Look - she is there! For all is well that she be!

The park is real! And everything the park needs, is that little rooster hanging on, day to day, trying to show how strong he can be to provide and mate! Girl! How long it take to make your bed?!?! OUT GET THE FIRST GETTING When getting is best! MAKE HER UP!

Dear Self,
do what you do.
Watch, learn,
post a goal,
align my scope
Fire at will
A hen hatches
the eggs of
all that fall within her lens
counting crows
Her oval stones
Under the sun
mark patiently
lain plans read
One stinker
At a time
A real dusty
clucker far
Between each trance
No one loves
Her chicken
dance more than they who
testify the truth she calls out between
sky and hill
The tender power of promise inscribed in blood lines
Ticking across
paper skin lids
the best book
written long ago will take 3 weeks to digest if you
but quiet wait
just bring your chair at heaven's gate
til Peter counts each soul awoke inside her page

A chapter breaks

"Chicken Sister Lines" - for residents of Chicken Park, Grey Forest, TX, USA

06/13/2023

Precious and rare in San Antonio, I love to visit this handsome specimen of magnolia tree, at a home behind Forest Hills Presbyterian Church, in Helotes, TX, around this time each year. I don't know who lives here, but they are likely living right to have such a glorious tree!

A prayer, a vision, for all the earth:

Now I will see a mystery rising from this earth; for I cried, "Help! PLEASE! my sister needs help!" And when help seemed not coming, I hear, "Help! Help! PLEASE! This sister needs Help!" And this petition echoes from each abysmal soul, until as fireflies light the night in summer wood, the lamps of each soul flash with the living ember that is the gift from God, faith! And here in the dark the lights gravitate into one light more beautiful than my eyes can behold, I must look away, but filled with wholeness, I know that Christ has come again! For the gathering of the light will illuminate the body of the kingdom come, God's Will being done - That every knee bow and tongue confess that Jesus, Emanuel, God with us, is HERE! DONT LOOK FOR SIGNS, LOOK FOR needs! And pray PRAY LOUDER, "I need!" "We need!" "We NEED!" WE ARE The creatures of the Christ! In the cosmos we are awakened from rest with new breath and life! Amen!

At The Chicken Park, justice is best served to the perpetrators of heinous acts by roosters who investigate and prosecute the sneak attack, and the goose who judges them.
These are their stories.

Viewer discretion advised.

It's been over a month and I haven't watched Law and Order SVU - the show that is like my wine ( and we have given that up too). Thank You Lord for extreme chickening - where keeping a flock is elevated to a fine art.

Coop and Roost Justice:
S1, E1 Sinopsis -
In this episode of my tableaux vivant, the viewer sees the chickens settling in for the night, inside their coop ( designed by Cooping Artist - Helen Silantien) except for Henny (played by Little Red) - who appreciates a good snack before bedtime. Suddenly, Henny is sneak-attacked for mating by Frosty (played by Heinrich Roo) - the smoothe-talking white fluffy-boy silkie rooster, from the otherside of the coop. The Alpha roo, Barny (played by Barnabus Roo) is not having any sneak-attacks on his watch. He flies into counter-attack mode to drive the perpetrator off. However, Barny is senior in age and he is good and ready to get back to his roost next to Miss Kitty (played by Swiss Miss) so he can get some shut-eye before his next shift of crowing. Meanwhile Henny, realizing that her snacking best-be finished, tries to estimate how to reach her penthouse perch in the center of the coop.
Judge Blar Goose, (played by Blar the gander) - is likely to have a breakdown if the flock is unable to maintain order sooner than later. Clerk Stacey, (played by Curly the Tophat) is taking notes.

How to make tender, juicy, crispy fried chicken gizzards

08/09/2021

I heard the raucous out in the coop but couldn't find the Waldo. "Won't somebody help me find him?" ... Sister, the Rhode Island Red, quietly pointed me to Waldo's tail-end; Waldo had discovered the duck nest hidden behind one of my contrapulations of creativity, and was mid gulping down the duck eggs. So I put on gloves, opened the coop door grabbed that tail and hurled him out the door, duck egg spewing through the air. It was beautiful impromptu choreography... Now Waldo lives in a hutch and I feed him my sub-grade eggs.. It's complicated...but so far so good.

We have plans
But tomorrow is
Another day
All we know we have is Now.
Can we KNOW
we KNOW we know?

Dedicated to siblings, friends, and the flock of God. What a world of bees and birds!
And beggars - we are - of heaven's heart!
Charity's age to age, all hunger for the same!
