A Life of Creative Power and Grace
The night holds a powerful presence,
offering a sheltering darkness
to allow us a chance
to sense the light within us,
shining out
like an inner sun.
The moon and the sun
witness to each other
giving each a chance to shine.
The circling earth
discovers the wonder
of the changing seasons.
The nightingale sings at night
because his heart is so full
of the beauty of the rose,
and his song
prepares the way for love
to blossom into layers
of roseness
like our hearts.
When our life is a relationship
with a loving presence,
creation itself
becomes a friend,
a beautiful companion
and guide
for our unfolding.
Life is a grace
celebrating each new form,
nurturing and smiling
upon its becoming.
Each has its turn,
returning to the earth
to reappear in new colors
to lift its face
to the sun
again and again!
We are each particles
of One life
shifting and changing
and falling into
patterns
rearranging as we go,
changing costumes
and colors
and language!
Looking with eyes of love
we recognize ourselves
in each and every life,
and feel the
sacredness and beauty
of every face!
We celebrate the wonder
of variation,
young and old, dark and light,
tall and short,
narrow and wide,
thin and thick,
happy and sad,
new and familiar!
Why is a bird more glorious
than an ant?
Why is a butterfly
more amazing than a worm?
Life is a chance to rejoice
and creation unfolds
as we walk,
inviting us to dance
in this garden!
Feel the power and beauty
of these moments,
the simplicity
and grace contained
in a single day!
Fall in love
with the possibilities
of an open heart.
Life is a love affair
with a million faces and millions
of moments,
of laughter and tears,
of courage and fears,
of remembering and forgetting,
of creating and tearing down,
rising and falling,
of being amazed,
horrified, and dizzy!
As human beings, we have the privilege
of choosing to love
to savor the experience
of the beginning and ending
of each new day,
to breathe in the freshness
of morning,
to feel the coolness
of evening,
to talk to the moon,
and blow kisses to the sun!
Oh, don’t miss a moment,
not a single moment
of the wonder
of you
that only love can see!
This is our turn
to be, to become, to love,
to cherish,
and be ever grateful
for the chance!
