Into The Now Working intently to make Firewood while cold rain Falls and my body aches From day after day of hard and Heavy work which must be Done to make our living And keep our home fires Burning through this long wet winter, Caught up in the press Of the work, not seeing Anything but my hands moving As I split rounds of wood With a heavy maul, Until I noticed a puddle In the yard receiving Raindrops splashing down, Making ring after ring of circles And little waves on it’s Magical mirrored surface As if it were one of The oceans of the world. This one seeing of the beauty And mystery of nature Pulled me out of my cloudy mind Back into my true self And being fully here now In the sweet flow Of these precious moments.

Pregnant With Possibilities The whole night Stretches out in front of me— Like a mountain Waiting to be climbed, Like a song Waiting for my heart To bring it To life, Like a path winding Through the woods That can go anywhere I choose to go, Like this incarnation So pregnant with possibilities And powers given to Me to be fulfilled While I yet live. July 19,1990

In the School of Love and Joy I believe life is an ever upwards path, And that the best is yet ahead As I move out now to claim My full power in every Area of my life. I believe the purpose of life is To be love in the world, and To be constantly traveling higher in Consciousness through learning The simple pleasure and Practice of loving. My teachers are children and saints With child like hearts and everyone Brave enough to face Their own fearful darkness And unveil their own light. We are not born just to suffer While wondering why— I choose to use my pain In a way that enriches my life, Makes me more humble and Drives me closer to God. Now I train in the school of joy, Studying the subject of relationship And being in love and Facing all my fears that Come up to block greater love Until love itself breaks free And love becomes all I see. November 19, 1993
