On the Occasion of Dale Glaser’s Passing

Let grief soar our wings
Held down too long in sorrow

Let this sadness we feel
Help us to heal

And come, reborn, to life again
Seeing the miracle of Spirit

Shining in each other’s eyes
Beholding the magic of the moment

As the gift and revelation it is,
Our tears anointing each other with Grace

Our community coming together
With a single song,

Celebrating Dale’s life
In this Sacred place –

May we honor his passing
With much laughter and loving,

Feel his smile
Envelop us all –

May the Goddess carry you Home, Dale,
In the precious heart of Her heart,

And may you know only laughter
And the sound of the wind blowing free…

"Night Landing" or so it appears. Actually, it is our yurt, which people have always commented that it looks like a flying saucer. What do you think?

Full Moon Ecstacy. I love this moonlit view from my front yard. Using a tripod made it possible for me to take this shot, and I was able to lighten it up with Photoshop.

Our sunflowers are approaching nine feet tall and are finally starting to bloom. The romano beans that were interplanted with them are climbing up the stalks.
