THE BEST IS YET AHEAD
It is true that my days
Are going by, one after another,
Into the abyss of the past
Of glittering memories
And lingering sorrows.
I know more days
Have gone than remain
In the golden vault of
This life’s timeline,
And yet, I still say,
With a full and happy heart—
“The best is yet ahead!”
Because I have learned to live
In this very present moment,
Where all good things are found,
I have no regrets over the past
And no anxieties about
The coming times.
I simply live in
This here and now—
Grateful for this body
Which still breathes
And this heart which
Still beats to the melody
Of love’s sweet delight.
Even though
I know even the brightest
Day must turn into night,
And that
Everything is always changing
Beyond my ability to control,
I still soar on my spirit’s
Eternal and joyous flight,
Fully alive and loving each
New moment as it arrives,
Still saying every day and night,
With a full and happy heart—
“My time is now!” and
“The best is yet ahead!”

THE JEWEL IN THE LOTUS
All the challenges, difficulties and painful experiences
Which arise out of the dark unbidden—
I am using them all to polish the jewel
Of my inner Self which longs to
Radiate bliss and Love and expansive consciousness,
And become a force of powerful goodness,
Pure Love and divine light in this pain filled world.
