Water

Water
the haematology of life
every immersion
is like a transfusion
a renewal
an update
to our itineraries

Statute

Statute
a decree made by God
the archaic use of this word
were we given a statute of limitations?
a time frame within which we could return
return to living as love?
the golden rule
do no harm
is the statute that has stood the test of time
most other states are man-made
and are designed to confine
even outlaw what we do
or how we be
there is a message from the Hopi
people of peace
shared by friend
and a time to revisit this ancient prophecy
with an elder’s explanation of
what was written in stone
please listen and ponder
13 minutes 11 seconds longer
for we are not alone
in this journey
such wisdom shared
where we are at and our potential
especially our relationship to water
and how science may now gift
our abilities to solve
the mystery of our very existence

A Metaphor for Life

A Metaphor for Life
we have our patterns
we have our habits
we like to challenge ourselves
but there is movement
imagine swimming a set number
of lengths in a pool
and going for a time record
but unknown to you…
there is slow movement
the length of the pool can be changed
by sliding a divider to even
make 2 pools out of one
not looking up it takes a while
to recognize the game is up
you can’t win it
there is the gift
when movement creates change
we can change to acceptance
drop our personal goals
and simply enjoy
the fun of swimming
