Considerations

Oh the roles and choices
I, the eldest of the forest
I choose to lead

The new branches, stretch, grow,
and blossom

New ideals abound the within
the nectar of the
center

The center which is always
here, awaiting

Sometimes I think I want to be
in another forest
be a different branch
bear someone else's fruit

Alas this is my path
My role can and is thoughtful,
heart driven, and
SOUL LEAD

Action of Beliefs

Beyond the forces of nature
within the song of the wind
I howl unto the night sky for an
answer to a prayer

I am steadfast in my quest
the belief of joy within my reach
altruism

Some say to dance amongst the stars
overfills the soul with joy
I am the stars
I have the joy
I dance

I catch myself wanting to act
in order to draw in my desires
yet this action before belief
is frivolous

More and more I am aware of the
millions of thoughts and emotions
What are these beliefs based on or in
Do I truly believe this for me
or am I also just a sheep
one of the cattle

Sit and wait
the stillness enters with the belief
ingrained in my soul
the Joy of Being
a human Being

the Brilliance

little droplets, wander from the sky to the earth
do they have a choice in where they fall?
some how they know, there purpose is to splash,
splutter, tinkle, give life through water

oh little droplets, quench my thirst
I, too, know my purpose is to give life

by being, listening, and guiding
my soul knows, I have the choice
brilliance of the rain? or dankness in the gutter?

I choose

yes

Nature is a marvelous, everchanging and creative mystery

Cobalt Blue Jay

His melody sweetly entered my dream
through the notes I was lulled into
the morning dew

Twirling, spinning, moving the leaves
create their own choreographed dance
As they fall to the earthen floor

Warmth from within meets the dawn of the day
Sunlight opens the shadowed clouds
I sigh in wonder

The breath follows the mood
the mood follows the breath

Oh to fly and be wooed by my Beloved
sing through me
Cobalt Blue Jay

Contrast

amazing changes all around
the autumn colors reflect my light
a sharing of celebration

feel the deepening coolness
nature begins to shed her skin
the veil is broken

what lies beneath is
is

Balance of Duality

to Draw upon the gracious strengths,
the persona surrenders to the Divine self

By raising the white flag,
the ego recognizes survival with and
By the Way of Peace

Within the dawn of the Self era
Authentic service reigns and
manages all in
Love
Honor
Respect
Faith

Experience the Balance of Duality
