is speaking
and God is watching
and Love is abundant.
A day where the goofy and the joyful
can dance in the face of adversity and uncertainty
Where money is rocks
and food is sticks
Where peeing and having your aunty take a picture
of you doing so
is the most wonderful thing in the world
so much so you want to do it again on your door step but this does not go over too well with mommy and aunty.
A day where dogs do weird things
and people do even weirder things.
Where truck trailers have powers
and cookie crumbs get into belly buttons.
Yes my lovelies
today
is a day
we all should have...
everyday.
What are you doing today?
Love and Light
