For This Moment

 

As I open my eyes 

there are no longer tears

but

dancing lights upon my spring waters  

 

Appearing so

close

I can almost touch them

 

For this moment...

I have found my love

The First Day of Winter

 

 

I gaze down onto the my fresh footprints in this early morning's snow

 

Oh no

Oh no

I must go

I must go

These feet may be still

but my heart and hands are anxious to make their

next step

their next movement

Is this the way?

Is that the way?

I ask my self

Breathe and let all settle

Oh faithful breath

I live every new moment in your kindness

Oh, how I love you

 

Oh snow around and ice below

I pray for safety in each decision I make

May they be wise and keep me secure

I breathe just breathe within your kindness and goodness  

For this I praise and for this I give thanks

Self Conscious

Today I have negative thoughts about how my neighbors may perceive me when I go on my spiritual walks and meditate by the waterside. “They must think this about me. They must think that about me...” but truth be told, who am I to judge them?

Babies

 

I love babies

for within their smiles and laughter

they give me the gift of more to love
