I can feel my light

fading softly,

the brightness of youth

dims to the gentle glow

of old age.

Is life measured in years

or is it better to count the expansion of the heart?

Oh, how the heart rides the waves of love!

Turmoil gives way to peace,

doubt blossoms into faith.

Aging rises slowly,

inevitably,

while youth walks away 

at a fast pace.

The old ones s...

Don't try to interfere with destiny,

don't worry about failure and loss,

everything self-corrects in its own time.

It is all written in the Book of Life,

your own,

their own,

yours is yours

and theirs is theirs,

no need to boss people around

and stir up the dust of anxiety--

they will discover how and what to do

in the expanse of time.

Just reach out and encoura...

I need a tree

to give me shade from the sun,

I need a flower

to give me joy when I'm blue.

I need some dirt

to plant a few seeds,

I need a bit of rain

to grow the plants.

I need a little wind

to blow away sorrow,

I need a friend

to join me in laughter.

I need the morning

to wake me up,

I need a star

to hold my wishes.

Really, this is all I need,

R...

Butterflies flutter

inside

when we are nervous,

butterflies alight

on flowers

to say hello,

little messengers,

reminding us to breathe

and smell the flowers.

No need to hurry,

no need to worry,

life unfolds

at its own pace,

problems resolve

at their own pace.

Be like a tree,

steady and calm,

open branches

inviting the butterflies

to rest on ...

From where comes your strength, oh fellow voyager,

when your steps are heavy and your heart sorrowful?

Do you look high to the skies and implore the celestial for assistance?

Do you look deep within and ask for an outpouring of solid will?

Do you crawl into a corner and breathe until you feel an opening for resurrection?

Every being finds strength in their own way.

Even collapse ...

I feel like I'm living under a dark moon,

I'm waiting for the clouds to pass, 

waiting for a light to open its rays,

so many sufferings, 

so little relief.

But patience peeks from the corner of thought,

remember, remember,

all is in movement,

nothing is stagnant, 

the moon will shine bright again, 

guidance will light the path.

Wait with peace,

fret not,

Go into the clouds,

the beckoning clouds,

hear the rhythm of the rain,

hear the song of the thunder.

I did not breathe you

into existence,

but I joined you

in this walk of life,

I can not carry you

but I can help you

in our uplifting.

Yes, this life is heavy

with many burdens

but we have strength

in each other.

Let's go sit on a cloud

awhile and smil...

I ask for illumination

I ask for freedom from trepidation

I ask for exploration of solutions

Immense are the problems

Wide are the divisions

I ask for guidance

I ask for resolution

I believe in wisdom

I believe in strength

I believe in boundless joy

I ask, I believe

I jump into expectation

Let it be so

And it is so

When I feel mother earth beneath my feet,

I am soothed.

It matters not where I am

north, south, east or west,

it matters not what I see,

birth or decay,

I am soothed

by the rhythms

of the turning globe

beneath my feet.

Looking down,

dirt and weeds,

flowers and trees.

Looking up,

sky and clouds,

rain and thunder.

Destruction and reconstruction,
