SUN PLAY
15 May 2011

The sun’s warm smiles
caress the forest
in sunshine and shadow handprints
on leaf and branch and trunk
and she bathes
in the blessings
of the early morning gifts
and those of him
who went out
to wander through
the sanctuary
to pick up a tiny, sun-kissed, red flower
from the forest floor.

There is such deep awareness of the beauty that surrounds you, dear Owl.

Delightful.

Love,

Thank you, Margherita.  It would make me so happy if we all could see the beauty that surrounds us all, at all times, so obvious and desirous of being seen.  It pains me when a single one is missed.  I wish I could persuade those who can't or won't see to have the courage to take off their blinkers, for a moment and to consider leaving them off and no longer taking refuge behind them.
