Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
wolf dog –
when clouds speak of rain
her eyes flicker
as sunlight shifts sideways
along summer waves

Wishing you all a happy Thursday and a peaceful rest of the week,

where sacred music flows

northeast wind –
marram grass waves
as the day unwinds
we run along a tidal burn
and splash through shallow water

fluttering wings
our forest walk disappears
in itself
scattered stones marble the path
below the snow-capped mountains

A gentle rain is scenting the dry places along the trail as we climb through the forest. The vibrant green of Spring grass opens the heart. Music from a tinkling brook echoes the gratitude we are feeling. Here, we follow our instinct. We leave all that is learned behind and surrender to the knowing.
a butterfly
with tenderness
she dances
from flower to flower
pure white and breathing

dappled light
glitters in a spider’s thread
between trees
shaded places team with life
where spring greens are unfurling
