Let's keep this whole thing simple
          What do you think of that?
Some folks overcomplicate it
          Why would we do that?
It all boils down to one thing
          Would we even want to add more?

Let's sum up this simplicity
     in a single word
     in a single syllable 

     LOVE

And so we learn
that showing up
and living
in the moment
is a deep spiritual practice.

We take more walks
and give more smiles.

We are slow and deliberate
when we find occasions to speak.

We hold hands and hearts and our
eyes fill with tears as we learn of
the pain of the other.

We experience the complexity of life
beginning to unravel as we simplify.

At this moment
this is
our deep
spiritual practice.

What If / Heart Opening / 4.12.16

It's the small stuff.
The extra step.
One more word.
The last kiss.

Insignificant.
Inconsequential.

Dew drops.
Frost crystals.
Breeze in the branches.

Time stolen
to notice
It's the small stuff.

What If / Heart Opening / 4.11.16

I sat incarcerated in a cell
of my own creation.

Self doubt shackled me
While I lined windows with bars
holding the opinions of others.

I sat waiting for liberators 
as I served a self induced life sentence.

A small beam of light cast a shadow on my perceptions.

Paradigm shift.
Unshackled.
Windows opened.
Doors unlatched.
​
Guests arrive.
Music plays.
The party of life begins.

The moonlight
dancing on the hillside
casting shadows of fear
on all my plans.

There is a mysterious magic
when the moon is full and round
and pregnant with inspiration.

There is an intersection
where in a moment
daring to believe
all is possible
is
the
only 
sensible
​thought.

What If / Heart Opening / 4.8.16

Potential--
An unopened package of seeds,
A bush whacking adventure,
A new baby.

Potential
meets with
detours,
stormy weather,
unexpected news,
a restless heart.

And in that moment
potential
makes a choice:
     Freeze
               or
                 Retreat
                            or
                              Advance.

And from that energetic flash,
potential becomes static or kinetic--
an entire garden meadow blooms,
a whole new way is forged,
an entire life is lived.

Amidst
the dirt,
the rocks,
the debris

There is
one
unobtrusive
hint
of green,
of life,
of hope.

What If / Heart Centering 4.6.16

Picture
Diving deep
into the pool
of tears.

Uncertain of the result.

I might be dragged 
to the bottom
and
held under
motionless.

A mixture of hope and fear
act as a
super powered elixir.

Propelling my
body and spirit
toward the surface.

Breaking the tension
at the moment 
when daylight
illuminates
the night.

I am enveloped 
in a glowing aura
of renewed enthusiasm
for life.

This is a month long series of self discovery and heart centering via poetry and art created fresh each day.  Join me to read or create for a day, a week, or the whole month.  What If. . .

Did not want to leave,

Thrown from a moving vehicle,

Battered,

Caught a glimpse of daylight,

Gratitude walks in the bight glow of toda
y.
