waiting

February seemed more than 29 days long this year. Some overcast days, lots of wind, snow and fog; all typical of winter in western South Dakota. And, as if to distract and tease us, green shoots poke up through the snow, the mulch of leaves, the dry grass, and valiantly, quietly displace the gloom of winter. Buds have been showing on trees since early February. It's as if the life that's waiting keeps whispering, "Soon, soon, " and we believe it! We hold on and soon we notice that warmer days are, indeed, more frequent each week. Tomorrow temps will be in the 70s and will remain higher than usual for most of March. We who have learned the fickleness of Mother Nature in March in the Dakotas, keep reminding each other that the snows that usually are measured in feet accompanied by blizzard winds, will likely be upon us before the first days of April. Meanwhile, we rest, we dream, we find blessings hidden in quiet places. 


the silence of one

  
there is so much opening
inside the harmonies of the spheres
inhabited by ancestors and unicorns and angels
where sun reflects through prisms of rain
scent of earth and life prevails

​only on this hidden path
will stories be heard
stories to be held in reverence
always revealing themselves,
without words,
to the listener who enters
 sacred chambers
