Fight or Flight...

Living in a constant state

of "fight or flight" drains me

of all energy to create

and to appreciate this moment.

Building Bridges....

life is a raging river

full of cascading waterfalls

rushing over jagged rocks

with time polishing me smooth...

eventually

emptying into calm ponds
of love...

God is the ocean

I am a drop of water
in a tiny tributary

working my way back
home....

I strive to be flexible in spirit

often, rigid in flesh..

I keep returning
to the familiar
 dysfunctional

 suspension bridge

with frayed ropes 

and missing planks

instead of trusting myself
to take a leap of faith..
a different path,
like a felled log
of opportunity,

firm and wide...waiting....
  for me to cross the chasm
of my fears and insecurity...

I can do this....

I can trust my way across...

USE IT!"

to the tunes we create."

"The greatest gift you can give to me

is to seek me out

accept me as I am

be with me in any given moment

and listen with your heart."
