Crickets and rain drops outside my window,
Quiet my distracted soul
And not unlike a lullaby,
I feel my spirit finding rest
In You.

THE CHOICE
March 30, 2016The voice of change,
of peace,
of growth,
of renewal
comes in a whisper.
We must make the choice to listen.

LOOSEN UP!
March 28, 2016As a society, we are so serious . . . focused. Sometimes, we need to be frivolous! I KNOW! Sounds like a contradiction, but we bind ourselves with unnecessary rules and focus so often on culture and opinions which are meaningless! I say sing, dance, run outside in the rain, be silly!

HOLDING ON
March 23, 2016“What a lot of nerve!”
they said shaking their heads.
I merely sighed and smiled
knowing nerve had no role at all,
only faith.
