Birthday Prayer #62

For this birthday I ask to simply live long enough to escape the road and it's "highly motivated, highest level performing individuals".

   

To escape from the overly masculine world of rigid straight lines, ringing telephones, ones and zeros, tight schedules, tighter egos, and self-importance.

  To fall, exhausted, into the arms of the natural feminine world of squiggly, squirmy, squishy, reality with all it's curvy, fleshy, folds and furry, dirty, flowering beauty...

  

   Into a world that moves to no set schedule; simply unfolding to Mother Nature's non-existant timetable.

That's my birthday wish today.

The Heart Collector

She found hearts everywhere and in everything; it was as if they sought her.

She saw them in clouds and photographed them. She collected thousands of heart shaped rocks and arranged them in spirals and circles of love. 

Heart shaped leaves and flower petals fell at her feet and she placed them gently in mandalas that the wind carried away.

And she found my heart; scarred and weary. She held it and awakened a softness and tender courage that had been sleeping too long.

I gave my heart joyfully, but I guess it didn't belong in her collection. 

Out of kindness she let me down slowly, forgetting that time isn't real...
