Shine Light
When the mind turns to worry,
shine light
to dissipate the darkness.
Worry creates tangles,
soft yellow light
tinged with blue
creates clear pathways
for growth and harmony.
Use your inner guidance
to beam the light
of faith and trust
on the object of your worry --
you will feel lighter,
the situation may well resolve
a bit better --
let go of worry,

One Minute at a Time
One Minute at a Time
There are no monsters here, really,
just alot of creatures clinging to life for their survival.
This is how we are wired apparently.
Every living being fears death,
loss of breath,
loss of nurture.
So our nature is to grab and grasp and not let go
because we are afraid of obliteration.
But is there a different way?
To thrive, should we just l...

Sending Love
Beautiful friend,
I send you love.
If I could wrap joy
in a package,
I would mail it off to you.
If I could plant peace
in your garden,
I would show up with shovel in hand.
But none of this is mine for the giving,
tho' it is ours for the wishing.
And, always, I can send you love,
and this I do,
ceaselessly.

Playing in the Garden
You don't have anything to do
but play.
You thought for a second, "oh, I have so much to do...." and felt dragged down.
Silly goose!
You forgot that work is play.
Work is like going to the gym--
move those muscles and laugh!
Fill your heart with joy!
Play, play, in the garden of life.

Relax
Reduce this moment
to the simplest of elements:
one breath of air,
one sip of water,
one touch of warmth,
one step of movement.
What more is needed?
One smile of love,
one word of kindness,
one embrace of affection,
one corner of solace.
Is life complex?
Yes.
Is life simple?
Yes.
Reduce this moment,
and relax.

The Measure of a Person
Some people accumulate alot of wealth and let their crumbs fall to those at the bottom of the pile.
Some people scrape together what they can and shake their heads in lost confusion.
Who has more worth:
the person who shares their last piece of bread with their neighbor,
or the person who eats until their belly is full with not a glance towards their neighbor?
Share what you have an...
