Let the pollen dust you
Don’t let incorporation fly away
let the pollen dust you, every day
with spouses, children, singing
singing full of gratitude
of land, of holding this way
deep in your heart, returning
celebrating home and her guides
her 108 ways of making space
in the extraordinary endless gifts
of life, hosted by nature
nurtured grief, receiving
the work of real people
flowing with Earth, as we ask
with purity of heart, with life
showing sacred life in life
overflowing, spirit guiding
growing the honour of listening
to readiness inherited
known and unknown
as we reach out for Earth
to do most of the work
what kind of tribe has no place?
the wanderers with stars in their eyes
and full hearts
the grouse dancer
the spirit leader
the irreverent ukulele lady
the nest maker
the deeply rooted
the cosmic life force
the freedom climber
the star traveler
the courageous heart of the sun saluter
the journeying medicine man
the spirit steward, of this land
** Caught at the closing circle, Cascadia Quest 2014
Don’t forget the invisible
love in the fire
for sacred work
connecting roots
rooted, deep
together in joy
Don’t forget the invisible
energy that heals
a global family
trusting play
and the delight
in life
Don’t forget the invisible
unexpected resolve
to energize
to carry
to move
and be still
Don’t forget the gifts
of belief
in the big
break through
of collective intelligence
in circle

Poem caught in the closing circle of the Second Fire gathering of the Circle Way, at Marsh House, Whidbey Island, May 3, 2014.
I said yes to an invitation
to being
a pioneer, a tributary
sitting, in ambiguity and uncertainty
to build
to give
to never leave, here
the moment, the lineage
the flow of the river
circling, wanting us now
to serve
by yearning
purposefully, carrying,
prototyping, feeling,
feeding, fielding
the field

Poem caught in the opening circle of the Second Fire gathering of the Circle Way, at Marsh House, Whidbey Island, April 30, 2014.
The promise of light in February is to begin
spring sooner than later
for new beginnings
for noticing early signs of brightness
for moving
for inspiration
for seeking
to care
yet to care is also patience
for profound capacity
to become apparent
a profound capacity to care, aware
that I choose to accept
that I choose to receive
that I choose
to wait
care means conflict and impatience too
assuming all will be well because it will
with joy and pain and time
I patiently offer my care
knowing
patience is not a blind eye
if it is a choice to declare what I need
when I ask I can receive
when I ask I can receive
when open to surprise the patience to care comes
it touches, it beacons, it enjoys, it lights
the whole
sky

This poem was caught last week during a gathering of my local community of practice.
Some colleagues and I spent the afternoon exploring resilience in the face of disaster. We noticed that disaster takes place an many scales – the heart attack the demands a new normal in an individual, or a tsunami or fire that rips through a whole city or country. Whenever this happens, we somehow bounce back, stronger and more connected with each other.
Here’s a poem caught as we began our conversation today:
Disaster blows the blinders off
my place
my body
then a practice grows
touching stories
mine and others
of strength
of energy
of smiling
on a journey of
witnessing

A couple weeks ago, some colleagues and I gathering to begin a conversation about how we could work together around resilience and adaptability in our lives and communities. Here’s a poem that surfaced as a result of that conversation:
Yet another transition
another fucking transition
an end for a beginning
where kin matter
where the story you carry matters
because it shapes how you show
your self
so who are you shadow boxing?
yes, its scary to pay attention
to what’s happening now
to flick the switch on
alone or together
and to have the future we want
the light must be on
let’s take turns waking up
to sustain awakeness
______ ______ _____
Who can we be?
What is separate need not be,
For the Divine is personal.
There’s enough love, and enough room
For all of it. A falling away
Of illusions because there’s no going back.
With profound creativity, we palpably,
Steadfastly, safely, prepare for transition
To another life, another work, gestating.
Who can we be if I let go
Of what I think we should be?*
Who can I be if I let go
Of what I think I should be?
* A question of Chris Corrigan’s that has been alive in me for a while…

This poem is a harvest from this afternoon’s checkin with my Integral City colleagues.
Arigato*
The thread we hold
propels
with energy easing
connection, trust
opening the inside outsight
with a flame relit
transforming intention
with a fresh faith
regenerating illumination
the task ahead is demonstrating
learning, true love
expanding insight outside
nourishing the wisdom
of growing with
open minds, open hearts, open will
willingly showing

alive
with bits of you in me
my soul huge
huge magical humility
as the highest in me
meets the hightest in you
reverberating renewed superheroes
pledging presence, soft support
witnessing more
shoulders to stand on
to stand with, deep gladness
meeting the world’s deep needs
with love and fear
with trust
with ba

The duke of purple
Imagine my surprise when
the duke of purple
struggles at every age
with deep compelling stories
wait
what?
I’ve always wanted to be with you
universally

I’m ready to go
healing family flexing
showing up for me
now I know
what I need to know
nervous aching shifting
sitting in it
sitting in it
