I am a person
I am alive
I have feelings
I have needs
I am no different than another
I need love
I need care, a home and sustenance
I want to walk free
To be able to live my life without pain or hurt
At times I am alone
Other times I am not
I am no different than another
I am human

It’s Sunday morning
The sun is out
The sky is blue
Coffee is brewing
The smell inviting
Another day has arrived

It’s Sunday morning
Time to reflect
Time for stillness
Time for gratitude

It’s Sunday morning
Cafés are filling up
Streets are becoming active
Music is playing
It awakens the spirit
Newspapers put out their best

It’s Sunday morning

It was quiet and still. Not a sound could be heard.
A couple of birds flew through the air in the distance almost invisible.
The trees laid out a dark rich green carpet underneath the trees.  It looked luxurious.
The sky was a pale blue grey with pillows of clouds.
They broke up the sky with their placement and streaks.
The sky was highlighted by a light which had a shadow resembling a renaissance painting. Perhaps Monet.
As I looked at the clouds, they became brighter, and started to turn to a light pink color.
It was so beautiful and indescribable.

My body is tired
My soul is tired
My bones ache
I just want to lay down and rest a little

My body hurts
My soul stings
I just want to lie down and rest a little

My heart hurts
My mind is tired
I just want to lie down and rest a little

My eyes can’t see clearly
My hands can’t grasp
I just want to lie down and rest a little

My ears can’t hear
My nose hurts
I just want to lie down and rest a little

My compass is lost
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know where I am
I just want to lie down and rest a little

My body is tired
My heart hurts
My body aches
My soul stings
I just want to lie down and rest a little

Will you take my hand and walk across the bridge of life with me
Will you sit in the stillness with me and savor the moment
Will you walk the shore of the sea with me picking up seashells

Will you stay with me and watch the moon and the stars

Will you travel the universe with me

Will you stay with me forever

There were two stones that had been together
They had never been apart
They sat in the bottom of a river
Peaceful
Sublime

Then all of a sudden one day they were separated by storms and rough waters
They ended up being pushed into different parts of the sea
Settling eventually on to the floor where they each sat alone

After several decades and stormy weather one day they were moved  close to each other once again

Like magnets they were uncontrollably drawn to the other and somehow managed to lock together as if made only for each other
Over time they became one piece
Destiny had arrived in all its glory

It’s magic

When the hot heat burns into your soul, imagine that you  are standing in a river with cool water running over your feet

It is soothing to the touch
It is calming

Imagine a cool breeze gently blowing across your face like butterfly kisses
Your skin feels cool

Imagine the scent of pine trees in the air

You are in another place
It is magic
