The Sunshine Held

-------The Sunshine Held-------

Like the sunshine

held

inside a seed,

What will become

already 

exists.

Within each

and everyone

there is a beautiful gift,

A piece

of the

entire,

Awaiting 

Love's attention

to unfold.

-------

New World

-------New World-------

Rain

drops

on a frozen lake

And the birds

of early Spring

return.

Be present,

dear heart,

to the world that is emerging.

Within every
little seed

a forest is held,

And realized

through

imagination.

-------

Rather Than Anger

-------Rather Than Anger-------

Rather than anger,

listen in

to the words 

that spark this fire inside
you.

For beneath their cover

is a long and winding story

that has led

to this
very moment.

Remember,
every one

is a child

of the earth

and sky.

We are not here

to be right.

But maybe,

simply

to be loved.

-------

Through Human

-------Through Human-------

A waxing moon

and the lake is
speaking.

Like Mother Earth

through
Human

The currents turn

and crack
 the ice,

Lifting a warm
and
gentle voice

Into the frozen
world

above.

-------

Precious Form

-------Precious Form-------

The stars have made

not one body,

one branch

or spore 

the same as any other.

For every seed

there is a universe

unfolding

into Spring.

I am

not

man,

but human.

Earth,

water

and light

taking precious 

form.

-------

Coherence

-------Coherence-------

It is not hope that guides the flock.

No one

and only

leader.

But the coherence of many hearts

following their truth

toward

home.

-------

Through the Cold and the Quiet

-------Through the Cold and the Quiet-------

In the darkness

I learn 

to see again.

To pay 

attention.

To trust.

Through 

the quiet

and the cold

My plans forgive

to the turning

of earth,

And the seeds within

begin

to stir,

Like beautiful dreams,

awaking into

spring.
