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???
