Red Bird

Red bird came all winter

Firing up the landscape

As nothing else could.

Of course I love the sparrows,

Those dun-colored darlings,

So hungry and so many.

I am a God-fearing feeder of birds,

I know he has many children,

Not all of them bold in spirit.

Still, for whatever reason-

Perhaps because the winter is so long

And the sky so black-blue,

Or perhaps because the heart narrows

As often as it opens-

I am grateful

That red bird comes all winter

Firing up the landscape

As nothing else can do.

In The Moment — Image by kenne

Enlightened leadership is spiritual

if we understand spirituality

not as some kind of religious dogma

or ideology but as the domain of awareness

where we experience values

like truth, goodness, beauty,

love and compassion, and also intuition,

creativity, insight and focused attention.

— Deepak Chopra

Saguaros In Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne

A Mien to move a Queen—
Half Child—Half Heroine—
An Orleans in the Eye
That puts its manner by
For humbler Company
When none are near
Even a Tear—
Its frequent Visitor—

— Emily Dickinson
