Sunrise dreams
It’s such a gift, to awaken to the light,
The daffodils, the dawn,
The mountain in its gilded repose;
To set aside, however briefly,
The worries of the world and dream of peace.

Generosity
Imagine if all humans
Were as generous as nature,
Pouring their gifts into the world
Without reservation, trusting against all odds
That something, some day, might bear fruit;
Sparing no effort in hopes that might be true.

Misleading assumptions
Things aren’t always what they seem,
And assumptions based
On what we think we know
Can be heart-breakingly misleading.
“See something? Say something!”
Is the slogan of a state under siege:
See something? Look more closely,
And look with an open heart:
What you learn from looking might surprise you.

Welcoming spring
As we welcome the first daffodils of spring,
Our hearts begin to soar
At the thought of warmer days, and sunshine…

Seeing through the shadows
Wherever there is light
There will be shadows.
Our mission is to see through
Our shadows to the truth that lies beneath,
However troubling or awkward it might be.

Fed by the light
Fed by the light that shines on us,
May we in turn bless and protect,
And guide the world
With the light that shines through us.

Rosy smiles of dawn
After days of clouds, the sky clears again,
Parting to reveal the mountain
That hovers in the distance,
Wreathed today in rosy smiles of dawn,
As if to welcome spring.
