Shining His Light

by | Jul 14, 2010 | | 0 Comments

A point of light
in all the darkness
Shines and sparkles
in velvet night
The fire of Spirit
shines a beacon
Burning bright
from him
for all to see

Best Friends

by | Jul 13, 2010 | | 0 Comments

We ride the tides
big waves and eddies
You and I best friends
through it all
You up, me down and the other way
a great connection
silent listening, hand extends
shouting or singing
You can count on me
even in the dark
And I know you are there
even with my eyes closed

The Truth

The Point is not the point
Rather, the heart of the matter
defines the quality
and rhythm of life
We can justify with statistics
and other implements
yet under construction
The Truth simply is
Now and Always
The true Point

Man of Integrity

Walking in integrity
Loving each day
with every fiber

He is a harbinger
of integrity
and a gift
to this world

(*Special note: Today is Marshal’s birthday and he is 57 years old. Huzzah!)

Serenity of Service

Loving the least
in all our humanity
Filling our cup
at the well of service
Bowing our heads
in all humility
giving it up
Surrender and peace
True serenity

On Purpose

Intent and focus aligned
seeking all parts engaged
on purpose
Heart open widely
to guidance
Enamored of Beloved
every fiber of being
living in devotion

Billboard of Memories

Mysterious layers

each with a story to tell
Hidden beneath
more plaster or paint
like some abstract painting
rich texture and hints
Silent messages
overlooking the plaza
where the busy congregate
and only fleetingly notice
the wisdom of prosperous past
A billboard of memories
long forgotten

Life Blessed

by | Jul 1, 2010 | | 0 Comments

Surrounded by community

Lifted up and supported

By their love and actions

He grew up sure of himself

With a heightened sense

Of his integral part of it all

And a solid knowing

That he had been gifted

With a life blessed with purpose

His heart sang natural gratitude

To the Great Mystery of it all

Roots Planted

Tenacious as bamboo

Resilient and strong

He grew where he was planted

In the center of his soul

On the banks of Life’s flow

Inspiration blossoms there

Like weeds of truth

Beautiful and ungroomed

Awaiting his arrangement
