Writers, Be Open

Writers, be open and ready
to search for Truth
and Beauty everywhere
and you will not, for long,
be without a story to tell.

Lake Louise

(Inspired by the awesome beauty of
Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies.)

Shh! Take
off your shoes
and reverence the place.
Shed your too tight skin
and ride the winds that swell
the breast and waken the spirit.
Let your eyes sip and suck,
sate the desire sifting ever the dross
in search of gold. Stake your claim
alongside these others, then dare
go forth alone with courage
to share the fire reignited
deep within your soul.

Commitment

There is a unique beauty
within each of us
that blossoms fully
only with commitment.

Your Unique Beauty

Your beauty and talents
are not for elevating you
above the world
but for calling attention
to the world of which
you are only a part
and with which
you are wholly One.

Mercy

Let the tears of God’s mercy
wash over your heart
and help you to accept
the truth and beauty
of who you are.
