Life Learner

they call them "life learners"-
those who you teach how to learn.
leaving pedagogy behind,
we lead our own lessons
when we chose to
recognize them.

admiring birds as they fly by,
enjoying a simple bike ride,
delighting in sipping cold water.

age does not describe
how much one knows..
it provides
inspiration and wonder,
as we are reminded with every
passing moment:
time is an illusion,
maturity is relative,
and life is happening Now.

Namaste.

Hiding Places

everyday my angels go out
an hour before i wake up.... and
they plant little surprises of
beauty and joy
along the road i will be traveling.

when i do everything i say
i am going to do-
when i live my Truth-
i find these tiny treasures.

Truth leads me to hiding places,
where i delight in the
treasures i discover.
surprised, and with gratitude
i thank my angels and the Universe
for showing me unfailing Love!

Namaste.

things Change.. why doesn't Love?

lately, ive been filled with
questions rather than
insights.

i admire 50 year old marriages.
20 year old marriages even.
to be in relationship, all the while
learning, growing, and changing.


romanticized images of couples,
still "having it" and glowing with joy.
this seems so hard.
what a struggle to keep it up.
and how can so many
males and females
be called to this turmoil?


does the good really outweigh the bad?
if so, then i want to see the scale that proves it.


point is, things change. i see the beauty
in change. the only thing i cant see is,
how do two people, soaking up life
and basking in its pleasures, find
pleasure in each other over such a
long
long
long
time?

Namaste.

Expectations

saying "bless you" with "you're welcome"
on the tip of your tongue.
driving thirteen hours to be greeted with a smile.
working out to get skinny.
praying for rain and taking your umbrella to work.
standing with open arms for a bear hug back.
saying "i love you" and hearing its echo.
being open and getting filled.

how does one maintain their humanness, yet still refrain from having expectations?
the action should not equal the reaction.....
yet, why does my mind think it does?

Namaste.

A Rather Different Set of Friends

Friendships are the blessings that keep us sane.
In and through this process, insanity arises.
The good kind of insanity-
which enables you to grow, change, laugh, and cry
about life's roller coaster of events and emotions.

A friend listens and shares about every day occurrences
providing relief to the soul-
in knowing that another soul knows, cares, and advises.

An invisible connection is made that can travel
any amount of distance and time-
and it is included in our Divine Contract that we remain with
these soul friends for this lifetime or more.

Namaste.
