“They open their wings, flash patterns and color, fly from flower toflower. I, with the dark brittles and many feet of the former form, inchalong the ground.
Sometimes all I want is two armfuls of air, a fistful of sky.”
Nina Kiriki Hoffman, A Fistful of Sky

“They open their wings,
flash patterns and colors,
fly from flower to flower.
I, with the dark bristles and many feet
of the former form,
inch along the ground.

Sometimes all I want
is two armfuls of air,
a fistful of sky.”
Nina Kiriki Hoffman, A Fistful of Sky

“For all that is good,
For all that is ours,
Thanks to the spirits,
Thanks to the Powers!

(blessing over a meal)”
Nina Kiriki Hoffman
