The mix of community

A mix of shapes and colors

Makes a garden so appealing.

When will we come to realize

The same is true for communities?

Celebrate!

All nature sounds her trumpets:

Sing for joy!

Celebrate the new day and give thanks

for all the blessings we’ve received!

You were meant for this.

There is so much joy in discovering

who and where you were meant to be

and doing what you were meant to do.

Relax and bask in the light of the moment:

you were meant for this.

Surrounded by love

Haunted by the illusion of aloneness?

I pray the fog will lift and then reveal

the truth -- that you're surrounded by love.

A shady place

I hope that in the heat of the day

you may find a quiet, shady place to rest...

The roses or the thorns

Filled with sadness

For those who walk

The path, so lined with flowers,

But cannot see the roses for the thorns...

The purity in stillness

There is a purity to be found in stillness.

Help me today to quiet my thoughts

That purity may be restored.
