Letting It Fall

She is walking on water
Leaves falling on her hair
Great blessings, she says
Are coming my way
Sun rays touching her gently
She glows, and she knows
A swirl of light surrounds her
She is not afraid of her power
The past was her teacher
She now knows her strength
She is walking on water
Leaves falling on her hair
I am letting it fall, she says
Letting the old fall away
Her heart filled with sparkle
She feels, and she shows
A force moving her forward
Leaves touching her feet
She now glows anew

 

Let it fall, too.

A Good Heart

“A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.”
Robert Bulwer-Lytton

Sipping a delicious tea
But then turning on the TV
A moment of calm
Transformed into chaos
So many bad news
People hurting
A world lacking empathy
Spreading coldness
Everywhere you look
So easy it is, isn’t it
To feel disheartened
To throw in the towel
Giving up on love
But please don’t
I beg, I plead
There’s so much more
Than you can see
There is sweetness
Kindness and connection
You can dig deeper
And feel it for yourself
That a good heart
Is your superpower
Guiding you always
To remember your values
And honor your light
Whispering always
“Trust me”

 


Your heart has so, so much power.

Happy Mind


“Whatever living beings there may be — feeble or strong, long, stout, or of medium size, short, small, large, those seen or those unseen, those dwelling far or near, those who are born as well as those yet to be born — may all beings have happy minds.” (The Buddha, Karaniya Metta Sutta)

 

Treat yourself well
Enjoy the purr of a kitty cat
Feel the softness of your pillow
And the warmth of your bed
Treat yourself with kindness
We all make mistakes
Our worth is not at stake
We are loved beyond measure
Treat yourself with care
Tend to your needs
Nurture your heart
And enjoy a Happy Mind

 

 

Embrace all of you.
