For eons and eons

she tried to understand

good and evil,

good was easy--

so wonderful--

but evil--

why why why,

the ceaseless question.

At one point she saw a rainbow

of unconditional love

hovering above good and evil

(a glimmer of insight into the incomprehensible dichotomy!),

but still the question, 

why why why.

Finally she found something to settle in-...

Age gracefully, darling,

accept that your body can't bounce around like it used to.

It's okay that your steps are slow and dust settles throughout your house,

undisturbed by hands that spend more time folded in contemplation than scurrying around cleaning.

Accept that there's not much scurrying anymore.

But notice how laughter comes more easily.

How few things really matter when ...

A user is a person looking for home,

a loser is a person tired of trying.

Let yourself be a helper if you want to,

stop when you don't want to.

Let the user find their kindness,

let the loser find their strength.

You are strong because you are an empty vessel

filled with joy.

You are bathed in kindness.

A giver is a generous person who fears nothing,

a winner is a joy...

Hate is someone looking for love,

fear is someone needing comfort,

anger is someone lost in sorrow.

Meet everything with breath,

find the answers in stillness.

Go deep, move slow, walk in peace.

An outstretched hand reaches further than a fist.

Remember there are always two choices:

send out fear, or send out love.

May the wind stir us to love.

Descend oh dove of love

and fill our hearts,

alight oh bird of flight

and give us wings

to soar,

to explore

the depths of vision,

the reaches of expansion.

Give us light,

give us might,

times are hard, 

burdens are heavy,

lift us up oh celestial messengers,

bring us strength,

bring us courage,

carry us gently

to the shores of renewal,

carry us hom...

Sit in stillness

and know that I Am love.

An empty mind

flows like a river

to the shores of peace.

Work steadily

with gratitude for the moving body.

When pondering existence,

know that movement and stillness

are the balance sought.

Movement supports stillness

and stillness supports movement,

back and forth and all around,

like the seasons,

like the tides,

The young man, 

a Jewish fellow, 

is married to my niece-in-law,

who was raised Christian

but she converted to Judaism upon marriage.

They have two delightful little kids.

We (2 Christian ladies) ran into them at the coffee shop;

the kids were bouncing like popcorn,

filled with excitement because their teachers were at school (professional development day) but not them (stu...
