Poem of the Month
Fay Canyon Mandala
A map of wild footprints:
the deer people
show me the way.
In the center:
upright totem
reaching toward father sky.
In the first ring:
four stones
grounding to mother earth.
In the second ring:
eight twigs
branching like living antlers.
In the third ring:
circle drawn in red dirt
encompassing the one within all.
Beyond suffering!
