Pockets of Paradise
discoveries
of what we seek
paradise is never obsolete
pockets here
and pockets there
beauty held
in loving care
this sanctuary
what feels so rare
let’s bring it home
and live it there

Foreboding
Foreboding
at the setting horizon
it creeps in again
asking to name it
”foreboding” came in
an unsettled feeling
uneasiness clear
what is this warning?
what is so near?
in a practice of clearing
of examining within
what am i missing?
where do i begin?
where am i welcomed?
what offerings do i decline?
am i being inclusive
or trying to do it myself all the time?
am i receiving
the gifts that are offered?
and those synchronicities
that keep happening
are they not miracles proper?
to empty all out
to share from the heart
to feel gentle sweetness
is this what we can impart?
what is this gift of a warning
before an outcome is advanced?
what awareness can be gained?
how can our future be enhanced?
yes we are in this together
your suffering is mine
let us journey on our paths
with our love intertwined

Defining and Aligning
Defining and Aligning
a mother-in-law shared
what represented her wisdom
time to define wisdom
with the use of the prism
white light is made up of
all the colours of the rainbow
wisdom is made up of
so many key perspectives
perspectives that have
all passed the test of time
perspectives to which
many align
white light passing thru a prism
separates white into equal parts
showing each colour in its full glory
wisdom in the same way
can be seen as a conglomerate
of many key perspectives, even virtues
so let us define
what is our truth?
what serves life best?
can we have our way?
what about for the rest?
or must it be for all?
maybe a test
is it inclusive?
does it follow the golden rule?
does it come from compassion?
does it come from love?
definitive practices
sharpen the sword
the sword used to free us
by cutting the cord
the cord of confinement
of being controlled or outweighed
the cord that manipulates
and can make us afraid
once we are freed
yes the work must be done
a new world is opened
with joyful expression and fun
let us align now
to the wisdom of love
to all common virtues
to the honouring of
what makes us happy
and what we want for all
that is our intention
when we answer the call
