Here she sits
On the start of a brand new year
Just a little work in progress
Both a small part of the universe and all of the universe
Wishing for a peaceful loving heart
Stuck sometimes in the clinging and longing
For more, more, more, more
The list spins around in her mind
More friends, money, space, belongings, love
As loneliness and heartache creep in
She must know the only way out is in and through
Breathe, observe, feel
Connect deeply to the heart and gratitude
Mourn the heartache of loss and attachment or aversion
The human condition
And walk closer to the shining bright light
Of abundant and eternal love
Walk into that light of love
Reflect that light out toward others
Share the heart space more deeply
Than ever before.
