There are many parts to the human. Let’s take for instance head, hand and heart. All tire at different rates. The longer our view, the more that is possible to us. The more we see, the more we see. Our hand is dying, our head sleeping, yet our soul might be flying. This opens possibilities to us: things we can do, places we can go, wisdom we can impart, love we can give, essences we can be, new things we can meet, even in our last days.

We are in this family and in this setting together. Only together do we move on. Even if some of us pull away and stop participating, the whole of us must adjust and find a way forward. We might be hobbling along on three limbs. It is better whole, but we need always to recognize the freedom of each. It is, after all, dance. Dance is infinite.

Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1238

The redbuds and the pears
The cherries and the apples
Start the spring with shouts
In the shape of flowers
Riotous flowers
The maples put forth
Seeds on the wing
The pin oaks get right
Down to business
New leaves pushing off old
Tulip trees bloom later
And Mulberries give
Sweet fruits to the birds
There are so many ways to live!
To write first chapters and last!
And no chapter is ever last
And everything cycles
And everything is moving
And everything is moving

Please pass it on.

Sow an acorn
grow an oak
Sow a dream
grow a budding
Sow a self
grow a flowering
