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.

Healing comes in many forms.
A hug.
A smile.
The morning mist in the sunrise.
The evening fog at sunset.
Gifts fresh from a child.
Prolonged desires from an old one.
Medicines picked with tradition.
Brewed with love.
Served with ritual.
Accepted with respect.
Offerings offered.
Kindnesses given.
Hearts made open
By constant giving.
Healing comes
In many forms.
A fireplace to keep us warm.
A delightful laugh.
A candle light bath.
A famous person’s [...]

I was helped, held, and healed in the embrace
Of my loving Higher Power.
The Sunlight of the Spirit
Rolled over me.

I watched as my pain
Formed into rain.
It renewed the earth as it fell.
The earth sprung up
Into the mountainous skies.
The beauty was shards to Soul.

Cut away the dross.
Cut away the loss.
The peaks were covered with misty fog.
The peaks were covered in rain.

“Dedicate your life and your
actions to the Master.
Do all in His name.
That is the best reflection
of the love that has been given you.
I will always love you.
The Master is always with you.
Listen, dear child, when you want to ask ‘Why’
It is because I told you so.”
