For Naomi

Meditation is connecting to the light in the now

Please may it be woven together 

with the memories of the lights of yesterday 

to the hope and faith 

of tomorrow 

Oh what a beautiful tapestry 

we can weave! 

Yesterday I turned around just to find 

what I needed 

but never realized I had lost ...faith 
and NOW I am found

Anticipated Joy

It is okay to look forward to tomorrow 

even though it is always uncertain

Sometimes we must get over that unsettling feeling of presumption 

to cultivate anticipated joy

In Anticipation of the Fall

Autumn...

The fruit becomes the seed

Remember...

We do have some control 

over where our seeds 

may fall

A Single Ray

Sometimes it takes many 

gray clouds

 covering the sun

to see the brilliance of 

a single ray

Serenity

May I move with 

calmness and peace 

and feel the serenity 

which always 

follows

Mourning Story

Oh blinding sun 

today I go to you

Oh love so fine 

so strong 

I stand before you unable to stop the rays from the passing light 

Oh tears upon my face and heaviness within my chest 

oh love  

oh light 

I must turn my back from you

The bird's song has gone and I stand before my love 

my light is stranded 

Oh plate before me 

Why must each day start empty 

each day  

each and everyday 

Oh the energy I must put forth to set my silverware around your plate 

My cup does not runneth over 

but stands 

empty

This morning I must find the water 

and use 

the utmost of 

energy to fill you  

Now is the time to find our spring waters

After this morning's meditation...

Oh love 

You cradle me and whisper sweet nothings 

Oh they are not nothings

They replace my sadness 

with your calm 

quiet words 

For in this moment I can feel your kindness

Beauty

Oh yes,  I am surrounded by beauty 

Eventhough at times it is rainy and dismal 

I know above it all 

is endless blue
