BeginningIn the beginning I was hopefulEven realistic about starting something newAwareness brought me hopeAnd out of fear.As I waited on change to appearSomewhere in the laborious processI birthed something new.The Darkest LightSoul searchingFinding the deep channelsIn midnight blackWithout a light to shine.When does this night end?When will the new day break?Or has the light extinguishedIn this lifetime?Beyond a nightmareThis can never beA light among starsVanishing forever.Dawn breaksA centering beaconPulling my beingTowards an unknown light.Warm and knowingWho I amWhere I came fromI begin again.(c) 2018 Don Haderlein, from "It is Well With My Soul"Read by Don Haderlein

Gratitude
I am thankful for life
And the spark of energy, The glimpse of eternity That rushes through my soul.
Every breath I take, Every food I taste, Every thought I make Is a gift I receive.
In deep sleep, I dream. When I awake,
I smile,
Knowing that with every heartbeat I am Alive.
Compassion
At the God source Compassion breaks through.
God’s love extends Beyond measure.
We live with a loving God. We are His treasure.
Allow compassion. Begin with loving yourself. Extend outwardly to others.
Then reach up towards Heaven, Where compassion will lead us forward Into Love.
Resurrection
Like the sun rising each day, A new day announces a hope For change and rebirth
A moment for resurrection.
Life from life to life Death has lost its sting. Inevitable and impermanent Life continues on.
Many resurrections occur in life. Daily we are renewed.
There are endings and new beginnings.
As we rise from the ashes
We are reborn.
