Wind in the pines
teaches me Silence.
Wind of change blows hard
against she who will not be moved.
Wind, glorious Wind, blows
The cobwebs of winter away.

Service is the Silence
Photo with Sonny Galea Jasper National Park September 1, 2008
When I come to the place of Silence
With a heart full of laughter and joy.
It is in that moment
That I am the Master’s toy.
When I allow Him to give me instructions
When I put His work at the ‘fore
When I dedicate all my energy and actions
When I live here “as below so above”.
I do not have to wait for the rapture
I serve in the moment with love.
Then I know that this lifetime is more.
More of His infinite mercy
More of His boundless gifts
More opportunities of service
More of His children to lift.
A smile, a hug or a greeting
Acknowledges the Soul I am meeting.
Then there is no surprise
That I see the Master
In another eyes.
The holiest moment
The most sacred thought
The holiest moment
Is the one
Where I dedicate it to
The One.

The painting -Esquao

Carman Haakstad, Benita Galandy, ESQUAO the SEEKER, and Mary Helen Ferris
There she stands in our living room
Turning the corner into a concert hall.
The song that eminates from her
Matches Soul’s song within.
She will soon have a new home
If a ticket you select
She will always stand guard over us
She lives in our hearts I suspect.
How often in life
Does one perceive
An object or painting
That speaks, “Believe.”
More than that I hear it say
“Service to the Creator
Is why I have passed your way.”
So if/when the painting has to move on
From our hearts she will never be gone.
Should you graze upon her
Your heart it will embrace.
The beauty will astound you
Take you to another place.

My Love’s Love
How charmed is my life since you I met
Long forgotten are the tears I once wept
Wishing and yearning to meet my prince
Who rescued me from a life I have not known since.
Each night, we drift hand-in-hand
Floating off to a dreamy land.
Every morn, the graze of your lips
Return me from my subliminal trips.
Serenade my heart with songs of sparrows
Prick my heart with cupid’s arrow.
Our love and life forever entwined
So I am eternally thine.
Together we continue to write our fairytale
Consecrating bliss of epic scale.
Paralleled to the extravagance of heaven above
Is each day lived within the love of my love’s love.

Glbi
it means my heart.
You had mine
right from the start.
Your smile brightens
Up my room.
Your courage
Banishes away gloom.
You are kind and loving.
A joy to behold.
I send you my heart, glbi.
It is yours to hold.
In your friendship
I have remembrances
Filling my night with dreams
that spill over becoming a
quiet smile on my lips for you.
The mystery

The mystery
of the Master’s love
is hidden in every rock,
tree and brook.
It is also hidden in your beloved neighbour’s
eyes if you care to take a look.
My Ticket Home
When faced with an illness
An accident
A fall
I rejoice
Asking
“Is this my ticket home?
Am I about to answer the call?”
The wise one who teaches me
Answers with a kind laugh in his voice…
“You are already Home.”
Acceptance dances as one with Soul.
I delight in this moment.
I know I am Home.
I truly rejoice.
I am whole.
