Rising high on the sunset sky
The reddish moon of tonight
I quiet my mind and it moves closer
That’s a beautiful sight.
My conscious world grows smaller and smaller
Thoughts come to close with ease
They drop away one by one
I feel nothing but Peace.

Monday Musings: Just One Smile
When I met this graceful Snowy Egret just around dawn yesterday, I felt my heart was smiling. And I remembered a beautiful poem I had found some time ago. It spoke to me about reaching out, supporting one another, and brightening someone’s day. This is how it goes.
Let my soul smile through my heart
And my heart smile through my eyes,
That I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.
– Paramahansa Yogananda
I thought about it and realized there are sad hearts, for various reasons, all around me. Both physically and virtually. Known and unknown to me. I was walking and contemplating this when I saw a beautiful cloud on the sunrise sky. Whether synchronicity or not, it delivered the message.
If I could help rekindle even one smile in a sad heart this week, I would be happy. Just one smile.
Have a wonderful week. May your heart smile.
Musing Monday: Breathe In the Morning Wind
“The morning wind spreads its fresh smell.
We must get up and take that in,
that wind that lets us live.
Breathe before it’s gone.”
– Rumi
Quiet Mind
How does it feel
When your mind is quiet
All chatter is gone
Churning has ceased
And your thoughts rest
On the shores of silence?
How does it feel
When light slowly seeps in
Hope reappears
Gratitude takes hold
And the quiet space
Is filled with peace?
At the End of the Day
Now, at the end of the day
Pause
Turn inward, gently
Breathe
Breathe
Release your thoughts
Send worry away
Invite your mind to quiet
Breathe
Open your heart
Allow light to enter
Wait in silent prayer
And life will find you.
Bridge of Thought
Walking on a bridge of thought
I arrive in a peaceful garden
where the birds sing of renewal
and the light is touchable by hand.
I will remain here in silence
let all worries and requirements
escape and slowly float away
leaving my soul refreshed
and my mind amazed by life.

Have a refreshing weekend everyone!
Ankle Deep
Sometimes
I just want to wade
Ankle deep
In serenity
So I can see
The sparkle of life
In all its clarity.
Silent Dreams
Newly frozen lake
Bright reflections of life
On crystal clear ice
Spellbind her heart.
In her silent dreams
Beautiful thoughts
Like vibrant flowers
Bud in the snow.
Reality curves outward
her mind turns inward
stillness floods the canvas
and she just is.
Two Breaths on a Friday
Breathe in
calm down
contemplate
feel the pulse
nature’s rhythm
breathe out.
Breathe in
just relax
let thought go
empty the canvas
listen to the silence
breathe out.
Blessings
The bright streams of light
carry away all worries
bring blessings and hope.
