Truth & Beauty: Happy Birthday

01 November 2011

Nudged via universal encouragement

I journey to explore the world external

Activating the world internal

A Dryadian whisper

Over here, look over here

Prior to my eyes

attaining their destination

A familiarity filled me

Considering quiet correlations

Of surprising susurrations spilled

Astride mountaintop efflations

Forest skin tattooed by lovers

In my now, I see her eyes

And replay our last embrace

My eyes light on the arborous appendage

An uncommon treasure, assuredly

Clutched, kissed, blessed,cherished

The Dragonfly

Sunrise brings another day
The warmth of life
Kisses my skin softly

A dragonfly lights
My beats quicken
A gift from afar

A touch on my heart
A breath of thankfulness
A happy birthday

Happy 90th Birthday Pete Seeger

My apologies for being 12days late to recognize your birthday, Pete. You have been an inspiration to me since the first time I heard you sing...I believe it was on PBS in the early 1970s.

To my best recollection, this is the very first Pete Seeger tune I remember hearing. Strangely, it makes me feel warm and hopeful.

For fans of the show "Weeds", here's the original version of "Little Boxes":

May you always be accompanied by peace, love and harmony.

Santa Burning 2008

I had a blast performing for Natalie at her annual birthday/holiday party.

Here's a bit of holiday fire fun captured by her daughter, Shannon Elliot:

It's too bad you can't see the lovely spurs on my Santa snow boots.

I shortened my beard in this last shot, but it was for a good cause.

Happy Birthday Natalie.

We can't believe it's that time again! You are another year taller, another year smarter and another year wiser. You are the most important 8 year old on the planet to us! We wish you a very happy birthday and hope to see you again very soon.
