Cosmic Opportunity

cosmic-shores-of-the-subconscious-dawid-michalczyk   
When we walk
upon the shores
of a strange land
there is an apprehension
a keen awareness

It is the quickening
of our senses
into a single point
a narrowing
of focus

We place ourselves
in a state of limitedness
of being not fully present
of defensiveness

This is the moment
of realization
in which
we can open ourselves

Allowing the brilliance
and power that we are
to fully evolve
into the newness

To take on the energies
as they present themselves
and move into the unknown

Uncertainty

Tenderness and Uncertainty by Evgeny Makarov    

Uncertainty

A precious moment
Of uncertainty…

Casts a shadow of doubt
To be faced and overcome

Each one is a gift…

Truth in disguise
Laid before us

An opportunity
To choose again.

Philip Wesley - "The Approaching Night"

But who in the approaching night
cannot feel the shadows dancing
calling forth a dream like mind
to play as children, hide and seek
before the darkness swallows
shadows, dancers, children, dreams

Full Moon Solace



There is a solace
In the rise of the full moon
A tender caress

Blessing each of us
With renewal of Passion
Love and Devotion

Walk With Me Now

Sunset Photo – Kathleen Mary Ruth Everson 8/4/2010



Walk with me now
as we turn away
from the light of day

Let us remember
the joy and warmth
we have been blessed with

Let us hold hands
in the darkness
and know that we are not
in the shadows

For they too
only exist in the Light.

Paradise

Photo - Unknown Source



PARADISE

In our search for paradise

we forget to open our hearts
looking for something
we cannot see

we forget to feel the vibration
of the music
we cannot hear

paradise the eternal song
surrounds us
in loving refrains

lifting us out of these bodies
caressing us tenderly

so precious we are
.... her children

A Melting Vigil

photo by sixteentoomany




A Melting Vigil

Always keeping vigil,
heart open – receiving…

At the ready, to welcome
the seemingly vast,
yet tiny portal.

That, One Moment,
rising up from within
a flicker of Light,

Expanding in brightness
until it reflects us all,
no separation, no need,
no suffering, no fear

Melting away
the wax figurine…

Revealing our treasure…

Consciousness…
Immortal Awareness.

March1st Thought

3/1/11 York, Maine - CRB   



While sitting at my kitchen table eating my mid-day meal I was looking out my window. This wonderful view captured me and engaged me to go and retrieve a note pad and write.
It was the contrast of the Maple tree against the sky and the promise it held of change that inspired me. 

MARCH MAPLE TREE

Delicate branches
Rising up to greet the blue sky
Still barren but hopeful

Roots frozen
Not able to see
The Sun’s rising path

Waiting for the warmth
To send it’s message
Of welcome

Welcome to a new
Season of Growth
As the snow recedes
