A poetic welcome to my soil

Sun and clouds up in my sky.

Choose your own adventure—swim, fly, why not?

And out you go to embrace it so.

Life is a wonder, or better yet, the possiblity of one.

If even the smallest chance can lead to delight,

then that alone is enough

to state how wonderful is life.

This is my truth, seen from the light rather than the shadows.

I am a vibrant, domesticated creature in this vast and feral world.

And just like me,

and just for fun,

I hope with an open heart

you’'ll join this tender escapade.

I will guard your space, honor your self,

and learn from our little interplay,

the always moving choreography of being-with.

That is my promise today.

Here, your being is safe. And welcomed.

I shall wrap you like a white-flower-scented envelope—

and hold for you, a moment or two

of pure reverence.

Always respectful, for you, dear friend, are significant,

Your time is precious.

You are of value.

You matter immensely.

I am ready, Moon. I am willing, Sun.

Balanced today, loved ones.

I am doing THIS.

Finding sense in all my scattered bits.

Let the adventure begin.
