You Do Not Have To Choose


“Feeling at peace, however fragilely, made it easy to slip into the visionary end of the dark-sight. The rose shadows said that they loved the sun, but that they also loved the dark, where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth. The roses said: You do not have to choose. ” (Robin McKinley)

A subtle balance

So refined

So mysterious 

We are a dance

Of opposites  

A subtle balance 

So perfect

So unique


Bottomless


“When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it’s bottomless.”  (Pema Chodron)


When you give your love
Your create a new link
A new path for life to flow
A new way for you to be
Trust what comes from within
Your heart is not a cup
It is an endless well
One that only gets deeper and deeper
With each new link
With each new path
With each new way to be
Your heart is not a cup
It is a bottomless design
One that only gets deeper and deeper

Obstacles

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.” (Henry Ford)

You dream and you imagine
And you wake up, and sip your coffee
You go in, and you go out
And in the midst of all this balance
You stay on course, yes
You keep your thoughts on the rise, yes
The pull is strong
To persevere
To reach
Yes
