Scottish Broom
The Scottish Broom
is no longer in bloom
It lines our roadways
It colours our May Days
It was seeded by one
who knew its purpose
For a future in time
it will be here to serve us
Will it be medicinal?
Will it be its strength?
Will it be its chemistry?
What do you think?
Before the next bloom
of the Scottish Broom
we will know its potential
It is something essential

Old Habits Released
We have received
and now have believed
an explanation of where
we are stuck
It is simple yet immense
Our old habits are the fence
separating us from the new
paths ahead
The New has arrived
Those finding it have thrived
yet so many are stuck
in the past
Old habits die hard
Time to tear up that old card
and replace the old ways
with the New
As we begin a new day
whether at work or at play
Let us ask is this really what
we want to do
With a vision that we hold
that is both passionate and bold,
what we do is what feeds
that vision
To manifest a new world now
requires taking turns at the bow
to help steer us towards
what’s ahead
Old habits – what are they?
Examine each part of the day
Eating and sleeping, doing
and undoing
We already have access to
information that is new
that can benefit our own lives
and all others
We can become the new model
for others to follow
and thrive and feel blessed
by the change
Are we taking care of our health?
This body is our wealth
that can be sustained thru out
our life time
When we sleep are we at peace
having taken time to release
all the clutter in our minds
from the day?
And what we do thru the day –
is it paving the way
to a life that contributes
to all, the One?
Also knowing of our past
and that all our tokens have been cashed
what can we undo, revive, heal
or now mend?
All the answers are here
We can tune in and hear
knowing what is a choice
Being the voice
Weaving the new
It’s up to me and to you
Begin now each day
Happy in our play
Rejoicing with the change
welcomed, sometimes strange
Knowing we can do it
The visionaries knew it
We cannot fail
Release old habits, set sail
All aboard!

backwards in timE
Consider, consider
living backwards in time
All life’s experiences
hung on a clothesline
Some are still wet
dripping to dry
Others are light
and in the breeze fly
To the wet ones
we re-visit waiting to see
how long it will take
to dry and be free
Backwards thru time
assessing the mix
A few heavy experiences
weighting for a fix
Commune with the energies
the wind and the air
Commune with the fire
and the warmth it can bear
Elemental solutions
to dry out our wet
Once the line’s dry
freedom we get
Consider, consider
now living backwards in time
from the last of life’s experiences
go back down the line
Remove them and stack them
gently put them away
and at the end of the line
start a new day
