Presence is a Virtue

Presence is a Virtue

to be totally present
to be actively aware
to listen, observe
is a showing we care

nothing more important
no distractions exist
the focus is on the moment
no nuance dismissed

separation dissolved
a oneness confined
presence is a virtue
when all are aligned

Happy Birthday Dear Friend

Happy Birthday Dear Friend

Go quietly now
Dance lightly on your toes
The heavy load is lifted
The future now exposed

Carry forth the lessons
The learning that is yours
Gift it to the multitudes
As your ancestors have before

Dear friend you are treasured
One of the modern day sages
You’ve appeared yet again
As we turn the pages

Your family through example
Gave you strength and gave you love
Your children have followed
With their connections to above

Yours friends gather in gratitude
Your leadership is humble
Strength and love and courage too
Have allowed the old to crumble

Replaced by the new
A shared vision strong
Gathered from all the directions
We’ve found where we belong

With a future that’s bright
We’ve come to dance in the light
With peace and joy reflections
Viewed in all directions

Dance lightly now
Celebrate this time
Happy Birthday dear friend
You have a newness divine

Right Ear Receiver

Right Ear Receiver

in the space of silence
a place to tune in
a ringing, a buzzing
receipt from the spin

the spin of the incoming
a vibrational mix
hearing, receiving
set to transfix

transfixed to transform
who we are to be
our journey to becoming
what our soul now can see

hear from the right
pass thru the heart
return to creation
by doing our part
