My Offer

When they come for me
In the morning
I will offer them
My hand

Come join me
In my sacred space
Take a seat
No need to stand

Come join me
In this circle
This place
Without an end

There is room for all
To find some peace
While we quietly
Sit as friends

In Their Shelter

Michael
Gabriel
Raphael

Names etched 
in the records of time

Exist in a realm
Between Heaven and Earth

With others, nameless,
Stand Guard over all

Always Protecting,
Helping, Guiding

Their sheltering wings
Bring comfort and peace

We don't need to see
To Believe

The Road to Peace

I Pray for PEACE
For Myself
For the World

Do I Practice what I Preach?
Do I Learn what I Teach?
Why is it so often out of Reach?

I YELL
I SCREAM
I CRY
I MOAN

I HATE Myself
When I get this way
I cannot take it back
When I have a bad day

The Lessons are Tough
The Road is Rough
Just Praying for Peace
IS NOT ENOUGH

I MUST LIVE IT
BREATHE IT
FEEL IT
BE IT

I must make amends
For every SIN
I must FORGIVE MYSELF
From DEEP WITHIN

The LESSON is Learned
The Path I NOW SEE
For PEACE to be Shared
I MUST FIND IT IN ME

The World's Lullaby

(Sung to the tune of Brahm's Lullaby)

Lullaby and Good Night
May your dreams take flight
Peaceful slumber come to you
And to all the world too

May your words sweetly speak
Spreading peace to all you meet
May your heart fill with love
Sent from heaven above

If the world joined in song
All would feel that they belong
Love would reign across the land
If we all joined hand in hand

All the colors would blend
Many rifts we could mend
If we tore down the walls
We could hear the angels call

Lullaby and Good Night
Ask the children what is right
Like a child may we see
What the world could truly be

Every voice could be heard
All would speak a kind word
We would help those in need
Every mouth we could feed

May the day truly come
When the world would be as one
May our dreams come to pass
When we find peace at last

Lay thee down now and rest
Put your faith to the test
With true heart may you live
Striving always to forgive

Yoga and Meditation Journal - 12/7/13

It has been a while since I posted. My daily practice has waned but I have kept it up weekly at least. I plan to resume my daily practice this coming week. It makes such a difference in my life.

Yoga and Meditation Journal - 11/23/13

It has been a while since I journaled. It has been a rough couple weeks and my daily practice has waned a bit, but it will pick up again. I have kept it going weekly and as much as possible. 

Angel Song

Angels are calling
with songs of love
Sweetly streaming
from heaven above

I see them surround me 
with comforting charm
I feel them wrap me
up in their arms

They are all around us
if we but glance
Helping to guide us
at every glance

Drawn to our love,
our joy and our peace
Their love always flows
and will never cease

They are creatures of Light 
shining brightly for all
There to catch us
if we should fall

Open your eyes
and look very clear
For chances are
an angel is near

Open your ears
and hear their call
For they can help
to save us all.

The Pause

As I walk with intention
Life flows in me
Youthfulness returns to me
Time quietly pauses
Mindfulness works a miracle
Every moment is magical
Silence prevails
One breath at a time

Yoga and Meditation Journal - 11/5/13

Still going strong with my commitment to do yoga, meditate and walk every day. It has become an integral part of my life now and I can't imagine not doing it.

Time is Relative

Wiling away the day at the cafe
While others bustle to and fro
Caught up in the ebb and flow
We calmly sit as they flutter and flit
They dart and flee
As the time 
passes 
by us 
luxuriously
