The Place of the Lovers
My love, I have searched for you
in so many shadowed faces
looked through the rags and rich velvet cloth
of so many different places……
that I thought I would die of the thirst of
missing YOU
My love, I have spent past days and nights
in separation, the loneliness of which,
has starved my soul to a perfection of humility
and has taught me the simplicity of a single prayer,
PLEASE COME…..
My love, I have come to such a pure place of emptiness,
with every tear spent,
with every word, silenced
with every thought turned useless….
left with only the magnificence of wanting YOU
Yes, my love……I wait,
in this completion of silence
in this unconditional surrender….
not to beg,
nor to manipulate,
not to speak,
nor to sing,
but to wait…..
with the fullness of the inevitability…..
OF
YOUR
COMING
I’m asking you, please
Lift me high,
Lift me high,
’til my fingertips touch the sky
I’m asking you
please,
lift me high.
Step right up and buy some peace !
Ok….this morning I was sent an email advertisement which wanted me to step right up and buy some peace of mind. And I thought to myself, ” This is peace of mind? hmmmm…. say what?”
Am I the only one who missed it? Did you know that peace of mind can be shopped for, bought at the local super market, shopping mall, or the drug store ?
Maybe it comes in capsule form and I just didn’t see it. Was it in that wine bottle, or maybe down the cereal aisle? If it was, I didn’t feel it.
And what do you suppose it costs? A few quarters………one dollar…. ten? Can anybody afford it, or is it only for the elite, the wealthy? Does it work instantly or is it time- released ? Is it for real or are you ripping me off?
Read MoreA Living Album
Read MoreThe other day, as I was out to “buy” something, I realized that for me, things are much less valuable than experiences. My “things” have a habit of wearing out… my experiences, not so much.
I hold all of my experiences tucked inside of me, and I pull them out like a treasured photo album… ah, but here the analogy ends, for this particular photo album is alive.
The photos have not faded, the corners are not bent, each unfolds again and again as I pull it out. The faces have not dimmed over time. None have turned to black and white. They are filled with bright colors, with the lessons and learnings, the emotions and the wonders of all that I am capable of feeling.
What a great camera, what a great camcorder, I hold the magic button to. Press… LIVE !! Press I AM ALIVE, press I FEEL, press and I THRIVE.
The Elephant and the Flea
Once upon a time, there was a most magnificent elephant. This elephant was the strongest animal in the land. Its wisdom was beyond the wisdom of any of the other creatures that lived near it, although it did not condescend to any of those other creatures. It knew, of course, that somewhere in them also was the same wisdom, which the elephant itself relied on.
