Centering

Circle of Life

Circle of Life

Patience and persistence will bring new levels of ease
The center is the place of no resistance, no strain, no pain
Staying in the very middle of it all takes steady focus
On the fleeting nature of time, the essential nature of change
The vessel we become as a result is filled with blessing

Magic Moon

Moon Dream

Moon Dream

Black moon illuminates the darkest secrets of change
Under the influence of nature, growth happens underground
Roots spread and take up the magic of the earth around them
Feeding the sprout of new vision, inspiration, and grace
No sign of life appears above until everything is in place

Dream Corridor

Stepping stone dreams bring me closer to clarity
Upon opening my eyes I start to drift from the course
Into a sea of busy, important, never-ending issues
That will turn out to be meaningless in the end
Light and dark have shades and shadows
Time has the power to make the story bend
As daylight slips slowly into my vision
Contrasts and sharp edges change my decision

Holes In Our Theories

Holes in the theory

From childhood to old age we change our definitions of fear
We learn to isolate ourselves from the dark side of the world
We distinguish ourselves by the way we carry ourselves
Through crisis into glory, which could melt away at any moment
Revealing the depths of our ignorance showing our innocence

Discard

reflection

reflection

The hand that is drawn is only the whisper of what will be
Each play has a meaning, although this is never obvious
While the game proceeds to the end of the deck we discover
That some of the cards we have discarded were essential
To our self confidence and poise
It is too late to reverse, and too early to fold

Rush

river

river

The sounds are all drowned, muffled by roaring thunder
As the speakers and the spoken words flow like a torrent
Swirling around rapids, churning up silt that washed down
When the mountains were flooded with bitterness and fear
These times are all uncertain and these places in danger
We watch the currents of resentment carve pathways
Through the river beds of stone where gold was once found

Garden Variety Glory

August 13, 2018

Rain blessed the day with gentle showers and clean clear light
Scattered rays of sunshine breaking through clouds colored
The end of the morning, creating a mosaic on the wet grass
This momentary balance between storms is only a glimpse
Into the power of nature and the glory of timeless beauty
