inside


Who is it
breathing inside
the shameless green
moment
grace chooses?

the sky's whisper

Together under
the little red
whisper
the sky thinks,
we let the world
open.

This is one from the haiku magnetic poetry kit.

this slow stream

Surrounded by change,
listen for a flower
of fire
remember to trust
the secret color
this slow stream
thinks

smoke's brother


Bring home
the animal grace
your spirit needs,
the brilliant thread
of smoke’s warm red brother.

Something quick from the haiku magnets. I keep coming back to that koan about the red thread.

About Me

My photo
Georgia, United States
I live at the edge of the forest in a little town in the north Georgia mountains. I teach sixth grade Language Arts and am writing a memoir of sorts about family, spirituality, and narrative. I am also exploring a possible writing project having to do with contemporary lay contemplative experience and how it might be informed by the Desert Fathers and Mothers of early Christianity. I am a relatively recent convert to Roman Catholicism and an admirer of Pope Francis, Leonardo Boff, Joan Chittister, and Richard Rohr. I'm a Lay Associate of Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Monastery in Conyers, Georgia. I am interested in indigenous cultures, narratives, and spirituality, especially how these can inform my spirituality as a lay contemplative. I write, read, take pictures, play around with creating ephemera from paper and cloth and other organic things. I cook, hike, watch wildlife, and collect random bits of interesting oddness, both tangible and abstract. I am a seer of smallness and a caretaker of ridiculous minutiae.
