A Prayer for Sleep
a prayer for sleep
to nourish, and complete
a day full of active beginnings
may sleep let us rest
our renewal request
that we may return to our wholeness
we are grateful to be
to do and to see
and rest nurtures our living potential
grant us this peace
to renew and release
then awaken to greet a new day

The Art of Giving
let us study the art of giving as a new way of living
and play it forward
let us bring to our neighbour something to savour
gifted not borrowed
the art of giving is sparked in the heart
an awareness of suffering, a desire to uplift
taking action to help others
or giving an anonymous gift
celebrating a life
can we mindfully live with the desire to give
and seek the opportunities daily?
can we share our abundance, our wealth of knowledge?
what we’ve acquired of value from this lifetime’s college?
a lending hand, an ear to listen
can we organize a drive for someone deprived
of the necessities of life
and what are they?
water, food, shelter and clothing are often quoted
love and friendship, peace and respect have been promoted
we can see the needs, the opportunities to give
to give of ourselves so others may live
cherished and cared for
let us seek within and expose our whole being to the art of giving
let us seek to become artists in the form
of generosity born
and give

The New Frontier
qualities of the divine are behind you
qualities of the divine are within
qualities of the divine are ensphering all
as we come into alignment with love
deeply held cores of creation
expanding and enriching the growth
pleasurable moments of elation
and quiet times of reflection, both
peace being generated by being
peaceful in moments with charge
kindness overcoming our judgements
as we embrace a new world at large
wandering elements of delusion
illumined by having the faith
knowing we are growing our future
by being inclusive to all in our space
the importance of being resourceful
and of sharing the abundance we have
wanting the best for our children
all children, we speak on their behalf
holding the divergence of similarity
as a tool to create simplicity’s more
solutions are ingeniously emerging
from the depths of our co-creative core
surrendering to the flow that is surging
and to a new world of co-habitation emerging
for we are both the shipbuilders and pilots
navigating the new frontier
