A place for everything

There is a place for everything:

the red, the green; the dark, the light;

the tall, the short; the pointed and the round --

the differences, and the balance,

are divine.

Extraordinary joy

Breathe deep, and feel

the air beneath your wings, and see

the colors of the world, and taste

the fresh scent of the sea, and know

the extraordinary joy of being.

The ego tries to save you

The brain/the ego/the mind

is a bit like a pool toy:

you keep trying to sit at the bottom of the pool,

but it is determined to save you

by lifting you back to the surface...

Come sit with me

You are so much more than the stories you tell

and the losses you have borne.

Come sit with me,

and let me wrap you in the arms of love,

that you may be restored

to the fullness for which you were intended.

Guiding the future

Each moment that we stand within

is pregnant with the next.

What choices will you make today

to guide tomorrow closer toward compassion?

Peace

We will never achieve the peace we seek

by gearing up for battle and heading off to war.

On the verge

In conversation or conversion --

whenever altering direction of people or events --

drop your ego in the grass and devote your full attention 

to the moment.

Wait with patience for an opening: it will come.
