a simple prayer

oh...
I see.
May I accept this,
with gratitude,
amen.

This Day

My bones are earth,
My blood the sea,
My flesh is grass,
My breath the air,
My life the sunlight,
My mind all I see.

Search

Search the world
For a moment of peace,
Just one peaceful spot,
Search the world,
Search the faces of others,
Search your own heart,
Then look beneath your feet,
There beneath you soles,
It is right here!

the child I see
open heart
hungry mind
growing body
is also the child
within

Letting Go.

I have tried to hold on
To things,
To moments,
To memories,
To sunrises, sunsets,
To lunar phases,
To ocean waves,
To children,
To parents,
To family
To friends,
To a single day,
To my life,
To my plans and schedules,
To everything,
To anything,
With the tightest grip,
I tried to hold on,
But couldn't.
They simply slipped away,
To my lose.

So I learned
To let go,
To let everything,
And everyone,
Be.
And
I find myself
Here and now
With them.

And I learned
To smile
And laugh,
And cry too,
With everything
And anything
That freely graces
My moments
And my life.

Letting go,
I have become rich.
I have become
Me.

What Shall I Tell You

What shall I tell you?
I point to the clouds
You point to the stars.
I point to the trees,
You point to the forest.
I point to the mountain,
You point to the Earth.
I point to the future,
You point to eternity.
I point to you,
You point to me.
