Outward bound

Greyhound, Black and White

Traveling out on Greyhound today?

No need to worry fuss or wait.

Service with a smile, you’ll get

With Miss Vickie at the gate. 

After a midnight departure out of Grande Prairie, Alberta…..weary travelers are pampered at Calgary Alberta by the kindness of the security and customer relations department.   I was blessed to be one of those.  A 17 hour bus ride is a serenity tester for most anyone, let alone a senior laden with gifts from the north. Customer service, heart driven, is so appreciated and quite rare.

Gathering in for the storm….

Homemade bread

Severe Weather Bulletin issued by Environment Canada at 3:37 PM MST Thursday 10 January 2013. ——————————————————————— Watches/warnings in effect for southern Alberta… Snowfall warning for: Medicine Hat – Bow Island – Suffield Cypress Hills Provincial Park – Foremost Lethbridge – Taber – Milk River Cardston – Fort Macleod – Magrath crowsnest pass – Pincher creek – Waterton lakes Nat. Park. Heavy snowfall and localized blowing snow tonight.——————————————————————— ==Discussion== an intense low pressure system moving through Montana has spread heavy snowfall into southern Alberta today. Gusty north winds continue to reduce visibility in blowing snow in some areas. The gusty winds will diminish this evening. 5 to 13 centimetres of snow has fallen this afternoon through most of southern Alberta. An additional 10 centimetres can be expected in the eastern portions overnight, with only 5 to 10 centimetres expected west of lethbridge to the foothills. The heaviest snowfall is expected to be near the Cypress hills and closer to the Saskatchewan border. The snow is expected to taper off Friday morning.
 

The blizzard comes on “sneaky feet”,

with wind snow, ice,  and sleet.

One more last run to gather in,

all the ingredients for the bin.

Shoveling the walk does not last,

we have to wait till the storm is past.

 The freezer now full with filling meals, …

safe and warm is how it feels.

Now to cozy up the house with wondrous smells, 

I am making bread so “all will be well”.

Voyeurs

An expose of an overdue requisition

In a delicate but effective deposition.

Whereby the ordinance is realized

that in this moment she is undisguised.

Breaking mental walls, fading quails

Binding limb to limb, evening the scales.

As a hungry Wolf would shadow his prey,

they sit and mind her to their own dismay.

 

Des McCaffery Artist Hunters

Hunters ~ Desmond Mc Caffrey

Somehow yet she still enchants them,

she bids them to watch as she advances.

As she surmounts an ancient mountain,

fates ablaze falling down around them.

Buried to the crown the voyeurs lye, 

and from the ashes the Phoenix flies.

Unmasked and incisive are her wings,

In golden ecstasy the Phoenix sings.

Like an hour-glass her breath is lapsing

a figure eight is her flight ever lasting.

The thickness of the snow shows me the lightness of Soul.

  I recall many miles trekking

through the snow and ice to feed the livestock.

Bundled up against the -40 degree weather (in Northern Alberta, Canada)

I was so heavily clothed I could barely walk.

  I loved the animals. I fed them.  Sang to them and gave them love.

Marching back to the cabin

(with the fresh chop in the five gallon pails

to heat in the  dugout water on the wood cook stove)

I welcomed the fire within.

 Now, that I am all citified,

I watch the pretty snowflakes

as they fall around the cars, the yard and the trees.  

Welcomed by the fire within.

(I  smile as it has been snowing for two days

and shows no signs of stopping.)

 This is the time of the deep inner work of spirit.

 This is the winter time.

A time  for the cleansing

and listening to roaring of the holy fire within.

 I turn to the inner as I pull the blanket

over my lap and sing in my “ rockin-rocking chair“. 

Welcomed by the fire within.

Frozen In Time

My love for you

Is frozen in time.

It is beautiful.

It haunts me.

It thrills me.

I want to plunge 

deep into it.

I want it to

Freeze over. 

Then, I can walk

Across the ice…

To the safety of your arms.

Oh, how beautiful they were!

How beautiful they are

When I dream myself into you.

How beautiful they will be again.

In this moment I bask

In the cold and relish its healing

crispness.

I am more alive in this frozen

love

Then I will ever be in a heated

 heartless passion.

I am crystalized and appeased

As I become one with

You once again.

What a friend we have in WahZ,         

(SUGMAD and the ECK)*

((the name of my higher power))

Just to take Him at His word.

Oh, how blessed, to walk beside Him.

Oh, to be,  of one accord!

Often I forget to trust Him.

Then, the pain, it does increase.

When I remember to surrender;

Oh, Soul it is released!

Written on Feb 24th,  2012 5:00 p.m. on a bus from Lethbridge to Calgary, Alberta.  Shared it for the first time at lunch today and my friend asked me to post it.  Enjoy.
((Author’s note about Calgary….I came to Calgary the first time one Easter in the 1950′s….to visit my Father.  I saw the Mountains for the first time and knew I was home.   Calgary called to me then. It calls to me now.

The laundry is done.

The children fed.

The lawn needs cutting.

There are books to be read.

I have company coming.

I need to sleep.

I have promises

Soul wants to keep.

I am lost in your love

Dreaming of you nightly.

The fever wraps me in its grip

tightly.

I would rather live

within my dreams

Than face the reality

of your schemes

I take my refuge

in the joy

I have the Sunlight of the Spirit.

I am surrendered and surrendering again anew.

I am Spirit’s new toy.
