My soul is wild, filled with . . .

One thing about being a teacher is the opportunity to really confront the various harsh realities faced by kids. I often return home, thankful and sad that some of us could be so blessed while there are . . .

Things past, things present,
Influx of current and history:
Like a river, it will only move forward,
Curling the stones of thought beneath
And chevrons of the future in the making.
Things past, . . .

Dreams are messages from my soul. I am one who sees dreaming as a spiritual practice, much like writing and meditating.
So, last night's dreams contained the themes of digging deep, going back and . . .

The trees turn color,
shades of vermillion and orange -
and the Earth shifts,
transits.
Late harvest, remembering
what you have done,
gather the fruits of your labor
and prepare for winter's . . .

Dawn seems furthest
with the night
an open maw.
I wait for light
like a plant for water,
desert thirst.
I will keep this vigil

A star, a sun, a son,
wishing, dreaming, hoping -
waiting for the coming of spring,
light over dark,
a rebirth of a sun,
a remembrance of balance,
a reminder of joy,
Natalis . . .

Wolf.
Woman.

Wolf-woman.

Who am I?
Am I a wolf
Pretending to be a woman

Be real with an open heart -
and like flowers, look at the sun,
have a lot of fun,
Because life is an experience,
a journey with many paths
roads that meet and that part.
Cherish them, love them: . . .
