Gods Creatures Sent To Teach

catfish, seagull, deer, squirrel, grasshopper, Luna moth
each leaving their mark on the world, in their best way
dragonfly, cardinal, monarch, spiritual orbs, sharing truths
hypersensitive individuals pay attention to their lessons.

Learning the intricacies and beauties of the forest too.
the secrets of the apple trees, and the acorn mothers.
Listening to the wind, paying attention to rustle of grasses.
Tree of knowledge is not in a church, school or library.

Tree of knowledge is without and within.
Soul searching, meditation, praying, stilling yourself.
Learning what you can from each encounter with nature.
And God’s creatures and critters, who were sent to teach us.
