Optimism is reflected in many areas of life.
Many birds in their fantastic migrations demonstrate an amazing optimism, traveling thousands of miles to distant shores, almost literally flying by faith, as it were, ignoring all dangers, unbesieged by doubts.
There is no hesitancy, but the sure flight. Birds do not question whether or not the weather will [...]

Mary Oliver & Wendell Berry – A Found Poem
Posted in Inspiration, Life, Mary Oliver, Poetry, tagged Beauty, Joy, Poems, Prayer, Wendell Berry on October 2, 2009 | 5 Comments »
If there is such a thing as poetic license, I am certainly taking it now. I have created what is known as a ‘found’ poem. Up until now, this poem has not existed. I have selected a couple of lines each from eight different poems and two different authors. I chose Mary Oliver and Wendell [...]

There are many things in life
that will catch your eye,
but only a few will catch your heart …
Pursue those.
~Anonymous~
What catches your heart today?
What if you did something every day
which catches your heart and makes
your heart sing?
What if you set aside time for just that
every day?
Does it sound like a recipe for inner joy?
It does just [...]

Shout, shout, let it all out….
What a great song that was from Tears for Fears. The next line is:
these are the things I can do without, come on, I’m talking to you,
come on.
I’m changing it to:
shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I *can’t* do without,
come on, I’m talking to you, come [...]
Blossom

In April
the ponds
open
like black blossoms,
the moon
swims in every one;
there’s fire
everywhere: frogs shouting
their desire,
their satisfaction. What
we know: that time
chops at us all like an iron
hoe, that death
is a state of paralysis. What
we long for: joy
before death, nights
in the swale — everything else
can wait but not
this thrust
from the root
of the body. What
we know: we are more
than blood [...]
Day 7 Friendly Beautiful Peaceful
Posted in Abraham Hicks, Field Center, Happiness, Inspiration, Life, Mindfulness, Rumi, tagged Joy, Well Being on March 16, 2009 | 1 Comment »
What is life like on Day 7 of my consciousness process regarding being mindful
towards what is friendly, beautiful, peaceful to self and others?
It’s a place where you write poetry
where you lose yourself inside this soft world
the outer and the inner
you fall in love
you forgive yourself for all the tiny judgments
of self that ever said you [...]
Ordinary Miracles

I have often heard it said: take time to smell the roses. Take time is an
interesting phrase, isn’t it? As if we could take it, steal it, lose it or the many
other things we associate with “time”.
And actually I digress because what I really want to talk about is not the roses
and not time but [...]
