The Peace That Passeth Understanding

When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection, love is born.  -Thich Nhat Hanh

From Above

An angel peered down

through a hole in the heaven

saw the people on earth

busy tending to their business.

Their minds were preoccupied

hearts heavy with worry

souls withered by stress

and their lights were dim.

She couldn’t help but wonder

whether this was the best use

of everyone’s limited time

on earth beautiful.

Look up and smile, she said.

Heaven and Earth

Between heaven and earth

life appears dream-like

bright flares of passion

in the sky of existence.

Far on the horizon

unassuming puffs of softness

pretty statuettes of the ego

await to be discovered.

As the light emerges

these images will be painted

in the color of the soul

sincerely from the heart.

(Signing off for a few days, have a wonderful weekend everyone!)

Poems

Earth Beautiful

I breathe, think and I dream

Make plans, steer my path

Need to feel in charge

Control  future outcomes

My little spot on earth

The center of the universe

Filled with worries and stress

And I forget to live

Forget to let go and trust life

Grow as part of creation

As one of many and many as one

Live in the light shining

On earth beautiful.
