Morning 11/10/17

Rested and awake yet
what do you think of?
What concerns you in
the earliest hours of day?

We can't escape the past recurring in our minds
from time to time. Failure and success, it haunts
us all the same. Old relationships and friendships,
intimate moments, public embarrassments, the 
specter of our own past lives. Speaking for my-
self, I'll get lost in thought as my mind wanders
through these times. At times I am overjoyed and
other times I am left in grief at what has come to
pass. The even hand of this life gives us all our
share of grief and joy. 

The silence between the notes is where the heart
of all music is. 

The inner journey will always find a way to express
itself outwardly. 

To awaken and feel gratitude
To feel the presence of a thousand small miracles
that make possible every moment
In a restless world 
find peace and stillness within
 
Power of Light / Power of Life
Power of Life / Power of Light

Listening In

The gaze must turn inward
The path winds through our life
and mind and we must
follow that which leads us through
To be alive and mindful
of that which courses through us
that which propels us forward
To be more than the body
which holds us to this world
Seeking that which transcends
the self and gives life
to the unseen soul of us
I profess to be nothing more
than a student watching and
interacting with this life
I desire to be more compassionate
and understanding of others
I know this time is fleeting
and wish to nurture that
which matters most
To wake from sleep and
to fall into it is merely to
travel between worlds
I close my eyes and listen to
mother's voice as she heals me
Together in this place
We must grow together
Creation is life
