The Universe Speaks

By Gloria Shoon



As I celebrated my 66th turn around the sun

Purple was the colour of the day

From the huge purple chair at The Chilled Cork for lunch

To the photos on the wall that said Dream Big

The Universe Speaks

A turn too soon brought us to a #8

And Happy Birthday in rainbow colours on the front door appeared

But it was the wrong #8

At Katherine’s B&B the right #8

What do you know

The entire room was purple and yellow

The Universe Speaks

The side table in our B&B had a vase with hummingbird

At the little reading nook there was a book titled Girlfriends

On to dinner and what do you know

I had packed a purple top

Seated at our table

And to my eyes

What do I see

A huge painting of a Fire Rooster

The Universe Speaks


At TJ Stables with Indigenous Spirit Horses

The mare that chose me, her Ojibway name when translated means

Skunk, Humility with Confidence

The stallions’ Ojibway names mean

Magic & Milky Way

The Universe is always speaking

Are you listening???
