Playgrounds

Playgrounds
at the start of each day
where do we want to play?
opportunities for fun
as our day has begun
decide we can explore away
from playground to playground
wanting to be happy
asking others to join in the play
new ways to move and dance
actively throughout each day
let’s be child-like

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

The Building of Things

The Building of Things
when we see a circle
it represents a sphere
two dimensionally a sphere looks like a circle filled in
and that is where our playfulness can begin
be it a snowball
a ball of cookie dough
a rounded handful of potter’s clay
we can take and mould it
into be what may
imagination
is a key to creation
becoming part of creation
you become and feel it
and what we see can no longer be
we’ve transported an idea
into a living formation
full of movement and purpose
we can build our dreams
