“Do Not Disturb”

Remove
the “Do Not Disturb” sign
from your heart
if you wish to be
a student of Love.

The Road to Wholeness

The road to wholeness
is the road of love—
that is, the road of forgiveness,
reconciliation, and self-surrender.
Are you sure you want to go there?

That First Step

Do not let the dazzling light
of your ultimate destination
or that longed-for solution
to your current,
life-draining conflict
blind you to the here and now
invitation to take that first,
or that next, “small” step.

Love’s Call

By refusing
to heed Love’s call
and by walking away,
we run the risk
of settling for
a counterfeit life.

My Greatest Poverty

I encounter
my greatest poverty
when I live my life
as if it doesn’t matter.

What You Love to Do

Discover what you love to do,
then for your soul’s sake,
and the world’s sake,
find a way to do it.

Time for a Break

Stringing words daily
for inspiration’s sake,
it’s time for a pause,
time for a break.

Back in a couple of weeks.
Peace, love, and joy to all!

Imperfections

If we dare expose
our imperfections to the light
we might stop tripping
over them in the dark.

So-cial Me-dia

Let us not confuse
“likes” and life.
It behooves us
to recognize
and remember
the difference.

Life’s Simple Things

Consciously pause
to enjoy life’s
simple things
with a gratitude
equal to your delight.
