Seeing eye-to-eye

Seeing eye-to-eye I looked and blinked. And looked. And blinked. Something was not quite right with him. Something about his face. That was a year ago, and our first meeting. It was not until the third meeting that I could see what was obvious–he had one green eye and one grey eye! And here it was happening again. I looked up at the doctor and noticed something “off”. Then she asked me what I was there for. On the weekend I headed out for my walk but found myself being drawn deeper and deeper into the woods, and into the stillness. Onto a log, I layed on my back and released into it. Then sat up and sank further. Then …

True Infinite Love

True Infinite Love A gift arose with the early morning sun on my stroll today.
