Life is a Walking

 

Life is a walking;  

Serenity, a flowing river. 

Love, a great expanse;  

Spirit, a burning flame. 

The universe, eternal motion.

Lessons from a Child

Oh darling, precious one, I wish I could save the world for you. I wish I could slay all the dragons and conquer the armies. I wish I could feed the masses, help the injured, and heal the sick. I wish I could plant the trees, clean the water, and protect the animals for you. I wish I could make peace and give everyone a home.  I wish I could keep pain from ever touching you. I wish I could hold your heart in my hands and make sure no one breaks it. I wish I could put your mind at peace. But you don’t need saving, do you? You’re the hero of your own story. Slayer of dragons, healer, peace-maker. You are wise elder and warrior, You are freedom-fighter and friend.  How in awe I am of you, my darling; your strength, your hope, your love.  You bring intuition and curiosity to all you do.

Do words storm across your atmosphere, Like thunderclouds promising rain? Or swarm, like locusts, Invading your mind’s peace? Can you create a mosaic from the fragments of a shattered soul? Do you feel the urge, to flutter like a bird; Or sway like an old rocking chair? To stare into the great void of existence and fo...

What Makes a Home?

What makes a home?  Secrets, an old blanket pulled from the closet.  Comfort, cuddling on the couch.  Lies, the mess hidden behind a closed door.  Healing, a shower at the end of the day.  Hurts, those old clothes you can’t seem to part with.  Growth, ivy climbing the walls.  Shame, the blackest of rooms.  Stories, whispered in the air.  Peace, tucking your child in at night.  Acceptance, fresh laundry on the line.  Joy, children running the halls.  A clock, measuring the passage of time.  Home.  Where you can speak truth into your sacred imperfection.  Where you can ground in your beautiful authenticity.  Where you can rest your precious soul.
