Sweet Victory When we come in from the cold, To this hall kept warm By our big wood stove with A fire dancing in it’s belly, After a day of difficult accomplishments, We taste the sweetness of having Pushed through every rising obstacle Until our goal for the day was reached. Victory is ours— Not over another or circumstances, But our own mind’s whining Resistance which always wants To quit, to delay, to not do The tasks this day needs and demands To keep our lives flowing ever Upwards towards our highest good And the highest good of all. Sweet victory is ours, As we now take rest, With waves of blissful Gratitude sweeping through Our minds, hearts and souls For a day of doing impossible things, For caring enough with a will to now arrive At the end of work well done.

Soaring Salvation After so many days and nights Of living breath by breath, Always on the edge of Utter exhaustion and sleeplessness… Tonight I am fully resurrected And energized with divine power Arising from praying through to attain The presence of my sweet Lord within. I have risen from my warm bed, Suited up in work clothes and boots And come out into the frozen night To take up the work calling me. It is sheer joy to return to Having a crystal clear and radiant mind And this aging body running now At full capacity and power To do whatever needs to be done. Tonight this work is worship, This work is prayer, This work is supreme meditation And blissful soaring salvation. December 16, 2021

The Coming Storm A cool wind blows in. Whispering of another coming storm, That is wanted and welcomed by All living beings from grass to coyotes Who live in this wide valley Surrounded by mountain peaks. I choose to celebrate Every coming change, For I know all that comes, Whether pleasurable or hard to bear Is sent by the divine to teach And train and lead me Along the highest way And the greatest good As I rise and spread my Wings to soar up, over and Through this and Every other coming storm.
