Life
islands in the stream…
I sit…
I sit.
I breathe.
I sit with patience.
I sit with impatience.
I sit with an open heart.
sometimes begrudgingly.
I sit and let go.
over and over again.
I sit with this life as an offering.
I sit with my vow to not harm,
waiting with compassion
for the Ocean’s next wave…

only beauty…
Taking a walk
I saw
a wildflower.
Not knowing its name
I saw
its beauty only.

be like water…
In the struggle
between the stone and water,
in time,
the water wins.

Japanese Proverb
Metta…
~ Metta Prayer ~
May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings awaken to
the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.

resolute…
speak up…
empty, i am full…
Only one thing
made him happy
and now that
it was gone
everything
made him happy
~
Leonard Cohen
empty,
i am able to receive
the fullness
of life.

our lives…
“Our lives are like the plants, floating along the water’s edge, illumined by the moon.”
~ Ryokan
held.
carried.
we reflect
the beauty
of this life
given
for a time.
and then
given back
just as easily
and all too quickly.
