Beauty-Full

-------Beauty-Full-------

A flower does not make 
a seed
to convince the world
that life 
is round, 

But, 
simply,
because a flower 
is a 
flower.

May we allow ourselves
to be as present.
To breathe
while
breathing,

And to become
this 
beautiful light
shining 
inside each of us.

Letting Go


-------Letting Go-------

May
we be,
sweet love,

Like the flowers
growing in
Spring

Letting go
what does not
serve us

And becoming
into the
smile
of the earth.

Undo Right, Undo Wrong


-------Undo Right, Undo Wrong-------

Undoing
the thought-way
of right and wrong

Makes a space
for light
to rise

Like springtime
out
from the belly of winter

Encouraging the seed
in each
of us

To 
unapologetically
unfold.

You Are Sunshine

-------You Are Sunshine-------

If and when the forces come
to steal of you 
belonging

Do not forget 
that you are sunshine,
rainwater,
breath and soil.

The way of war 
has taken land
and turned it into country,

But well beyond 
the border lines
and present 
in our eyes

Is the prayer 
of life 
reminding

That into earth
we each return
and from this Earth
we rise.

Falling to Pieces

-------Falling to Pieces-------


Untangling
the knots of 
expectation
is and will be 
messy


But just like falling
into love
is 
a falling
to pieces


Letting go
lets grief to hold
to heal
and move us through 
the limitations


Into 
the darkness
and 
in
to light.

Allow the Cold


-------Allow the Cold-------

Within this Winters
slow
unfolding

Allow the cold
to hold
your hand,

To calm
the longings
and deepen breath.

Presence
defies
the rush of Empire

And makes a space
for joy
to rise.

Made of Many


-------Made of Many-------

Keep warm
in the light of knowing
you
are not alone

And
do not
blame
another,

For every
one
is made of
many

And much has been
to make
this
moment.

Receive the wind
as it bends
upon you,
around you,

And around we turn,
endlessly becoming
a star
in the night.
