Heavy Snow*

There is a division between pain and moods 

They may be sisters but mayn’t always join hands

Oh meditation I honor you

Together you remind me of my inner spirit and how loved I am 

You bring a song my heart  

Joy and peace to my soul 

Oh how the grass turns green even though there may be turmoil 

Oh how the cold white snow glistens in the morn light 

Oh fierce winds you have pruned my tree with a natural beauty 

But today the lights shine over this tree 
and the sunshines even brighter through you then before

I smile yet I still cast a shadow

I am beautiful through and through  

You speak to me in each step I take

I am here

I exist

I may sink deep at times but rise up tomorrow 

I may feel low but today there is no denying the sky  

The same heavy snow which breaks the branch 

brings it beauty

Still Waters

Oh how beautiful you shine upon me 

reflecting my happiness as well as my pain

You raise me up 

so I may see my joyous spirit 

For this moment I am eternally grateful

Your reflection on my still waters 

awaken me 

yet I must also squint at your intense lights

Your florescent rays 

radiate within me

Today do I chose to reflect you 

and let you seep in

Meditating Indoors

Meditating Indoors

Basic Elements of the Meditation Table

1. Candle
2. Plant, flower or plant cutting in water
3. Objects from a special place (rock, seashell, twig, etc.) I like to write the date and/or local on them.
4. Special Picture that represents love, peace or joy  

Objective:   The candle’s flame provides an ideal point to focus on.  The plant or cutting brings nature indoors which helps enhance our connection to nature and our higher powers.  The special objects and picture keeps our focus in a positive direction.
