Still learning to reach for the gifts
star like in the skies
Taking them into my heart

One at a time

One for your love
The children too

One for the mind
One for the feelings
Through and through

One for the light evolving
One for the light of healing

One at a time

One for the heat of living

Still learning to reach for the gifts
Star like in the skies.

I get the feeling of a broad sweeping expanse of learning and improvement for everyone when I read this poem.  There's so much opportunity out there if we just see it and take advantage of it.

A beautiful mind, that is a mind that can touch truth-harmony- beauty in it's flights beyond the limits can heal a million hearts,I am reminded reading this.We see the acts of
severely limited minds that has never known the hope of 
touching truth-harmony- beauty even once, around us and grieve. What we see is a heart rending cry, in a voice they are familiar>This meditative hymn will heal all with it's fingers of forgiveness..Thank you Steve
