Unnecessary losses

Prostrate with grief, 

We lie upon the ground and mourn 

Unnecessary losses; 

The ignorance and cruelty, 

The selfishness and greed which cut 

So many lives short before their time. 

When, O when, will we humans learn 

To see each life as part of a shared whole?

Singing your song

It becomes progressively easier 

To sing the song we were born to sing 

As we release the need to be 

Anything other than who we were born to be.

A touch of coolness

For all who suffer in the heat of summer, 

A touch of icy coolness. 

That for which we long 

Can be found within our hearts 

And made manifest in the work 

To which we’re born…

Morning has broken

“Morning has broken, like the first morning; 

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird 

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, 

Praise for them springing fresh from the world.”

Waves of peace

May peace flow over you, 

Sparkling with delight 

Like the waters of the sea…

Dark and light together

Just remember — 

It takes clouds to make a sunset truly spectacular, 

And the true magnificence happens 

Just as the light is going away. 

It’s the interaction of dark and light 

That brings such amazing color into our world.

When the heart soars

When in the presence 

Of the majesty of being, 

The heart soars.
