gassing up the plane
yellow sun on horizon
I’m running on fumes
restless night owl
wings clipped over the Midwest
sleeping in mid-air
voicemail remains full
apologies to callers
delayed housekeeping
wings bobbing in sun
to avoid motion sickness

silent Moon hovers
dreaming of New Mexico
she sits for us all
off in the zendo
friends dancing in the middle
slow walk to the end
irrational mind
each day a new beginning
Summer wears your face

one rises, one sets
Moon cradled in snow branches
Sun births a new day
click! snaps the shutter
fingers frozen to the bone
nose running away
Wolf Moon howls at me
survival of the warmest
she wins every time
Note: Woke up to -18 degree temperatures in our zip code (-32 wind chills) and saw this through the window at sunrise. What a magnificent [...]

Bear circles Yule fire
drumming sunrise to sunset
gift of tobacco
cool blue snow cave hides
monks of the animal world
heartbeat disappears
long sleep of Winter
cubs born in hibernation
lean fat of the land
Winter Solstice past
contemplative Void lingers
the promise of Spring

I watched October’s moon all month long. The Full Hunter’s Moon rose over the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art after a soft rain. The museum winds upward along the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis. That night we were there [...]
