The light of love
To weather storms
Cleanse my mind
Hold my soul
It lives within
My gentle heart
I open up
To let me grow
Just like the tree
Full of knots
Battle haggard
Wounds and scars
I too will keep
Growing, stretching
Up to the light
Of mother sun
Inside I’ll keep
My fire burning
Feeding, learning
Hoping, healing
Rekindling
Rejuvenating
Now rise, renew
My nascent soul
The birds know
When to go
Who are we
To deny them
The trees grow
Know when to change
Are we as wise
To do the same
The vines climb
As the light shines
Is there something
In their wisdom
The earth turns
Heals, renews
Is some of this
Inside of you

Friends ~ I’m excited to announce a collaboration with the Loon Lake Times, the local newspaper of my new hometown, here in Eastern Washington! My letter to the editor just appeared in the May/June 2016 edition, to launch my upcoming column, Celebrate! Life & Times at Loon Lake.
I am SO enraptured with this beautiful piece of paradise that we’ve stumbled upon, that I just have to share a longer version of my letter here with you! I hope you’ll enjoy the story of my first otter sighting on the lake this spring; as well as my reflections on embracing this new sense of a wild childhood, that I hardly knew I needed. I truly hope you’ll delight in the stories of my adventures here around Loon Lake…and perhaps they’ll even inspire you to head out, roll around in, and marvel at the great, wild, beautiful gifts of Mother Nature in your neck of the woods! I’m wishing you great love, light, joy, and peace always!
CELEBRATING LIFE AT LOON LAKE!
A Newcomer’s Perspective
By ElizaBeth Coira – ©2016
Dear Neighbors,
The Common Loon
I write to you today; not with a concern, frustration, protest, or fight. No…
Instead I write to you today with joy…admiration…and wonder.
Indeed, I write to you today in celebration… of the unfathomable, natural beauty that is Loon Lake… this incredible piece of the planet that we are lucky enough to call our home.
I write to you today in sheer awe… of the open, kind hearts; warm, welcoming neighbors; and committed, caring community that make life at Loon Lake a truly unique, special sort of treasured existence.
I write to you today to say thank you… Continue reading
In sing song
Soaks the water
Round blow round
Goes the wind
Glow shine sound
Sparkle sunshine
Chirp flitter flutter
Flowing in
Whish swish swish
Stand up tall trees
Gurgle burble wurble
Wiggle fish
Rock rolling stretch
Stare the mountains
Everything’s coming
Make a wish
My fair lady
My sweet heart
Why do you look so forlorn
Who whispered the lie
Made you cry
To think you were anything
Short of Divine
For you were born
You were raised
To live your life in the light
Poke a hole
Weave your way
Around and out
Of the tangled webs
Deceit and fear
Hatred, doubt
Leave these old patterns behind
Try on something new
A new vision for you
Let’s start with
You
Are
Enough
Could Love really exist…In each and every one of us? Could Your choice to embrace Love…Touch our world for the better? Could it really be as simple…As Loving You today? Available …

I yawn
Wide open
Hole in my soul
I wander in
To the woods
What do I seek
Perhaps certain death
For old phantoms
Old customs
Society’s
confines
Good morning sunning turtles
Good day swimming fish
Twinkle sparkle lily pads
Go on make a wish
This is your lucky penny
This planet
–Paradise
Now what more could you ask
For life
Unleash your heart
–Free
Be content
