Nothing’s happening
Yet everything is here Now
I breathe in silence.
I wait in silence
For a small sign from above
To take the next step.
The day goes to sleep
Never to wake up again
Blue silence remains.
Life crafts miracles
In the silence of the night
I trust and exhale.
You can see very far
From the London Eye
Far into the future
When you’d rather
Just stay in the past.
You have to notice
The blue skies
And feel the lingering warmth
Of the autumn sun
Hope in disguise.
Snapshots of the now series (4) mobile
Look toward the light
Follow your path with passion
Unfold your own truth.
Life is flying by
Head just above the water
Where do I find calm?
The answer is: in nature
I treasure these rare moments.
Present each moment
From sunrise into sunset
This was a good day.

Sit still and listen
Calm harmonies of Nature
Summer’s last whispers.
Found a little bird at sunrise today
And I saw you, Mother, in a mythical way
So young, vibrant and full of life
Just few short months before you left
Us children, by cancer’s theft.
*
The little bird sang a beautiful song
And I heard your voice, no longer so strong
“My children, I love you”
That was your last Mother’s Day
The next morning took you away.
*
The little bird looked right at me
And I felt you, Mother, warm esprit
I told you we grew up missing you
But made it through life, somehow
You are a great grandma now.
*
The little bird took in the morning’s calm
And I sensed you around, a soothing balm
My eyes welled up with gratitude
I picked a flower thinking of you
And the little bird flew its way too.
Epilogue: I was working on the third verse of this poem when a small bird came to sit on the lounger just outside the glass doors to my office. It was just like the bird I saw in the park at sunrise. It looked straight into the room. Then it flew to the glass door itself, hung onto the vertical glass surface with its little feet for a few seconds, and looked in again before it flew away. Quite magical.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers!
Go to the Center
Of your infinite Being
Let Stillness soothe you
Rest in the shine of pure Love
Allow Life to flow freely.
No one knew the name of this day; 
Born quietly from deepest night,
It hid its face in light,
Demanded nothing for itself,
Opened out to offer each of us
A field of brightness that traveled ahead,
Providing in time, ground to hold our footsteps
And the light of thought to show the way.
