Signal from Above

On December 30, 2010

I touch the Earth

through trees waving

in westerly winds,

clouds full of ocean

blanketing the valley,

an island of the palest blue

in the dark gray cover

a signal from above

to look beyond the overcast,

feet on the ground

shot through with heaven.

My passion for living passionately is so aroused by this poem that the clouds full of ocean are dripping joyous drops from my eyes, tears of love, tears of gratitude. The Great Sky of the oneness of heaven and earth. One of the hallmarks of the New Year will be continued poetic dialogue with you and with all others who share this community with you.

“…a signal from above to look beyond the overcast, feet on the ground shot through with heaven” is excellent guidance for humanity during these dark days of this strangely political and fear-based tsunami. I love the image as it resonates within me reminding me to stay rock solid and steady while bringing heaven on earth. This is not a job for the ambivalent.
