You Cannot See Them

You cannot see them

ladies walking home at night

wrapped in towels

dampening sarongs

You hear their laughter

and sleepy murmurs

spirits follow

listening closely

You cannot see them

ladies with attentive spirits

walking gliding

through the night

Freshly bathed

thoughts of comforts

home draws them onward

ladies walking above

You did not see them

Nor saw the spirits

that shadowed

wet ladies

walking home tonight.

Dog Bath Blues

So you had to bathe me

’cause I’m a dirty shame

perhaps I’m also smelly

and I’m the one to blame.

Why submit me

to water and shampoo

stinky stuff

I accepted you.

Guess I wasn’t good enough

Guess I wasn’t sweet enough

Guess you want to play it rough

How much dirt

will it take to make

you see

baths don’t work?

Get your camera ready

’cause I’ve a tail to wag at you.

Dogs win, dogs win!

Agave Orbs and a Cat

The dove perched in the middle of these two agaves caught my attention with its mournful coo coo this afternoon as I was walking home. Luckily, I had my cell phone camera to record the moment. This evening I decided to see if there would be any orbs around these agaves. Easier thought than done since it took several tries to find them in the dark new moon sky.

Blurrily my camera did find an orb among the agaves.

A few more orbs came to see what the flashing camera was looking at.

And then, my cat came to see what the fuss was all about and brought a host of orbs with him. You can tell he is a favorite in the neighborhood.

Orbs of Truth

Not again,

a stranger’s eyes

regard me in a mirror

that lies.

Once again,

I inhabit a body

not mine.

We are all one.

What tripe!

We don’t know that Truth

until the body is not ours

until now.

Not now!

My body, my life.

This body, another’s life.

I do remember

my life, my body.

But that was then,

this is now.

Guest Orbs of Flam Chen

Our guest orb photographer is Maureen Watson. She discovered orbs in her photos during a New Year’s Eve celebration when Flam Chen circus performers came to Bisbee, Arizona.

I could hear the crowds and see the tops of the balloons from my house on the hill that night, but I had no idea that orbs were also enjoying the entertainment until Maureen shared her photos with me. Flam Chen is based in Tucson, Arizona and has been performing circus and fire acts since 1994. They are now accepting applications to their summer art camp.

If you follow the little bright white lights from the sky into the crowd it does look like orbs are among the revelers.

Note to self: next time the circus comes to town get out of the house and go see the show…

Thank you, Maureen, for sharing some of that evening’s excitement with us.

Orb Puzzle

If I were a piece of your puzzle what hole would I fill?

Am I part of your landscape

the moss on the side of a tree

a petal among the flowers

the underside of a cloud?

If I were a piece of your puzzle where do you need me?

Am I your mirror

you glance at for reassurance

the thought you are reaching for

or the dream you’ve forgotten?

If I were a piece of your puzzle are you still searching

where to place me

or have you lost me under the table?

Have you slid me

easily into your picture

or do you suspect

I’m part of another world

you dare not enter?

Guest Orbs of Ecuador

Chuck Feil is our guest orb photographer, presenting the orbs he found at a dance in Vilcabamba, Ecuador.

Proof once again that orbs just like to have a good time. I wonder if they also add to the frivolity, the vibes, of the evening.

Isn’t this just what you think is happening at a party? Now we know what all the disco light shows are based upon: the subliminal knowledge of being surrounded by orbs.

Thank you, Chuck, for sharing your orbs galore with us!

Bisbee Fashion Supports Community Y

Upstairs at Cafe Roka in Bisbee, Arizona, models are preparing for the annual fashion show in support of the Community Y, a low-income residence hall.

The models are excited and recalling the years when they used to do this fashion show at the Copper Queen Mine Tour.

A peek downstairs reveals a couple of orbs on the stairwell walls.

Outside the luncheon guests are arriving.

We adjust our cameras for the big event.

The fashions are selected from Bisbee boutiques and designers.

Being a small town, most people at the event have known each other for years and are playfully appreciative.

Nichole Welch is modeling her Alter Girl Designs slipdress.

Yes! Another successful fundraiser in Bisbee and the day is still young.

Orbs On the Other Side of Town

Margo looks for orbs

One of my orb enthusiasts asked me to go on a quest for orbs tonight. Margo didn’t think she was having much luck on her own and wasn’t sure that any lived in her neighborhood. Here she is looking for that orb who is looking at her.

When I don’t seem to be having any luck finding orbs among the trees, I can usually find them in one of their favorite hangouts: the power lines.

Margo now realizes there are plenty of orbs in her neighborhood.

The Loma Linda is considered Bisbee’s one true mansion.

Ocotillas look like sticks until they leaf out in summer rains.

These century plant stalks have the regalness of pine trees.

Of course orbs would be attracted to the joys of the children’s playground.

Remember, orbs can be found among the power lines.
