 Early Morning Reverie


A filigree of light filters through the leafless trees, and their shadows fall on our diaphanous drapes.

The morning light in the eastern sky is muted by cloudy wisps. 

The sun, awakened but not as yet up and around, is revealed as a red-orange hue on the horizon, below a gray-blue arch of sky.

The wind is calm, tired by all its high-speed antics of previous days.

Slowly the orange orb appears in the low tree branches.

The peace of the present pervades, a prayer itself for all peoples of Earth, that their day may dawn in peace.

My Destiny

  My Destiny I’m writing my destiny now. Each man is an island if he chooses to be. I’m understanding my destiny now. No man is an island if he chooses to connect. I’m loving my destiny now. No man is an island if he leads with his heart. I’m expanding my destiny now. No man is an island if he ventures beyond himself. I’m sharing my destiny now. I’m bridging one island to another by sharing my truth from an unguarded heart. I’m living my destiny moment to moment now. My heart is hearing what yours has to say. I’m living my destiny now. My destiny is now, living each moment with an open heart.

Real Change or Just Pocket Change

  Real Change or Just Pocket Change      You can’t change the people around you.      But you can change the people around you.                                                      Anonymous You can’t change peoples’ behaviors, but you can surround yourself with different people. How? Look to yourself. The people around you are there for a reason. And the reason is you. They are around you to be a mirror for you, a reflection of your own behavior. They are there to teach you something. If you don’t like what’s in the mirror - the behavior that they are presenting - then you need to change yourself.  There’s no changing others, only yourself. If you want to hang with a group more authentic, be authentic yourself. That’s real change, not just pocket change.
