Thank You. Thank You. Thank You, dear Reader!

for joining me in praise of … and this Earth 

and all the life it holds, including Yours,

for without your presence as a guest on this

animist poetry blog, I would still sing to the beloved Earth, 

but it would not be as sweet as when you join me, in gratitude.


Howl with Joy, with Sorrow, and all 

that makes every creature on this planet grateful

for each day that breath and life are ours.


And so it is; I am grateful to you and yours.

and so it is; I am grateful to all my relations, 

human and otherwise.


Now is the time to send out a

Keen message of joy and gratitude for all of life’s gifts,

   those wrapped in silk and those wrapped in thorns.

   Lessons all. It shall be well in the end.


You are cherished. Thank you for your continued support.

Oh, may you cherish and give to others, too,

Until the end of our days on this beloved Earth.


A Joyful Winter/Summer Solstice 2023!
As the Earth Spins and Begins AGAIN!
