Receive

Receive
receive
challenge what we believe
ask the questions
and receive
as we emerge into an awareness
that all are connected
leaving the torque of duality
we are shedding the old
the gift of emotions
can direct our due diligence
when the unsettled emotions
disturb our sense of well-being
dive in and ask
ask ourselves and ask of others
what is this?
what is my belief?
is this true in my experience?
to my observing?
what would i rather believe?
then become that belief
let the body receive and embody
the new you
and how often do we forget
to ask for help and for guidance
from a state of mediation, of prayer
we can trust and grow a reliance
on the unseen presence
that is always there
receive
receive
and soon all will believe
we can change this world
experiencing peace, beauty and joy
together as love

How to Share the New

How to Share the New
a time of great change
this moment in life
filled with the beauty birthed
from both awakening and strife
letting the struggles from the past
dissolve from within
standing strong and in harmony
now begin, yes begin
step into that future
the one that is waiting
choose carefully your confidants
who you can share of the anticipating
walk with a few
who know your heart’s calling
invite in their questions
of how into place all is falling
paint the new picture
of beauty and joy
the excitement yet caution
as our life lessons we employ
include these chosen ones
in the visions you paint
asking for their support
in who we are and what we ain’t
become the new you
radiate your love and your presence
punctuate your sharing
with love in every sentence
honour their witnessing
reflect on their questions
keep the quiet within
continuing to learn those life lessons
ease into the new
as you share with the few
all wanting the best – the very best
for you

Omicron

Omicron
the 15th letter
it’s Greek to me
an alphabetical O
in ancient languagese
an O or a circle
let it be big or small
they can hold what’s within
or mean nothing at all
a zero or to encircle
complex as we want to make it
then why did the WHO
assign it to covid?
letters can be assigned
to variants of concern
a virus so unusual has made the mouth
round to make the sound
ohhhh or oh-oh!
we have seen it as a concern
creating chaos in our world
yet many assign it a zero
nothing
believing it is fear that creates the chaos
exhaustion, devotion
full range of emotion
when faced with such overwhelm
let us play
go back to the Greek alphabet
and play, be child-like
meditate and say Ohhh…
long and hollow
let this sound lay at rest
so we may digest
once our fear has been swallowed
our love of life can be followed
forever more
