Travelers
We traveled trillions of miles to come hereMaybe we experienced a bit of fear We journey through the womb to a bright placeThe familiar voice reveals a beautiful face Innocent, helpless, needing protectionFeeling love, abundant affection Learning, tasting, ever growingMountains, valleys, rivers flowing Climbing steep, dangerous roadsJagged cliffs, heavy loads Traveling to awe-inspiring placesSeeing many…

The crystal morning appears I don’t feel any fears My spirit explodes with desire All the good and true burns like fire All the beautiful music from all time Flows through my cells, becoming mine Sublime images transport my view Renewing what is old, into new Words of wisdom suddenly appear Now realizing, they were…

The Empty Well
No words are coming this week The well is dry as a boneMaybe because I am emptyThe surface appears swept awayLike the pioneer’s deserted cabinWith tumbleweeds rolling by The constant never-ending droughtHas leeched the hopes of recoveryToo many days of painToo many disappointing roadsThe roof is finally caving inOver my head There may have been…

Change and Rain
We have such a strange relationship with change. Leaving our mother’s womb was probably the biggest change of our earthly lives, but we don’t have a memory of it. Did we feel some terror upon leaving the security of that miraculous abode? Now, we leave her again to get on this large, long, yellow vehicle…
