the wind tosses bare branches beginning to bud;
the exultant power of seasons changing.

rather than power over.

This is why I call God “he”

I ask men to weep and love as He does.]]> 2021-02-24 13:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qeik6co6fq9eqqq2/wish/1236132857 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qeik6co6fq9eqqq2/wish/1236135089 Tug of War

From my perch of authority, 
 I joked
  that he shouldn't talk about 
   cleaning some theoretical cat's litterbox
    until he had first mastered cleaning
     his own private bathroom.
      He became defensive, 
       then aggressive.
        This is how power struggles go
         with our spoiled, traumatized,powerful, powerless,beautiful,
           unforsaken children.

What seems to be so far in the distance is right upon my fingertips 

If only courage could meet me the way fear has 

I could grab it, if only for a moment, swallow it whole and never let it go ]]> 2021-02-24 14:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qeik6co6fq9eqqq2/wish/1236422164 Windows of the soul https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qeik6co6fq9eqqq2/wish/1236469134 spit and brown paper

Rather, be Wild and Uncontained- flow loose and free.
And give it all away like that.]]> 2021-02-24 15:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qeik6co6fq9eqqq2/wish/1236763425 Access and Release https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qeik6co6fq9eqqq2/wish/1237175840 I feel so powerless, knowing power as only domination and being dominated,
How do I disconnect power from control over and under?
There is a well within, a sustaining source, overflowing with expansion, creativity, imagination, and hope.
Let us find a way to access and release this, our power, 
in a life giving way,
together.]]> 2021-02-24 16:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qeik6co6fq9eqqq2/wish/1237175840 Power https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qeik6co6fq9eqqq2/wish/1237216669 Showing up

Tides rising and falling; earth turning into darkness, into light.
Waters flowing beneath the surface, seedlings rising toward the sun, chickadee singing.

Why did I think it was more complicated by that?
