They walk among us
They have always been here
They are the ancient ones
Teachers
Guides
They are everywhere
They are part of the earth
Quiet
Listening
Watching
Protecting
They are of the spirit
More than the body
Their faces reflect light
They have seen things
Back to the beginning
They understand
Our purpose
Why we are here
They carry peace
Harmony
In their hearts
They are part of
Everything
And beyond
Waking up
Early morning rituals
Watching the sunrise
Surveying the blue sky
Enjoying the coolness
Admiring the beauty outside
Anticipating the day
Waiting for coffee or tea
Breakfast
What to have
Checking out the news
Being alive
Savoring the pure joy of it
From a day of pain can come light and comfort
Imagine a clear but lightly shaded gray day
A smattering of puffy gray clouds dot the sky
A cool but not cold air and breeze fills your lungs
The smell of salt and the sea
Sounds of waves crashing to the shore
Soft, silky sand runs through your bare feet and toes
Sitting in the sand half buried sits a glass crystal ball almost glistening
It is about the size of a grapefruit, perhaps a bit larger
As you pick it it up to look at it, you notice a piece of red velvet inside along with a note written on white paper
You open the ball and take out the note to read it
You are instructed to touch the areas where you feel pain and then touch the red velvet inside the ball
You then close the ball back up and return it where you found it and then continue walking down the beach
As you turn around to look at the glass ball one more time you notice it has risen off the ground and is shooting towards the sky where it all but disappears
A short time later you hear an explosion in the sky
As you look up, the sky is a
deep gold color
Threads of gold start to rain down and as they touch you they become golden stars before vanishing
You notice any pain you had is now gone and all you feel is peace and comfort
Imagine walking into a forest full of pine and other trees
They are all colors and sizes

As you stop amongst the trees, all you can hear is the deep silence
and the sound of your boots as you walk along on the dirt path

A slight cool breeze rustles through the trees moving the limbs
as the branches sway back and forth to the rhythm of the breeze

It is pleasant and calming
There is a scent of freshness in the air
It is invigorating

The sky is clear, and there is a glimmer of the sun gently hitting the path ahead
As you look up through the trees, the sun seems to shimmer

You keep walking
At the end of the path, is a small log cabin with a fire burning in the fireplace
waiting for its owner to return
You can smell something baking in the oven
A bit of smoke leaves the chimney
A dog is quietly sleeping on the porch
A cat is busy chasing bugs in the yard
Wildflowers are everywhere
All shapes and colors
It’s a peaceful day
Summer
There’s darkness outside with a glimmer of light
Slowly the darkness cedes
Traffic is slowly moving
The morning has begun
Coffee and tea being made
The quiet of night being replaced
By familiar noise
The sun starts to rise
A golden ball
It’s a glorious sight
Another morning has arrived
As the city wakes up once again
Sitting in a bakery sipping coffee
Watching the wait staff moving to and fro
People eating weekend breakfast
Talking and smiling
Streets full of people

Bakery heaven

Precious baked goods for sale
Beautiful to see
The scent of them like perfume
Intoxicating to the senses

Bakery heaven
Even in darkness there will be a lit candle to show the way
We just have to believe

It’s light will be enough to light the world
We just have to believe

Even in times of hardship things will work out
Even when there’s hate love will win
We just have to believe

When darkness is all around
In the end light will prevail
We just have to believe

Light a candle and help light up the world
Be the light
Lift up the world
Take away the darkness
Candlelight
