Challenging
But worth it
It’s rewarding
At a price
Gratifying,
Yet great effort
This funny thing called life
With another

What if
In response to perceived injustice
The universe
Expected us
To resist judgment
Emanate light
Love
What if
Our collective energies
Were so directed
Miracles.
That’s what.
“Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
~ excerpted from”The Summer Day“
by Mary Oliver
I will not falter,
Crater or fail.
I have big plans
I AM not frail.
I shall prevail.
~
I plan
To live big, know my mind, speak my truth
Love beyond limits, be both proper, uncouth
I plan to embrace opportunity, chance
Plan to create family, joy and romance
I plan to live long, or perhaps short
Really ~ who knows?
But regardless
I plan
♥
To embrace,
Knowing
I chose
This
Way
This wild and precious wonder.
No regrets
In the garden I AM reminded
My role is to love
My charge ~ to accept
When I embrace my divinity, I recognize my humanity.
In my humanity, I recognize yours
Francis was right…
Console ~ Understand ~ Love ~ Give ~ Forgive
Then move on
Move up
Toward Light
Lightness
Enlightenment
As it was alway meant
To Be
I AM currently reading The Reluctant Saint ω The Life of Francis of Assisi by Donald Spoto. It is, indeed, enlightening.
Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred let me bring Your Love. Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord. Where there is doubt true faith in you. Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love with all my heart…

Pine needle tears
Wash away my fears
Open up my grieving soul
To love
For I AM weary
