Day of the Eagle

Day of the Eagle
the day of the Eagle
would not be complete
if we did not remember
to accomplish one feat
the gift of the Eagle
is to fly high and view
the big picture, long vision
and we can do it too
what is on the horizon
about to appear?
and when all is taken in
what is the knowing of the seer?

Worn Tires

Worn Tires
the body of a vehicle
maintained to perfection
does not function well
if there has been a neglection
of the tires supporting
once they are worn
tires must be replaced
and it is our feet not our shoes
tires of the human race
precious to walk on
to dance and to run
critical for balance
for both the aged and young
to look after our feet
wear shoes that fit
allow toes to spread out
and allow them to grip
exercise the toes
and they will serve us well
and often go barefoot
feel how the feet propel
feel the grass and the sand
toughen up the soles
our feet will remember
their Earth connection
and roles

Do First What You Fear Most

Do First What You Fear Most
a long time ago a friend shared a favourite quote
and a lesson he lived by
“do first what you fear most”
then the rest will all flow with ease
so….times are really challenging us
feeling overwhelmed?
time to make a list?
what are our fears?
why do they exist?
how can we get help?
are they fears or motivators?
what would happen if we changed our beliefs?
the big ones, the really big ones
can be turned over to the unseen
with our prayers and requests
then on our list there will be many about:
relationships
health
safety
home/shelter
food/nourishment
financial
and others that are hidden
in our day to day life
ask that question what do you fear most?
then take the most present
and for the day be the host
and entertain them
living aware, questioning, exploring
is our fear metaphoring?
take the first steps
play with it!
have fun, be silly, ridiculous
and you will soon understand
life is just like a game
win some, lose some
but always the challenge
we can overcome
overcome fear
by changing gear
after we stop, look and listen
