When the Muse gets in me
She takes right over…
Magic starts flowing;
Logic runs for cover…

In your mind
Create a sky
Where you can fly
With eagles high.
Create a cave
Where you can swim
With big blue whales
And grey dolphins.
Use your mind
And your heart
To DREAM a world
That’s set apart-
A place for you
To heal and play
Grow new wishes
For brighter days.
Back on Earth
Your dreams will find
Their way to influence
Your waking mind.
Your energy will rise
To match your vision
Impacting your life
And daily decisions.
Soon you’ll move
Closer in TIME
To your soul’s place
And Divine DESIGN.
“Cosmic Egg” (imagery from a dream, acrylic painting by the author)
I spent two months on the Big Island of Hawaii in November and December 2012 and spent the week of 12/21/12 (including the solstice) swimming off the Kona coast with a pod of wild dolphins. It was the most magical, intense, wonderful, and joyful experience of my life. Since that week I dream about dolphins regularly, including last night. I think I am meant to work with them in a healing capacity–taking people to do dolphin-art-yoga retreats, perhaps. Since, professionally, I am a therapist/healer/artist/yoga instructor and spending time with dolphins naturally opens one’s heart (and thus is healing), I think this is a beautiful idea. Until I manifest that possibility, however, I am left with a fountain of appreciation flowing from my heart to the dolphins (dolphriends!) that inspires me to write little whimsical poems and create playful art.
Little dophin
In the sea-
Thinking of you
Uplifts me
How you dash
Flip and twirl
Makes me smile
My heart swirl
So much joy
So much love
With you in my life
I am above
The sorrow and fear
The woes of the day
In the o c e a n depths
We splash and play
Thank you for
The gifts you bring
Simply by swimming
And doing your thing

I love you stars.
You are a part of my day.
Inside my body
You twinkle and play.
Outside at night
You shine so bright.
I smile at the sky
And watch you pass by.
Slowly you move
Or I guess I do, too.
I ponder the Mystery
When I look at you.
Thank you for gracing
My life with your shine.
You inspire my joy
When love’s hard to find.
There’s always a star
Up high and in me.
As long as I chase it
I always feel free.

Sometimes a Dream happens,
And you don’t know what to do…
If you don’t follow it,
It will chase after you.
