Worms

I was cleaning up my back porch.  I had placed an old thick mat/carpet before my comfy outdoor chair.

I picked up the mat, and under it on the asphalt, were dozens of worms.  Their presence surprised and amazed me.  I figured they were eating the thick damp mat.  



I returned a few hours later, after a mild rain, to find that all the worms had gathered together in a ball.  We gently scooped them up and placed the worms in our vegetable garden.  




The worms crawl out,
The worms crawl in;
Working, ready to begin.
Gathering Together 
A Ball of Worms
Struggling to Survive
Not wanting to die
Wanting to Live, to flourish,
to survive.

Trying to Remember That

     I made this post back in 2015.  I think the old photo of my home Neo-Pagan altar display reflects my readings and studies from around 2005.  I do seasonal, holiday, and personal interest displays in my current home office room [my study, library, computer den, hang out space, man cave, sunny room, yoga space.]  In 2019, I am now reading Meister Eckart from 1305 CE., and his metaphysical poetry.  Oneness, Beauty and Beings ... the wonder of it all.      


"Straight up from this road
Away from the fitted particles of frost
Coating the hull of each chick pea,
And the stiff archer bug making its way
In the morning dark, toe hair by toe hair,
Up the stem of the trillium,
Straight up through the sky above this road right now,
The galaxies of the Cygnus A cluster
Are colliding with each other in a massive swarm
Of interpenetrating and exploding catastrophes.
I try to remember that."
