Ice Songs


Ice Songs

Children shuffled rocks along the surface, skimming over the raised circles, frozen ripples. The high pitched moans and chirps echoed through the woods, and light danced upon the shiny surface. Another frozen winter moment of beauty.

Sacrement of Waiting


Sacrement of Waiting

It takes a quiet patience, this Sacrement of Waiting time. Trees are waiting in wind and cold. Mothers wait, swelling and anticipating. Lovers wait for the strum of the heart song to catch in their breath, joy streaming. Friends wait, for the reach of others in common thought and feeling. Ice waits, preparing to thaw, or fall.

This stillness
buzzes
with
"Alive"
in hushed tones
spherical and round.

What are you waiting for?
