A Return to the Simple Things

Life is simple again
The light of the sun
A blue sky
No implications for what is to come
The trees outside my window
Billowing in a gentle breeze
Just because
Small finches
Cute and light
Frolic on branches
Because they can
And sing
Their tune
Carried on
The same breeze
That rocks the trees
And I
Begin to sway too
My mind
At ease
Thank God
Life is simple again.

You Are Good Enough Today

A special message for ladies, it's as the songwriter wrote: "Sometimes you have to encourage yourself..." Be Blessed ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Why isn’t being who you are today good enough? Why do you need to be a heroic ideal, a mental projection of who you think you should be in some tomorrow? Thinner, richer, lighter or darker, happier, a heroine of community efforts and savior of the modern world Don’t you k now who you are today is already enough? “You” right now in the present is enough. It is good to have dreams and goals, but do not lose sight of today’s reality because your vision is so far into the future. Don’t miss the blessing under your nose, in your house, in your bed, at your job. Love you in the now and God and the Universe will thank you for it. Be your own best friend, cheerleader, champion, and advocate. Tell yourself – how beautiful you are, how smart you are, how much you love those round hips and big eyes. Mean It. Be th...

Today: July 17, 2009

Today, I put on the spirit of humility... Today, I take my time... Be careful, be deliberate... Today, I let my Lord's countenance be all about me... Today, I serve with joy and honor as it is a privilege... Be filled with joy, hope, and peace. Radiate.... Today, I take the Holy Spirit wherever I go Be filled with Love and offer it in abundance to others... Today, I listen to my spirit first and I leave room for work... Be not, so critical of yourself.... Today, I heed the small voice within, for it is always right.

Tree Smarts

So, I have this theory about trees, take a read and see if you agree. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Trees reach out to one another. The beauty of heart-shaped archways optimize love. Quiet romance. Have you ever felt serenity on tree lined streets? Shared strength in touching. Have you ever looked up and noticed trees holding hands above your head? Twists of artistic feats. Have you ever felt the sadness in the fall of leaves beneath your feet? Trees reach out to one another. They stretch themselves to find friends outside their comfort zone. I’ve seen trees in wedlock Leaves slapping high-five Trees celebrating, “We just glad to be alive” Trees expressing love, embraces without shame, Trees supporting each other without notoriety, money, or fame. Trees reach out to one another. Trees live, shed leaves, take reprieve, only to do it again next year. Trees grow, they know, how to reach out to one another, and hold on. I think that trees are much smarter than me.
