Alone

Alone
seeking the inner
unplugged from the chaos
a pause on connection
allowing for reflection
a time to be alone
within one’s own beingness
to be gentle with oneself
to seek from within
finding peace in the solitude
quieting the mind
drifting – no anchors
what is hidden we will find

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

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
