“Cherish each moment”

Cherish each moment
In the presence of petals
Unfolding rose red

Love patiently residing
At the Center of Being

Paths I, iii

                
Notice the solely unique in each,
   For the preciousness of every one
   Is special and rare, a beauty
   To behold in the noonday sun;
As pebbles along the shore reach
   Out, hoping to hear another call. . .
      An individual striving for name,
      To be part of the whole, yet free,
      Quite different though of the same.
   The unity shared before the fall
Is ours to feel, learn and teach. . .
   Seeing One in many, large in small,
   We grow to find the ALL in ALL.

“The chilling vision”

The chilling vision
Shows seasons turned up side down
And peace into war

If the voters authorize
The current coup d’etat

“Dreams built on sand”
```
Dreams built on sand
Crumble before our eyes
And we cannot understand
Why it is so. . . .

Dreams cascade
Like waterfalls
From a sky of rock.

From the Center of Being I

Centering each and every thing
From winging bird or grain of sand
To the largest galactic sun
Is an invisible point of Light
Connecting and communicating
With every other point of Light
Throughout the entire universe

A Dream

I am with Child
I sense its presence
I feel its movement
I know its thoughts

Finally I understand
The Cosmic Child is within me
Restlessly waiting to be Birthed
Into the Light of a New Day

Paths IA, iv

Whenever the soul’s descent ceases
   The building process can begin
   To revive the inner strength lost
   When mortal darkness grew within.
With hope commences the release 
   From our soul’s rebirthing desire
      And the appeal for earthly gain,
      Which was purchased at any cost
      And whose pleasures reaped only pain.
   Sown seeds of hope help to inspire
Our growing faith for the peace
   On earth that every soul requires
   When climbing paths ever higher.

Bring new life

Birthing II

With each new contraction chaos
Further shakes a society
Overpopulated with fear
And addicted to the image
Of a glorious history
Seen as manifest destiny

Unwilling to wake from this dream
Some attempt to halt the coming
Of something beyond their control
And ability to understand
