we journey
towards each other
open hearted
May It Be Every Day
Where The Light Gets In
true togetherness
resides in those little spaces
we honor between us
The Day Starts With Conversation
crows
in the field
morning corn klatch
Room For All
each blooms in their our own time
community’s beauty
someone is always flowering
Bubbles Become Ripples
like the pooled rain
in the newly starting grass
we are both
passing through and a part of each other
Side By Side
a gathering
of out buildings
constitutes winter community
Primary Network
the landscape
an elaborate system
sharing data and social connections
Available Openings
the fence of lattice
inviting us to
see through, reach through
The Old Orchard
abiding change
resolute in bearing fruit
apples in community
One Among Many
oh to be a petal
in a community
that is a flower
Vigil
candles in the woods
the community of birch
stand by their fallen
In The Sunshine
beneath clouds and blue sky
together and yet singular in purpose
room for everything
Trunks Of Knowledge
where the birch are gathered
they talk amongst themselves
sharing the wisdom of their society
Welcomed In
the perfume
called me close
into the sweet community
Come Home Soon
watching for the neighbor’s light
their curl of chimney smoke
to feel so not alone
Just Two
all that is needed
that other one
to inhabit the world with
Secrets Of The Feathered Fellowship
on gray days
being in community
creates its own kind of sunlight
First Strangers Then Friends
deep in the woods
these three strangers
offered shelter
Yes
come feed on the garden
now that it is ending
slack your thirst at the birdbath
Safe Harbor
anchors down
spirits buoyed
by community
Unity
sharing a fundamental intimacy
the butterfly and marigold
depend upon each other
There Is
no I
in nature
everything evolves from we
We Hold Each Other Up
remains of summer blooms
provide the structure for
blossoms made of snow
Most Precious Gift
the cheer
of being
near each other
Together
every disparate part
from the moss to the snow
is needed for the whole
We Shared A Look
and now I know
the words
to your song
Off We Go
adding our tracks
to the worn path
alone together
Distant Neighbors
still we need
each other
This Is The Wall
that doesn’t separate us
but rather
it’s presence connects us
The Four Of Them
a family of birch
homesteads
