Come in and sat
Take the practice slowly
Not to worry
I will watch it all
~
I will watch the time
I will watch your pose
I will remember to bring you back
I will listen for the chime
~
The chime from the mother
Ringing in my head
I will wait for it
And let you know when
~
You can just breathe there
Be there in peace
With nothing to worry over
I will watch the time
Full river rising
up to meet the sturdy banks
very windy day
Bright blue sky arise
crisp clear a light wind blows
spring waiting beneath
We need a world of peace
Of connection
Of understanding that
We are one
~
We need a world of love
Where people reach out
To one another
With full and open hearts
~
Everybody must be taught
To acknowledge the differences
Release the sufering
Accept life deeply
~
We need God’s love
Open your heart
Feel it here now
Full of healing light
~
We have the capacity
For this love and light filled world
Surround us in the light
Fill this world with peace.

Boston, April 15, 2012.
Awaken grey sky
Cold wet still needs sun shining
Bird chirps new promise
Glowing a sunrise
Purple and pink a brightness
Orange sun rises
Long cold winter
snow, ice, rain , wind, sleet
Move into mud, thick and sticky
Gray skies
~
Where has the sun gone
Somewhere there is green
Elsewhere there are flowers
Not here
~
A small green shoot pushes up
From the dark cold ground
A force stronger, immense
Stronger then me
~
Then another and another
Pushing skyward
Moving boundaries
Landscape changing
~
Moving toward heaven
Reaching for sunlight
The flower emerges
Blossoms into Spring
I thought it was an eagle
At first
Grandly flying by
Oh, wait …
~
Look harder now
See what I can see
Maybe it’s just a gull
Betraying of my eyes
~
Breathe and notice
The river gone out to sea
The blue, blue sky
The fading of the day
~
She flies by again
Graceful and giant
Huge wing span
Oh, Osprey
~
So clear now
And I can let go
Let go of desire for eagle
And embrace the osprey
Eyes shut
Timer on
Observing breath
Tears roll down
~
Accept the opening
Heart beating
Tears as blessings
Trickle down
~
Retrun
Aum Shanti Aum
Peace love joy ease gratitude
Return
~
Cry and wipe tears
Cry and feel the heart
Feel gentley
Accept openly
~
Stand tall, like a mountain.
Be the mountain, unmovable, solid granite, always there from beginning to end.
Be the mountain, supporting the trees and holding people on their path upward.
~
Stand tall against wind, rain, snow, blazing sun.
Stand tall against change, fear, anxiety, depression.
Be the mountain, feel your strength.
Feel your strength that always was and always will be.
Feel your strength as you stand still and rock solid, alone.
~
Be the mountain, the always was and always will be.
