Hope Comes Round
...it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us."
Hebrews 6:18
A parent encouraged and advised me
to stay on top when testing the waters.
People, assignments, schedules -
God's Solution - wind and weight beneath my wings.
A sound teacher is someone
who imparts the

I taught my little daughter
I taught my little daughter
how to ford the raging water.
And I taught my little son
how to calm a storm not yet begun.
Just so they would know ~ how it is done.

SMALL RECALLS
Each morning You lift Your gleaming golden crown
And awaken me with a divine and pristine light.
So now I thank You Lord for allowing me around,
Relaxing in Your comfort for this long night.
You give me strength to step bravely on the way,
Remembering the Good Samaritans in my life.
I plod on a path of pleasant feelings about

Dreams
Every wonder where they come from?
I’m just glad that I still get some.
Sometimes they’re pleasant and seem good,
sometimes vague and misunderstood.
At times they’re funny or bizarre,
like riding on a shooting star.
Often it seems they’re teaching me,
past life lessons I didn’t see.
Sometimes one seems like dejavu,
in another time I was you.
Then there was one, I wasn’t

The Mentor
"The more in science we advance,
The more do we grow," you say;
Still, Nature's love, abundance
Forgive us all in every way.
She lessons us to endure
Just like the green grasses do;
We, humans, can't all ensure;
We fail to remain pure and true.
Time's supposed to take all away;
She teaches all how to accept;
Rise and fall, the night and the

Gratitude still in my heart
My early childhood was great, I was the first born.
My mother had five children after me so I mostly remember
spending lots of time with my doting grandmother
who kept me busy learning to sew & knit before I could read & write.
I had such enthusiasm and benefited from tons of attention.
Creativity was a game to me

The Essence Of Teaching
Teach them how to discern and learn,
Don’t leave them helpless to crash and burn.
Teaching them just content, they learn it your way.
Teach them the process of learning today,
You give them a lifetime of learning every day.

The Sungazing
At the hour of 10:10, and again at 15:15,
I stood—barefoot—upon Mother Earth.
And I gazed.
Not with the eyes of flesh alone,
but with the soul’s unblinking truth.
There—before me—was Ra, the Eternal Flame,
not merely a star,
but the whisperer of secrets,
the awakener of the sleeping god within.
The light poured into me—
not warmth,
but memory,
echoes of a time before forgetting.
He spoke

PERFECT TEACHER
The perfect teacher
is not the one who teaches you
to add and subtract.
The perfect teacher
is not the one who explains
how you should write.
The perfect teacher
gives tools to feel,
grow, think, and love.
My perfect teacher
show me how to do it,
I will remember her

Learning On The Path Of Life
Whichever pathway you decide to choose,
They’ll always be lessons and lots of clues.
On every pathway, lessons will exist,
Finding truth will require that you persist.
Walking a path, does not learning assure.
Takes more than presence, learning to secure.
From your doubt you ask, “why aren’t I learning?”
Lacking desire, the internal burning.
In the present, let the path

Chambers of the Mind
In chambers of the mind, we store each day,
Each lesson wrapped in wonder, fear, or joy.
What matters most will never fade away.
The smell of chalk, the light at morning's ray,
First bicycle, first book, beloved toy
In chambers of the mind, we store each day.
Not facts alone, but how they came to stay:
The teacher's smile, the moment

Song of the Thrush
Oh mirror of my soul where have you gone,
now that the forest wind has set you free?
Days grown long, yet the same sun tumbles on,
as a quiet Song thrush sings back to me.
Radio croons a song, in silky drawl..
of latticed roses in proper pink dress.
Meadow melody sung in summer squall,
and life's mystery left only to
