I’ve realized when I cough while working on someone, I need to go back to the crown chakra and open it more. Debbie Moot, The Health House

Decades ago I made puppets. Marionettes.
Taught sixth graders to do it, too.
Lots of lessons learned, more than merely
untangling strings. Strings attached at knees,
wrists, derrière, shoulders, both sides of the head.
An inanimate object, a thing made of wood,
cloth, stuffing, a felt-covered styrofoam ball
on a ring-screwed dowel. An inanimate object
for me to bring to life. A thing being a person,
making real people believe…but just a bouncing thing
if the head doesn’t make it live. It’s the head
that makes life. Puppets or people, it’s the head.
The face, the emotions, the life, the love,
the interaction. When we let the light shine
through the power from above, it shows.
I’ve always said, “God is not a puppeteer!”
But the exception is when we open the connection,
when we turn it over to Him and say, “Not my will.
Let your’s be done.”
