I Shall Never Pray to My Guru

 

I shall never pray to my guru. Even though my guru is the greatest, wisest spirit that I can perceive .

My guru is just leading me on to the stairway into an opening

Raising me towards a greater love and a higher conscientiousness

Leading me to the connectivity of all life

Teachers

Our teacher

may be a person,

may be a place,

may be a part of nature,

may be anything

 

But it is up to us to open ourselves enough to learn its lessons

 

I keep looking for a person

But I can only feel my lessons thru the tree, the water, the stars...

Sometimes I feel very lonely

Internal Light



Let my internal light

illuminate

my path.

Walks of Peace

I love how you serenade me with the birds' songs

and the gentle breezes throughout  the trees

   

Your perfumed scents of wild roses and honeysuckle...

unfettered innocence, joy

        

 And your taste upon my lips of sour grass and mint.

 

I honor these walks of peace and inspiration.

Chose Light

Have I chosen this path or has it been chosen for me?

Will my next step be...

into the darkness through the light or into the light through the darkness?

 

Chose light always chose light

And So I Did

 

And this large branch was blown down in the storm

 

Its wound bore no pain just openness

From the middle jutted out virgin wood

I tried to break some off for it was so beautiful  

It would not budge
 

In the process a small remnant shattered off and fell into my hand

I held a small piece of its bark

its outside was bumpy and cold

Yet the inside was seasoned wood,

a ruddy orange almost red, a blood orange.

 It was quite jagged yet smooth in places not expected

It said quite clearly “Take me home”

and so I listened

 and so I did.

Perpetual Awe

I walk to you today

The ground maybe soggy from all of the rain these past few days

but it is firm enough for me to go forward

and forward I shall go

The art class, yoga teacher training, spending more time with my husband
Life is changing
My children are getting ready to leave the nest 
My hand is cramping from this writing

but my heart, her cup runneth over

I am so grateful

you will still be my constant

With you I have a destination
With you I have support

With you I see beauty
With you in your naked form I am never alone

To you I come as you leave me in perpetual awe
