TAKING THE WHEEL OF MY THOUGHTS Sitting in the tractor’s high seat, Watching wide winged birds above me Spiraling round and round Together in the stormy sky, This morning in the cold and wet, I am struggling to find my ground As my worried mundane mind tumbles Awry and almost beyond control… Yet, deep in my soul, My own inner light of love Still shines with glowing Awareness and higher consciousness— Like the skilled pilot I am learning to be I take the wheel of my thoughts, Spread my own inner wings And soar higher and higher On these tearing winds of storm Until I rise through all the dark And threatening clouds within and Join those birds in the simple joy of flight.

STEPPING OUT ON THE HOLY PATH As I suit up in heavy boots, Jeans, thick shirts and rain gear To go out into the cold and wet Rainstorm to spend the day Making firewood and doing whatever Needs to be done in flow— I am grateful to the divine And my own self for bringing Me here, to this time and place Where real Love grows Amid the incessant challenges Of our life which requires Me to always reach higher, To do my best in every situation, To learn how to share the light, To rise when I fall and To awaken when I become unaware, To step up and step out every day, Even when I do not feel like I want to, on this holy path Of simply being here now in this and Every arriving present moment, While seeking the way to higher ground And fulfilling my life’s sweet destiny.
