Mother Earth shared her concern
For the lonely existence
And wayward actions
Of her restless children
With the older members
Of her solar family

Paths I, viii

Awakening to the morning sun
   We accompany the birds and sing
   Our thankfulness for light of day
   And render this our offering. . .
Humble gifts of selfless action
   Toward a world in harmony.
      While seeking love and brotherhood
      Along the dimly lighted way
      We cast aside evil for good
   Finding actual Reality.
The quest is made with devotion
   For the future Humanity
   To evolve its true Identity.

For the New Born

Early morning unfurls
Initial rays of sun,
To touch and feel our world
From distant horizon.

O Newly Born!
Conceived of Love,
Into life you come
This eternal morn.

May you reach the stars
In an abundance of light,
Being as free as you are
Until sunset becomes night.

Listening Point

Pend d’Oreille, remember the time
Before time when in the womb 
Of your mother Lake Missoula
You heard her tell of the upheaval
That violently birthed these mountains;
When horizontal layers of rock
Instantly pitched to angles
That today disorient my eye;
Appearing to fall directly
Into their own reflection.

“Cherish each moment”

Cherish each moment
In the presence of petals
Unfolding rose red

Love patiently residing
At the Center of Being

Innocence Revisited

The crumbling of our protective walls
Leaves us standing innocently naked,
Opened to Love, vulnerable,
And immersed solely in the moment;
No yesterdays and no tomorrows,
Only the Indefinable, Eternal Now.

Feeling the flower grow,
We suddenly approach God,
Becoming One.

A Prodigal Poet’s Plea

O Muse, are you here?  I traveled
Many miles to you.  On bended
Knees I beg forgiveness.  No more
Phone calls or letters written.  No
Distance between us.  Together
We can quickly cross frozen ground
And safely return to our home 
Before darkness leads us astray.
