When I gave beggar a coinA beggar grabbed my hand and cried for some spare change.
At first, I offered him a sweet memory of food or a tasteless sip of divine water, but he asked for money.
I had a heavy coin and gave it to him.
I wondered why he took only the money, and when he saw it, he immediately...

ALREADY GONE
We did not notice at first—
the small rebellions of memory:
a forgotten kettle on the stove,
the absurd claim that Tuesday had vanished,
names reshuffled as if in a deck too often played.
The mind does not fall—it recedes,
a shoreline eroded not by storms
but by silent, persistent tides.
Each day an abrasive grain,
each night a hush over once-luminous thought.
She remained...

LoveLooking for love may not succeed
Learning to love may help indeed
Letting love flow, may be the seed
Lift another by doing a loving deed
Love others first, take the lead
Lady or gent, please do not plead
Lasting love is drawn to a need

The Salt of the Earth, the SilentFor Those Who Hold the Field… the Keepers of Resonance
To be used at spoken dedications, at gatherings, at endings,
or where remembering is needed most.
The Salt of the Earth, the Silent
They walk without thunder
They pass without name
They mend what was broken
Before there is blame.
They carry the sorrows
Too quiet to scream
And bury lost hopes
With the roots...

The BargainGenerally, I am on
the Clean Side; but,
garden soil is my
rich exception --
I wallow in it,
a piggy for the scent
and feel --
Sort of like, training
wheels on bicycles
are for sissies,
glove-less, I dip and
knead; saturate and
soak. Claw! Compact!
Sniff the compost,
deeply investing with
bacteria: praising, composing
a reverent hymn, How gloriously
Efficient Is Nature!~ our
Mother recycling, wasting
nothing, reusing...

Morning Thoughts Of A CaregiverLord, grant me peace within this day,
make each thought be undefiled.
Let your light only illuminate my way,
so when stress comes I won’t be riled.
Sometimes I forget that I’m not alone,
then I see your hand reaching out to me.
As today’s issues make themselves known,
I’ll instantaneously think of thee.

Come to the Waters: Knowledge of TruthThirst does not have to remain suppressed
A continuous flow of fulfilling hydration
Faithful concrete promises
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts"
Reminder for days where my mind attacks
However, what is true is that I was made by You
Detailed in creation, carpentry beyond worldly comprehension
Empathy combines with intention
Realizing the similarities the Father places within us
Spirit...

Change OneIt's one thing life is full of, change
It is not enough we soar thirty century

Ranges of Scenarios
Has anyone played this game of tug of war?
Ideals, Overthinking, Sanity, Insanity.
Energetic vibrations of six six-cylinders of emotions:
Fear, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, Surprise, Happiness.
I choose not to dance with reckless behavior.
We've all had both light and darkness inside of us.
A game of chance, also a game of choices, choose
Discerningly.

Freaky Friday switching partners
First person to know our thoughts
Faith in each other when times get tough
Forever on our minds
Fearless when the other one needs help
From another mother my sister or brother

Holding you it's not impossible
But I inhale when I look with my eyes
When I exhale I am not surprised
Because it's you whom I long to hold
I am holding you in my thoughts
I am holding you in my dreams
