I wandered through the forest, lost and bereft, until I came across a sacred grove. The tree in the center was broken and battered like me, yet its form was that of a cross. Not unlike myself when I extend my arms up to shoulder height and hold them there. But I was too tired to stand there like the tree with my arms held aloft. It was no small thing just to be present most days, let alone holding a pose. So, I sat in the center of the sacred grove and I asked the tree for some of its strength.

A new poem about what can grow in our heart space…
What If A Tulip Sprang? What if a tulip sprang, from my heart? What if the tender sprouts rose up from my heart until they became leaves that spread within my heat space, healing my weary soul. Oh, those strong green leaves rising from the Earth, do they not form the shape of the bottom of the heart. They are the base that holds up the flower. The stem begins to grow. It is taller than the leaves and on top of the stem forms a bud. The bud begins to grow. Soon that bud Presents the faint hint of color. Then the bud begins to open. It forms fully into a ripe tulip rich with hues of magenta, white and green. No ordinary tulip, this one. This tulip It unfolds all ruffly like a skirt with a petticoat and that is the crux of its beauty. Each petal is a piece of my heart. Each petal is a layer of my life. Each petal is the soft, sweet, gentle space I hold In my heart. What if a tulip sprang from my heart? If a tulip sprang from my heart, it would surely signify my heart is open, and I too can unfold like the ruffled tulip that sprang up from the Earth.

A Shadow of Myself Here I stand, a shadow of myself, looking for a familiar posture. A shadow of myself peers through the lens of my camera Looking for the woman I used to be. I, the me’s I used to be, strong and tenacious. Now I stand shakily on solid ground. A shadow of myself. Strength replaced by pain and worry. I am but a shadow of myself. In my mind my thoughts drift back to the me’s I used to be. Now I see shadows where I was once strong. Now I see shadows, my tenacity is gone. Here I stand, a shadow of myself, looking for a familiar connection.

Within silence my voice dwells. My voice, it swirls around in my head, and spins so swiftly, it is hard to get it all down on paper. Most times the task seems Insurmountable. I need to think like a river, rapidly rushing by and take pause to hear, write, and speak the words I hear in silence. My mind is never silent. it rushes like the river to the sea. There is silence in the river as it rushes by. The river, always in motion, it makes nary a sound but within it dwells power, a force that flows like words on paper.

Peace, love, joy – these, according to St. Paul, are the three fruits of the spirit. They correspond very closely to the three essential attributes of God, as summarized in the Indian formula, sat, chit, ananda – being, knowledge, bliss. Peace is the manifestation of unified being. Love is the mode of divine knowledge. And bliss, the concomitant of perfection, is the same as joy. ~ Aldous Huxley: Huxley and God
