Friday night end of the month of Shivan (May 15-June 16)
Late sunset, looking West
Taking notes in a clearing near the Rivanna Trail
For good health at this time
Use upright Yoga postures
See the letter symbol Vahv (V)
O ye people of the book
Turn a new page
Let your prophet re-appear
See the letter symbol Tet (t)
I am an ocean of love and light
It’s dark on the way out of the forest
Lightning bugs keep showing me the path
Even where to pause for a dangerous dip
I remember catching lightning bugs as a boy
Punching holes in the top of the jar for air
And letting them go. Also, getting my younger brothers and cousins
To let them go free. They haven’t forgotten
On the way, on the dark path home I realize
I am this forest, these trees, this sky. It’s magnificent
And frightening too – so much mystery and depth
I stop and gently shake a lifted tree branch as a wave offering
From us – the entire forest
Now all the trees and bushes are my pals
We touch each other affectionately as I leave the woods
