unconditional love

Dose of Love

A daily practice

a dose of love

Given lavishly

without hesitation

even on the darker days

or hours so busy

there is no time

for actual evidence

Written out in loving long hand

and kissed by heart’s instincts

Unconditional love

Comes from up above

and it fits like a glove

We are surrounded

swimming in a sea

of unconditional love

We’ve only made up

this illusionary game

of separateness

so we can rediscover

the unconditional love

Once again

Sweet Spirit

Feather-light

The touch upon my memory

And as sweet

As a newborn anything

Remembering the love

In my heart

For Spirit

Potential Contemplation

Sitting on the shore of contemplation
he let the tsunami of love
wash over him

The look of bliss on his face
incredibly sweet…

One more time, he realized,
another moment appeared

Full of potential
for any kind of experience
he wished to have

*Note: Just to let you know what’s been happening with the Daily Napkin, Marshal fell off a ladder three Sundays ago and has not been going to work for the last two weeks while he recovers from his injuries. His healing is progressing quite well, thank you, and he will most likely be returning to work next week. In the meantime, we will fill in with some past Napkins that haven’t been posted before. Our apologies for two weeks of no posting and please enjoy.

Pond of Forgiveness

Bathing in the pond of forgiveness
near the meadow
out beyond right and wrong

There is no other peace
like immersing self
in those still waters

Birds chirping overhead
warmth of the loving sun
ready to enfold me
like a babe in arms

Soft fertile Earth
ready to foster
and nurture new growth
softened by my salty tears
and seeded by my timid smiles

Dose of Love
