Start with a firm base of acceptance,

roll this out firmly but gently until the dough is flat and smooth across the table of this day,

shape the dough into a round pan, formed into a circle with finger-pressed edges of patience,

add a generous layer of cinnamon-spiced apples of joy,

top frivolously and messily with crumbs of graham-crackered laughter,

put this concoction of life's a...

eveyday it arrives

and we push against it

like it's a tidal wave 

trying to drown us,

but really it's a cleansing designed to revive us.

Turn off the faucet of fear

and let life flow,

a tsunami of energy 

rich with joy and sorrow

and birth and recomposition.

All this is creation expressing itself through you and you and you,

each part of the multitude, e...

I am waiting for my Christmas miracle.

I have faith that can move mountains.

I believe in miracles.

I do not care how long I have to wait.

I believe in rebirth, in healing, in radical shifts of consciousness.

I have seen it happen.

I have felt it, I have lived it.

I am waiting for my Christmas miracle.

The waiting is joyful and sorrowful.

The waiting is peaceful.

For ...

"Nothing is done,

nothing is left undone."

When I stop being the doer,

things get done peacefully. 

When I let Life be the doer,

things get done joyfully.

Life is a powerful force,

and when moving through a loving heart,

Life is a gentle force

that gets things done with kindness.

Rise each morning,

empty your mind,

fill your heart with love,

and let Life live...

Bless everyone and everything all day long

Forgive everyone and everything all day long

Bless the cup from which I drink

Bless the spoon from which I eat

Bless my feet that walk on the ground

Bless the rooms that give me shelter

Forgive the cup that shatters to the floor

Forgive the fingers that lose their grip

Forgive the body that falls sick with doubt

Forgive the reme...

I love windows

I love air

I love opening a window 

to let in air

I love walking

I love the ground

I love feeling the solid

earth under my feet as I walk

I love smiles

I love gentle

I love the gentle smile

on the face of a beloved

I love waking

I love sleeping

I love waking in the morn

with the light

I love the moonlight

as I settle in for the nigh...

Mastering the breath

is easy and worthwhile.

Breathe in,

breathe out.

Mastering the chi

of your energy body

is powerful and healing.

The air flows in,

the air flows out,

the air circles your body.

Move your hands up to lift the chi,

move your hands down to lower the chi,

reach down and gather the crops into a basket,

reach up to capture the moon in your heart...

Everything gets done,

nothing gets done.

Everything is tidy,

everything is a mess.

Come, let us feel sad together

and laugh,

Come, let us feel happy together

and cry,

Come, let us strip down to bare essentials

and dance in the sunlight,

Come, let us adorn ourselves with jewels

and prance in the moonlight.

What is this season of crazy wildness?

Why, it's life ...

In the stillness

is the stirring

of the soul,

like a restless wind

carrying seeds

to fertile ground,

I sit awake,

aware,

of the deepest peace,

the gentlest calm,

that resides in the birthplace

of my being.

I abide here,

simply.

I set my intention for the day

in the soft light of morning

in the deep quiet of morning

my day shall unfold in beauty

my day shall unfold in peace

I set my intention for the day

lighting a candle of prayer

breathing fully of awareness

all around me shall be healing

all around me shall be love
