Journal entry
From my journal
Every outward journey
is a journey towards the self
a line from one of my poems.
When the dust settles
life is glorious
most of the time
and we complicate it
by too much wanting our own…

Embrace
Embrace what you do not like
Caress what is difficult
From what you resist
and what disturbs you
the greatest lessons
can be learned.
From your detractors
and those who despise you
those who do not get you
Give them peace
Give them love
Do…

Rise up and greet the day
With music as with life
one should not fear
going into the unknown
one should not be diminished
by anger
expressed towards them
or someone
opposed to ones idea.
One must go
for the difficult
not be afraid
of what is emotionally challenging
one…

I love you too
I love you too.
I too am going through
rough waters
which forces me
to live the poems
and not just
write them
which is a great challenge.
When it is dark
when life feels oppressive
when…

Off the top of my heart…
Happiness is possible in this life
if we open up to it
it does not come from doing or pursuing
achieving or recognition
it comes always from Grace
from Divine love
a voice ever subtle and gentle
whispers to the heart
today is the day…

All those who have wronged me
All those who have wronged me
or i feel have wronged me
I forgive them all
I release my hold on what they did
or i think they did
for all who I have hurt
wounded
made angry
or annoyed
I ask for forgiveness
but will love
even
if it does not come…

Loneliness
There is a loneliness
you can not share
that does not go away
its symphony
is muted pain
like the hush
of a trumpet
underneath everything it sits
in the dark
that no one faces.
A place no one can go to
in you
that you can no describe
where you…

Inspiration never leaves us where it finds us
Tenderness and listening
are essential
for the creative act to occur.
This is what i believe-
Tortured souls
pass through our lives ;
and they can drag us down
if we are not aware
or alert.
We all get caught up in events
and circumstances
and…

The pulse of the poet
Inspiration is your practice
tenderness is your path
sorrow is your teacher
sweetness is your celebration
attention is your awareness
that everything is now
limitations fall like leaves from a tree
lifted by winds of change
wonder is the daily…

Mortality
I know we are all mortal
Sometimes I think
the root of all unhappiness
is the self
because the more we give
and express generosity
of spirit
and think of others
in a genuine
the better we feel
When i think of all i lack
I feel empty
when i think…
