gratitude for the path that has been worn familiar
those walking ahead and along side

praise for the wonders that abound
on every side

prayers for the journey
for each of us
for those who have loved and cared for us
for those who are in need

rocks lining the shore,
light, joy, mystery, sorrow
lakeshore prayer beads

Carry Lightness

That which does not make your heart sing
Is burden.
Carrying it bends you earthward.

The wind is not burdened in blowing.
All is carried skyward
True gift is finding lightness in each endeavor.
True heart is music.

Open the windows.
Be reminded of why you were born.
Hear the song that is vibrating within your soul.

 

Living into the future with plans and dreams
energy spent on 'perhaps' and 'by chance'

Letting go of what might be,
and focusing on
this blue sky,
these soft waves,
attachments float away...

One red leaf is blown onto the surface of the water,
and slowly it is drifting into the past

 

a sense of completeness

ease in deciding

when values are clear,
actions align

urgency is unnecessary

stars become visible even in
the brightest moonlit night
