Death

Death is
just as real,
just as final,
whether the result
of terrorism,
greed, or neglect.

In the Moment

curtain-939464_1280

How can I be
in the moment
if I come to it with
a slavishly scripted
version of it,
produced
and rehearsed
over and over
in my mind?

Chaos

The Spirit hovers
over the waters of chaos
with wings of kindness and love,
not judgement and blame.

Forgiveness Serves Life

texture-1131457_1280

Forgiveness, rising up
from the depths
of the heart,
is as necessary
for cleansing the air
we all breathe
as the spring rains
that nurture and
serve Life.

Darkness and Light

sun-1037501_1280

In that place
where darkness
and light
feather gently
into one another,
the universe offers
its children
a lesson
of peace.

On the road…

On the road
to self-discovery,
you will come upon
a place and time for forgiveness,
the giving and receiving of it,
unless you have made that turn
leading to a dead end.

Wherever you stand…

Wherever you stand
be the soul
of that place

If you dare…

If you dare to undertake
the journey of self-discovery
without honesty, kindness,
and a sense of humor,
you are bound to trip
all over yourself.

Longing

woman-1148923_1280

I long to see
what I cannot see;
I long to hear
what I cannot hear.
And yet I wait
in patience and peace
because I have learned
to trust in the longing.
