Ritual of Awakening

24 Jan

Thru the tangle of branches, I

See clarity: A clear path to a pristine view of myself.

Stillness: A cozy wilderness. Enough. This — a morning of snowy Wonder, a candle lit to thoughtfulness.

Drifting: Thinking of all I love.

About so much goodness—here, Now. The field. All the colors: flowing shapes, shades

Music of my soul, Heart-Light, connections that I cherish

My inside-outside truth.

Safe and Free.

Discovery

22 Jan

I settle into my body: Strong, Steady,

Discovering…. Me

Peace is all around me now

Always into Love

19 Dec

On this voyage of

the soul, may we be

bridge builders,

our common ground

visible beneath the

surface differences.

May we braid the

threads of reconciliation

into a chain of possibility

that joins, heals, and

includes what once

seemed separate.

May our shared prayer

be answered: to grow

so open that there is

no “them” or “us,”

only the One, moving

always into Love.

—Dana Faulds

Metamorphosis at the River

13 May

Walking, standing, sitting, musing:

Again, it happens:

Worry-Fear erased, serenity settles in

I catch the sky.

I walk – and see.

Look – and feel

Listen – and absorb

Sit – and sense the movement

Stand – and take in the Earth’s power

and connection:

In nature

In my soul.

The feeling of

Settling to the earth, my home.

Ok with this place in my life, the true notes of My Song.

The trees, the colors, the sky of being

Here. Thoroughly. Enveloped in all that Is kind, easy, good.

True love.

Shimmering

3 Apr

Sunrise…sparkling new-ness

Dawn of happiness–again: grace of daylight. Sky, ground, softness, courage, chance of delight.

Spring!

So we Begin

17 Dec

Again – new.

The Radiance of Goodness

4 Dec

When I become:

Peaceful, settled, here —

I can see, feel, know: the beauty all around me is all in me. It’s all radiant Light and Love.

When….

17 Nov

When I am still, I create beauty:

Connection, redemption, life, settling, fire/water/air.

And the sunshine of one-ness:

With it all: All love…

Greeting My World

13 Aug

Greeting this day: the sounds…traffic, crickets, bird-chirp, waterfall, buzz of the hummingbird’s wings. I close my eyes and can see the brightness, newness: settled on this sacred ground of mine.

Retreat: to marvel at the harmony of it all.

And give thanks.

Awakening Spring in All

13 Apr

Walking the trail, birdsong.

Peepers! Road crews fixing our streets, the yard becomes

Green, aglow.

My heart sings with gratitude: thankful for the peacefulness of Winter. Thankful for the lift of Spring.
