By the time I got to realize
By the time I opened my eyes
I only thought to get my ducks in a row
They had grown into to horses with riders.
So on Soul’s knees I surrender.
Turn it over to remember.
When I let things get out of control
I can turn ducks into horses.

with kind words across the street.
I will honour Thee

I will honour Thee

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 [...]

I sit to contemplate.
The full moon shines
deep within my
“Beingness”.
I am renewed.
Comforted and healed.
In this moment I am loved.
In this moment
I am Love.
I await the dawn to Serve.
The blending

While reminiscing over the year that is passing
I am blending in new colours to a heart that is lasting.
Staying in the moment
Now the past is future too
Gives my new year’s revolutions a bigger point of view.
You are the Artist

You are the Artist
within.
Life gives you many colors,
brushes, styles, canvases and subjects.
What you paint for others to see is
your reflection of the great Artist within.
What you paint for yourself and God alone to see
Is what sustains you in the long night of winter.

The beautiful cathedrals of Europe
Call rituals to mind.
The Temples of the far east provide
Enlightenment to the blind.
The mosques are row dotting the landscape
Expanding our capacity to love.
For me, the most beautiful place
Is this Temple within
Filled mercy from above.
I go to this temple in the moment.
I meditate, contemplate, pray.
Being in touch with the Master
Enlivens each [...]

I see
Only
stumbling blocks.
I find my way
Into that cool
Lake of Love
I discover
Myself.
I discover
Stepping stones
calm acceptance.
Knowledge
of all
Gifts .
Everything leads
to
the Mountain of God.
I see
then
I was created in His image.
Everything is
A reflection of
my own beauty.
Memories of stumbling [...]
