Dear One,
Fall-time already. It feels like spring and summer were here and gone in just a moment. It’s always stunning to me how the cycles of the earth just keep flowing.
This is from Melissa Michaels, Arlyn’s dancing mentor –
“Greetings friends. As our election season approaches, please take a moment to confirm that you are CURRENTLY REGISTERED TO VOTE. Although the system is not working as ideally as we know it can and must, our voting voices absolutely matter in the shaping of our future. For those of you in Colorado, the following link will allow you to check your voting status and sign up if you are not yet registered. NOW is the time to register. October 9th is our last chance to register for this coming election. GO FOR IT!”

Untitled Fall Poem
The pears are ripening, falling and rotting.
The blue bugs with the fuzzy white butts are back in season.
The cattails have been painted gold to match the blazing rabbit-brush.
The clouds came down and touched
the edges of my lips.
Bring me an apple, a pumpkin, a sunflower.
Bring me the magic of sleep where everything is possible
Bring me the wonderment
that you saved in your pocket
from when you were a child.
Give me a pen and a piece of paper
And I’ll write you a dream, I’ll whisper you a memory.
Peace
IS this
sometimes agitated
movement through the moment
Held by everything and nothing at all.
I offer my breath to this possibility.
Here,
listening deeper than ever before.
-Arlyn Deva
