Getting started is half the battle.

LIVING IN THE MOMENT

 Thirsty for the new
Each moment honors the undiscovered
 Expanding our existence and opening our hearts 
See how formless images
Stretch the foundations of the already
Breaking forth
Destroying the path once traveled
Embracing emptiness


Forsaking the past
Judgments lift
Fear loses its power
 
Behold the visions sleeping
Where the unexpected lies
Free our spirits
To welcome the golden moment
Come to me ageless mystery
Come to me… show me your face.

Being kind takes the same amount of effort as being unpleasant.

TRY
 
To unravel life’s mystery 
Sprinkle your days
With dreams and laughter 
Reach out to someone…
Open your mind and heart

With a new optimism
You can find the beginning
To make a sacred connection
Here you can even love yourself…  
See what happens when you TRY.

Take small steps in the right direction.

FATIGUE 
 
A soft frown unfolds around her lips
Like the sun’s bountiful light
Moving onto someone else’s dream
She tries to cover the truth
Like the clouds hiding
The moon on a starry night
 
Everyday she weeps
The subtle drip ..drip…drip
Is heard by those
Who know her well
A dripping that shows
Her cry from within
 
One day she strives to unwrap
The pointless frets and ruts of illusions
That condemned her here
Through choice she’s ready to flourish…
By breathing easy
And opening her heart
Giving others a helping hand
She honors her spirit’s renewal
And in that awakened moment
Recognizes she too is a fellow traveler
Feeling life’s boundlessness for the first time.
