Beginning

In the beginning I was hopeful

Even realistic about starting something new

Awareness brought me hope 

And out of fear.

As I waited on change to appear

Somewhere in the laborious process

I birthed something new.

The Darkest Light

Soul searching

Finding the deep channels

In midnight black

Without a light to shine.

When does this night end?

When will the new day break?

Or has the light extinguished

In this lifetime?

Beyond a nightmare

This can never be

A light among stars

Vanishing forever.

Dawn breaks

A centering beacon

Pulling my being

Towards an unknown light.

Warm and knowing

Who I am

Where I came from

I begin again.

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.
