I’m walking between worlds
Both in a nightmare
And waking from one
Navigating the rocky path
One footfall at a time
Calling on my ancestors
Those women who each
Did the same in their own way
As I step out of darkness
Into the healing light of freedom

I regret to inform you
That the reality you subscribe to
Is currently offline
As reality has no power switch
There is no way to reset the system
Please accept my apologies
For the extreme inconvenience
Such is the risk of sentient life
I never promised you life would be easy

The art of language is a powerful mechanism allowing us to reach inside another's soul through the common threads of experience and the power of imagination to leave a momentary imprint on the soft fabric heart of other's lives.

I arrived in this world
A shooting star
Trailing dreams
And magic in my wake

Autumn prepares to make its bow
As December takes the stage
With evergreen and holly crown
And bonfires ablaze
The cloak of winter deep and white
With whispered grace arrives
While all good folks abide long nights
As snow falls on the pines
Let not the darkness weight your brow
Do light your lamps ablaze
For soon the Solstice will arrive
To return the longer days

Gold, yellow, red
A carpet of leaves
It crunched beneath their feet
As they played in the light of the golden afternoon
Cheeks rosey and hair wild
Autumn had come

It's a California Christmas
Where it's 70 degrees
And the palm trees are a swayin'
In the California breeze
The desert winds are blowin'
And the state is burning down
But we take some comfort knowin'
Santa's still comin' to town
The mountain tops are barren
Of familiar Sierra snow
'Cause climate change is ragin'
Changin' the world we know
So on this Cali Christmas
Hold your loved ones tight
Remember what's important
As you live your Cali life
The fog is ever faithful
The sequoias still stand tall
On this California Christmas
Prayin' "Bless us one and all."
