soft green wisps dangle on the lengths of willow branch sweep the late march air nearby, the red barn breathes pine planks in cimmaron watches the growing spring
bahian music plays softly as the cold gray darkens near four p.m. in central upstate n.y. practicing on an old upright piano facing a stream, shared with five cats racoons deer, chickadees and sparrows apple orchard across the street catches the departing light then the land grows blanketed with a quick heavy snow soon in the darkest night sky... a million stars lighting our way to freedom
why when we gaze at squirrels sliding into the bird bath do we find humor- as if the behavior was out of context- when we have become enslaved by- commercial seduction: place clothes on bodies, apply makeup like warpaint, and hide behind pixeled texts; let us for one day wear nothing at all--let us not insulate each other from each other any more this is the time to simply sway, and wave as a willow- or as a freely opened door--walk on all fours, letting our most vulnerable selves grow parallel to the natural pulse of mother earth words/photo~kate lamberg (c) '15
thunder and lightening act to wake up-- restore a passive universe living for self only... opening eyes to the needs of other groping souls... who want exactly what any one wants-- to be heard and cherished-- exactly how they are-- nothing fancy-- just peaceful paradigms unfolding, like ancient texts, understood... a universal language- a love for all people revealing restoration-- at every step on bluestone path-- in the aftermath of storm's unconscious bullying... trees dance as grandparent messages... so soft and kind-- reminding us of no differences internally; we fight because we think we might win another round of, "I know better"-- there's a sweeter way of learning about one another, than bullying-- just because your voice is louder, heartless in heart you once knew-- but you grew a thick protective veneer over all four compartments-- to keep you safe from arrows hurled... also keeping you from feeling....
