There is an eternity in every moment
Throughout the day, take a moment
for prayer and reflection
There is unending peace there…
=====
Deep peace rains
its misty blanket
Each time
I check in with Spirit
With birdlike beak, he sniffed the air
flapped his arms and stretched
then fluttered off to the next thought
which was very similar to the last
• • •
In a nest of pregnant stillness
where feathered thoughts circled
enough peaceful song arose
to keep him centered and content
• • •
On breezes still or dancing
his spirit soared in noisy silence
in anticipation of yet another day
The door is ajar
unlocked by willingness
• • •
I am a jar
ready and willing
a vessel of light
Expectant and empty
while filled to overflowing
with joy – the stuff of Love
• • •
Pushing softly with whispers
intrepid faith through fear
I open the door to greet the light
Digital connection
and all the “friend” inspection
sidesteps some detection
of our foibles and humanity
Yet, that imperfection
when under dissection
mirrors without trepidation
that which we may not see
=======
The tribes are growing
through electronic knowing
A screen full of faces glowing
strangers, now close, discovering
Life has been
berry, berry good to me
Juicy, luscious
so delicious
Even in winter
when berries are only
thinking of becoming
My mouth waters
as I discover anticipation
once more each year
• • •
What a gift is life!
What a treat are berries!
Once again, I am rendered
sense-more with gratitude
