Forest Meditations

20170628_151344

As I entered the trail, lingering March winds pushed the canopy of tree tops one way and the other,

all at the same time, yet I was quickly surrounded by the gentleness of the forest,

a safe place deep in the coolness of the earth.

The wildflowers were blue this time, while the vanity of the woodpecker could be heard

in the distance. And I wondered how far a prayer could travel, certainly beyond the poplar and oak trees…

I understood then, how peace walked this earth, from the very beginning.

Writers II

As writers we see with our eyes, our hearts,

our spirits even

dismantling prejudice

we have visions of wings

sensing the value

of each and every person,

and then……

a new day dawns

so we write it all down.

I Saw the Sunrise

I saw the sunrise on Christmas morning, and somehow…..

the world seemed a little more peaceful,

a little more hopeful…..

Amen.

Grey Sky Blue Sky

The sky was grey this morning, and I couldn’t find the words anywhere,

until I took the weight off my shoulders,

lifted a prayer

and stopped trying to save the world.

Then my grey sky turned blue,

words landed, took shape

and I could even write a poem

or two.

Hope Finds a Way

Even in our fractured spirits hope finds a way, finds an opening

so that we begin to long for the healing,

allowing the peace to take over

as if we were the ocean

unlimited,

filled

with sunlight.

Lifted to the Sky

20190719_151540

As I walk along the beach, sensing the rhythm of the waves,

the depth of the horizon,

and the brightness of the sun,

I allow peace

to free my being

until

I am lifted

to the sky…..

Filled with Power and Beauty

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life, as by the obstacles which he has overcome.”

Booker T. Washington

Wishing you great success today as you overcome obstacles, inspiring others with your courage!

May your sails be filled with power and beauty!
