A Metaphor for Life

A Metaphor for Life
we have our patterns
we have our habits
we like to challenge ourselves
but there is movement
imagine swimming a set number
of lengths in a pool
and going for a time record
but unknown to you…
there is slow movement
the length of the pool can be changed
by sliding a divider to even
make 2 pools out of one
not looking up it takes a while
to recognize the game is up
you can’t win it
there is the gift
when movement creates change
we can change to acceptance
drop our personal goals
and simply enjoy
the fun of swimming

Monster Cookies

Monster Cookies
to a child who loves cookies
the size matters
the bigger the better
yet there is always a limit
a child may learn to share
by sharing her cookies
a child may learn preferences
or what is too much, too sweet
monster cookies are not for monsters
but for those who feel size matters
cookie lessons are contained
in every morsel, in every bite

Expansion Begins

Expansion Begins
have we noticed a change
in how we’re rearranged
how we used to align
by breathing a line
from below to above
above to below
thru our core?
in deep meditation
we may start this way
from the heart of the Earth
to the Heavens above
feeling the energies flow internally
the shift may now be
we are in our entirety
within the flow
like in a tubular glow
we are part of it
in our wholeness
