The Between


The space in the between
Is home of the Divine
Where ether and atom
Forever intertwine

For the presence of God
Has no possible gap
As expressed through each one
Though form feel like a trap

And so Life emerges
From the Mind of the All
Unfolding in beauty
With the rise and the fall

And when I feel lonely
I need simply recall
The presence of the One
Is eminent in all

We Can Do This


We’ve burned the contract, abandoned the plan
Where fear and hate reigned, trust and love will stand
A new way begins where led with the heart
And rising above to see every part

Acting from the whole, not separation
Heart beating as one with every nation
We turn our eyes to healing our brothers
Put down our old swords, bury our druthers

The pathway there requires that we each see
Our nod to fear individually
And holding hands, yet one by one by one
Release the fears until they are undone

It’s time my sisters, let’s wait no longer
Where once was fear and hate, love is stronger
So come, come with the new way of being
Choose only the good and pure for seeing

It is fear alone that bars love’s flowing
Fear’s time is done, love pure is now growing
Eschew all fear, washing all in love true
We can do this together, me and you

The View

ever looked up at the mountain
deflated. there’s so far to go
trace the path before you
but there’s only so far that it shows

ever had legs that wobble
too weak to go on. disdain
ever wanted to just stop 
take shelter from the rain

ever wished it could be over
all the climbing straight uphill
wishing you could just rest
sick of exploiting your will

when you get there take heart
(‘cuz i promise you it’s coming)
stop. turn around. look down
the view you’ll see is stunning

the way home

When stillness calls
and busy falls away
When errors fade 
and joy fills up the day

When no more thought
is spent on what’s gone
When night has passed
and clear is the dawn

When all that is
is allowed just to be
When terror dreams
are transformed into glee

Here is the storm
quieted in the mind
Found is the peace
that’s been there all the time

Shiny Pieces


Not one 
is keeper
of the Whole
Yet each is a
reflection of It,
shining in 
colored 
brilliance
from each 
unique aspect

Shine bright, 
my sister-brother
and share what 
you uniquely are
In joining our collective lights,
we come closer to seeing the Whole
