Two Bluebirds and a Slug

Two bluebirds flying and separating

One in a dogwood tree

Beautiful blue and orangish brown

Dainty ornament, perched 


Slug on a mailbox brick

Two antennae alert, present

Naked, no shell, no need

Fully open to the elements


Fragile creatures all

We play our parts

Using our skills and wits

To survive, thrive


One species fast and supple

One slow and determined

Bluebird illustrates flying with grace

Slug teaches flowing with ground


Bluebird sprints to safety

Gifts us with joyous energy

Softening the angelic message

Our spirit selves, part of nature


Slug highly sensitive to vibrations

The power of timing

Proceed or withdraw

Stop to rest or protect


All of us part of nature

Whether human, reptile,

Plant, animal, fish or rock

All nature


All learning

Some knowing

Some wise

Some seeming violent


How do we live together

More peacefully?
