the pathless path leads
without going anywhere
to the intimacy of our own being

when everything
seems to pull
the other way
contemplate
the power of softness 

in the luminous forest 
of interbeing
freed from
 the seductive 
spell of separation
the light of Being
proclaims its
truth, beauty
and goodness 
"This is what I Am"

Joyful Blessings of Winter Solstice
May all beings dwell in the open Heart
May all beings dwell in Peace

may we be
wise
 compassionate
ancestors,
standing in
sovereignty
radiating
wild mercy 
and love

once upon a time 
in a world that never was
and always
is
a wholeness
and beauty
the heart knows and
remembers

equinox threshold prayer for the world this morning:

may all beings be free from anger
may all beings be free from ill will 
may all beings be safe and protected
may all beings be healed and know wholeness 
may all beings flourish and be free
may all beings be filled with loving kindness
may all beings dwell in peace

underneath the turbulence
somehow
mysteriously
easy to miss
there is peacefulness
