ONENESS
Find in each drop
The ocean of oneness
Each is a particle of all
And every leaf a fragment
Of the universal tree
In every atom is a constellation
There is no all
Only one.

EQUILIBRIUM
The equilibrium of sun and moon at opposites of the sky
Moonrise  ~ sunset
Sunrise ~ moonset
Half of the heavens a starry night
Half of the celestial sphere
A cloudless vista of the sun.
A place for libra equa-librium.

EARTHWORKS ~ FOREST
A forest is more than one tree ~
A life is more than one day.
What grows slowly and in secret shadows is precious.
Tread gently on Earth
For she is life and love always.
In the still forest birds are calling out their names;
Remember me – I am Wardung.  I am Djiti-dtjiti
And Marri and Jarrah whisper yes in the stillness.
