With Love and Gratitude

With Love and Gratitude

Dear Jean,

What you have embodied
from a very young age
is of a curious child
growing into a sage

With energy, humour
and love with a twist
Seeking out answers
to a very long list

So many teachers
Experiences too
Cultures to visit
Immersed in a few

Having gathered the wisdom
and the love that is life
you are generously sharing
and in others ignite

a passion for being
all that they can be
determined to contribute
and with all senses see

It is the time of co-creation
into a new world
The past has departed
Into the future we’re hurled

The chaos surrounds us
accelerating change
We hold all the puzzle pieces
The big picture rearranged

We join you in the journey
and are committed to find
our piece of the puzzle
so all can be combined

Thank you for your teachings
your sharing and love
You’ve flown into Aquarius
in the form of the Dove

a tribute to Dr. Jean Houston

Speak Easy

Speak Easy

Speak Easy
Feel into it
From your essence
Make words of it

The expression, the impression
are painted with words
that sing out to the cosmos
like a chorus of birds

When Illness Prevails

When Illness Prevails

When illness prevails
One must lower one’s sails
Maybe throw out a sea anchor
or tie up at a berth

And as one is forced into a rest state
and lets go of the calendar date
there may be some discomfort
yet peace in the process

When illness happens rarely
to contrast sometimes unfairly
to a state of action and thriving
it may fuel the reviving

What causes our illness
our fevers or chilledness
may remain a mystery
or may go down in history

We may recognize the source of
an imbalance then the course of
a spin out of control –
how away we did roll

The peace and the quiet
allows all to settle
we try it
and balance is restored
and the lesson not ignored

One returns then perhaps cautiously
to an existence of generosity
now reminded the value of
precious time, rest and love
