POEM: The Gift of the Present Moment

Remember the gift of the Now with its timelessness preciousness

POEM: Remember who you truly are

We are a species of contradictions So intelligent, so powerful, with minds and hearts and creativity and ability so wide yet vulnerable and perhaps blind to our shadow side

POEM: Spacious Awareness

Spacious Awareness like the eagle’s perch provides the bird’s eye view

POEM: The mother or the egg?

We too are held in the womb of God Gifted with the spark of life and held in compassionate care

POEM: Nature’s Wisdom

May my faith be as courageous and fierce as the lion May my insight and wisdom be as piercing and discerning as the eagle
