Miracles

 

I will be gone for a while, but will be back when time allows. I hope that these words have washed over you in waves of understanding. I have learned so much from all of you. Peace.

Fearless

 

let the sun rise
let the clouds clear
let the lotus blossom
let the heart open
let the day begin

"Why do you stay in prison when the door is wide open?"
-Rumi

Cocoon

fear
wraps itself around me
in layers of warm escape
no room to move, to respond
to the wind's howling anger
or the earth's dampened spirit
under the weight of cloudy skies
and colorless rain

this coat constricts breathing
separates me
from all other beings
frozen in their own thoughts
encased by their own egos

the same wind asks,
"why wait till spring
to become a butterfly?"
