Music of the Wind

Watch the trees

dance

to the music of the wind

Sunbeams

As I see sunbeams

upon the crystal spring waters

they dance their dance

and I dance mine

The Waterfall- 2

I am in the place of the waterfall.

There’s a large one in the distance

Approaching it I can feel its gentle, fine spray.

I become the waterfall and flow into sunlit pool below. 

Rejoining with my body

I float

My hair sways from side to side  

Drifting to the water bank

As I stand each joint and limb rejuvenates

Then bending down, I sip from its refreshing waters.

An endless field of multicolored pansies appears in front of me with hundreds of petals beneath my feet.

I scoop up a handful of petals and bring them to the waters.

They float gingerly

There is now unity as the waters, petals, and my body become one.

One exuberance,

One rejuvenation

One peace.

Laughing With the Geese

Sometimes I feel very lonely…but I never feel alone sitting by the pond pondering while the geese carry on their lively conversations with each breeze.

Today as I listen, I will let myself feel laughter. 

In my meditation, I joined hands with my family and friends, then we rolled in the grass and swam in the spring waters. We laughed and laughed and laughed as the geese joined in.

Madness

There is a fine line between madness

and spirituality--at times they overlap

Essence

The soul is our essence and the spirit our guide

Air, Earth and Water

Give thanks to this ground in which I walk gingerly upon

May it feel happiness in this moment

Give thanks to the air I breath deep into my lungs

May it see clarity

Give thanks to the water, plentiful today

May I see my reflection

and feel her smile.

The Gifts Of the Moment

It must be a frog

I step forward

It becomes silent

Then the wild squawking and impassioned call of a wild goose

Is met with a quick response from its mate

They fly towards one another and skid into the pond

Oh, joy bequeath

Soar

Today I sense my wings

With the arrival of the early spring’s Robin Redbreast

Days will be longer

Warmer

More carefree

This morn I soar with the Robin

Chirping, free

Springtime is here

The wind on my face

Awakening

Invigorating

Joyous 

We fly above

A clear and beautiful pond 

Surrounded by nothing but a soft whisper of virgin grass

  

Graceful branches of a great willow tree dance within each springtime breeze

A solitary swan glides in the pond

The sun glistens on its back

Two ducks circle

Gently land on the these still waters

Chirping and cooing of invisible birds in the distant brush

A song deep within my breast

Sweet aroma of the forsythia and honeysuckle in full bloom

I sit upon the grass for awhile and just breathe

Touching the sparkling waters

Awakened

Cupping water in my hands 

Drinking it

I am rejuvenated

Renewed

My thirst is finally quenched

Laying back

Gazing at the endless blue above

Absolutely and completely refreshed

Replenished

The gentle warmth of each sunray kisses my cheek

Within all peaceful moments 

This moment is the most ever

Today overflows with wonder, joy and amazement

All of these feelings are put into a special box

Tonight while laying in bed ready for slumber

I open this box and live in this moment once again

Drawing a Smile

To draw a smile

the line must dip a little then go back up

For happiness

one must have some challenges or sadness

and then rise up again

Asking

I asked to see my guru but I only saw my path.

There Is Always Sky

Whether it be clear or cloudy, whenever I gaze skyward I am comforted. Even on the grayest of days, I still know the sky above is blue. Just as if I am in an airplane flying high above the clouds into this endless indigo surrounding our planet. Wherever I am …whatever city, whatever country, whatever continent, if I am with others or alone, I am never far from you ...for there is always sky.

Now Is the Time

Now is the time

to get back in touch with the love

which radiates from me

Once I make it up the hill to reach my home

I will know in my heart that I have reached my destination.

Confronting Fear, Accepting Light

Confronting fear

Accepting light

Acknowledging that the light of g-d is within us is enlightening, yet may also be frightening because in this acceptance we can see ourselves more clearly as a spiritual being and our body as a shell. Life and death are together as one. Faith gives us strength and courage moment by moment. But acknowledgment of g-d as our guide in darkness as well as light awakens us.

Light

A place where light dances upon the waters

A place where light dances upon my soul

A turquoise ocean with tropical currents

I am bathed in the ocean’s warmth

I sit upon golden sands and gaze upon the cresting waters

Each tiny moment kissed by sunlight

Noor-UI-Iman, Ancestors



Drawn by student in Noor-Ul-Iman School at the Islamic Society of Central Jersey

Within the birth of each child, the souls of our ancestors are rekindled.  

 In this innocence and simplicity we can see we are not separate,

we are one.

Oh What Joy

I was met by my white dove guide. We flew together to his favorite spot on a tall treetop. As we watched children play below---my children, my nieces and nephews. We perched and watched. Breezes of peace and calm joined us. We felt joy in the air. After my meditation I suggested that our families make a fire pit in my sister, Judy’s backyard then toast marshmallows, play instruments and sing this evening; and we did!

Renewal

More renewed than I have ever felt before…

I lie in spring waters. My hair spreads and feels silky and clean. I rise from the waters clean and refreshed. The beads of water shine like opals upon my skin. I can see my reflection in the still waters. There I am beautiful with flowers in my hair. There is music everywhere.

Positive Energy

I never aspired to be the sun, just the powers creating and emanating behind its positive energies.

White Bird

Today in my meditation I floated in an inner tire tube on a still pond. The scent of water against stone, the melody of  the chirping birds, embraced in warm waters, I transcended. A mystical white bird perches upon my tube. It joins me on my journey. The white bird opens its beak. I can’t hear its music but I know it will come.

Your Delivery

Each day is a gift, each moment divine

It is not borrowed

It is wrapped up and delivered to you, only you

Bless the water, scarce but adequate

who will walk here after me

Bless this home, our home
