Claim the Ebb, Welcome the Flow

Think of the magic of summer:
Its activity
And out-breath
are like the ebb and flow
of a river...

Some moments are for bees
busy with crucial work,
bringing the world to life
showing the way
to that sun-nectar,
they dance in circles,
infinity rhythms,
They FLOW
Passionately,
single-mindedly,
making and doing
what only they can.

And then there’s the flower,
Just being,
Provocative blooming,
delicious surrender,
with ease lilting
in the sensual warm wind~
They EBB
after their long labor
Of becoming.

Trust yourself.
If you’re a flower
today
be unapologetic.
Just Be.
It’s enough.

If you’re a bee
today
keep moving,
keep dancing.
Know the value
of your circular maps
your winding way
doing and making
what only you can.
