DC: Birthday Cake

she made a magical cake hoping to inspire the company of

the birthday fairy

had heard the breeze tell the trees

of a fairy that dances for cake

she believed with all her heart

like a wish

from end to start

upon opening her sweet eyes

a fairy landed upon her hand

and danced and danced

a spell of charm

~

i wish i had photos

of the beautiful cakes my mother use to make

they were a thing of whimsy and celebration

they inspired awe and amazement

DC #125: numen

numen:

the spirit or divine power presiding over a thing or place

some call it a guardian spirit

*

I have always enjoyed the spirit of rocks

(Montana has such beautiful rocks, like the pastel ones above)

also known as:

divine presence
referring to the idea of magical power residing in an object or place

 portraying

or hinting at spirit in art

is one of my favorite things to do:

 

consider the spirit of a birthday cake:

when we pause to feel, sense, mingle with the numen in life
whether in a forest, beach, home, flower or stone
it is my sense that we quiet, 

deepen our stance, listen, feel
become present,
our life force expands
the spirit of life is more tangible,
intimacy is born
