A Story

 

This morning I spied a worm in the middle of the sidewalk. Knowing of the bright sun and dryness to come, I decided to help it.  

First, I tried to pick it up but it squirmed in fear. In this state, I couldn’t lift it without injuring it. Then I tried to nudge it with a few blades of grass only to have it fall into a crack between the sidewalk crevasses. Unable to reach it at all, I patiently waited hoping it would find its way back to the moist soil where it could not just survive but thrive. Finally the worm maneuvered in the right direction but there stood yet another challenge. With the confidence of overcoming the first hurdle, it now persevered over this small hump even more forthright than before. 

Through this experience, I received greater sense of clarity on how important it is when one may want to guide or protect others, one shouldn’t force what they believe is best. Having the strength to be an observer at times can be much more powerful than the sheppard.

Asteroid

If an asteroid was going to hit the earth...
No one would worry about what boarders we live on or share
No one would worry about what religion we follow
No one would become consumed with hatred or fear for others
No one

No one would care who has more oil, money or power
No one would even care about who has clean water or plentiful crops
No one

But it would be the time in which we seek the company of our loved ones
we would sit hand and hand as one

For that moment we would all be cradled equally
by what has often been forgotten and disregarded, our mother earth

Dear Lord

 

Please make me an instrument of your goodness and forgiveness.

I have transgressed.

I have been blinded my useless ways.

Grant me sight so I may see. Grant me the ability to follow the greater good.

To you I come again.

I have so much to be grateful for

my wonderful children, a loving family and a free country,

good health...except this one illness which I may have problems with. At times it may be my driver but must I be its passenger?

 

I have written with intentions to share your light as well as solace,

Yet I’ve shared your words with so few

and the beauty of your words, I feel that, I don’t often capture its wonderful grace.

 

Please guide my hands gently.

Please open a door so in this life time, in this now, in this moment may I feel the fruits of your labor.

 

Dear Lord

Thank you for the many inspirations I have received.

I beg of you to guide my hands and feet,

so I may walk proudly and share with many others the light of today.

So I may walk in good health with love in my heart.

 

May the fear I have of tomorrow, stop being my driving force and

may the love and light of today lead my way?

 

Sometimes I think I can only share these feeling and inspirations with others in my death

or it is for naught?

I am afraid. I am afraid of death yet have come so close in my mind,

for that I ask forgiveness.

 

May I, my loved ones, and all other living things and this blue planet live long with healthy minds and bodies? 

May the next step I take be with the strength and faith in today?
