A Moment in Spring
The grasses spring up defiantly
in unbelievably vibrant hues of green
moisture clings gently to each blade
dew mixed with rain glistens in the sun
Look . . . . . there is a path
a narrow muddy path trodden in the grass
it is an ancient sight . . . a timeless sight
who made this walked on path in the deep grass?
was it a cow, or deer, or craftsman going to work?
Is it a path made by children heading for the pond?
or was it made by shaman nearing the sacred cave?
what is this path among the grasses? where does it go?
It is a timeless sight seen by our ancestors through time
and it is all these thing and much, much more
it is proof that creatures have passed this way in spring.
It is the small moments that create a meaningful life.
It is the simple sights that open open our spirits to true Magic.
To know the wisdom of the ancients, look to the experiences that are timeless.
The rising Moon, the feel of the rain, the glow of firelight, the buds on a plant in spring.
True Magic lies in understanding of these simple miracle of the ordinary.
Nature is the most Ancient Shaman of all.....the Great Teacher and Sacred Seer.
To really see the Magic...look to the ways of Nature and the rhythms that do not change.
Look deeply into the simple things and the complexity of the Universe will reveal itself to you.
It is in shared experiences of All People and All Generations that True Magic resides,
Waiting to be discovered and understood.
Enter the Spiral Grove and remember how to make your dreams come true.
