poems & songs to fuel our journey

Song origin story: About three years ago, I was about to go to sleep around midnight and something compelled me
to put my fingers on the keyboard, and this flowed out
of my body— unexpected, spontaneous…about a week
before the war broke out in Ukraine/Russia.

Here in 2025, my heart goes out especially to the millions of innocent people, in any war across our global village, caught in the crossfire of politicians and power plays.

May there be true peace and prosperity and may it begin inside of me, ending the war within. May I keep dissolving fear- false evidence appearing real and liberating LOVE Limitless Omnipotent Vitality Emerging. And do my best each day to effectively embody this infinite LOVE in action. Infinite Source; help me to see clearly--not grey-smeared or rose-tinted-- and respond wisely, with compassion, curiosity and care.

A song for our shared heart of humanity. Let this touch yours :-)

When will we finally start learning
Hate cannot heal
And only LOVE is real
How much longer will it take for us to let go
Of so many stories that were never, ever true?
Why does it seem so hard
To face every face and see
You are me. And I am you.
We have a choice
LOVE or fear
Will you use your voice
And let it be clear
Are you ready? Are you willing to answer the call?
Keep it steady, history’s repeating. Hearts are beating
All for one and one for all
Where will we find our way to a new promise land with no guarantee?
Who are the ones destined to stay, even though we know it’s not easy
It’s just what’s gotta be!
What will make your soul sing?
Soar into the future and ask it what you’re here to bring
What you are here to bring
We have a choice
LOVE or fear
Will you use your voice
And let it be clear
Are you ready? Are you willing to answer the call?
Keep it steady, let’s claim our power in this hour
All for one and one for all
One Life One Love One Heart One Mind One Breath One Time
Now. Here we are Now. Here we are Now.

More good than you can imagine is in store for those who give up the little sense of self
for the SELF.
- Michael Beckwith

Move. But don’t move the way fear makes you move.
- Rumi

Divine Presence whispers to me
It's time to wake up, beloved,
into the arms of outrageous, infinite LOVE
into this new day dawning

You have no idea what's possible
when you let go of all the stories and strategies
and say YES to this LOVE taking the lead
in a new DANCE- unrehearsed, untethered,
unknowable and true

It does not compute for the programmed mind
or wounded heart
And this is your freedom and joy and destiny
to birth anew
or get tripped up by fear trying not to lose
in a crazy game, impossible to win

In each precious moment
you get to choose
and let this joyful play begin

SELF: Source Essence Limitless Formless

DANCE: Divine Aliveness Nourishing Creative Expression

LOVE: Limitless Omnipotent Vitality Emerging

YES: Yielding to Effortless Surrender :-)

New Poems: F.U.E.L. practice meditation with the mountain. These unexpectedly emerged, scribed on the same day. Please let them sink into your soul. :-)

  • I am this mountain...

    I am this mountain and sky and trees

    I am the birdsong and this cool breeze touching my skin

    Greeting me, enfolding, emboldening me for a truly new day to begin

    I am this cup of tea, warm in my hands

    I am an unfolding Mystery that no amount of clever thinking ever understands

    I am emergence rising

    from the belly of the beast and the bosom of the Great Mother

    We are entering a time unlike any other

    Where we finally can see

    Every being as sister brother

    And forgiveness and grace allow us to be emancipated

    from these chains of fear and division

    And be consecrated in a new vision

    beyond all these stories and strategies that come from lack

    Truly waking up to LOVE limitless omnipotent vitality expressing, caressing wounded hearts and healing reactive adaptive parts that tried to protect us but we just kept falling down

    Now here we stand together and tall

    Claiming our crowns, and taking our power back

    for a beautiful world that does work for all

  • The sun is not afraid of the dark...

    The sun is not afraid of the dark

    The moon doesn’t wish it were thinner

    The ocean isn’t worried about getting wet or drowning or being too much or too quiet & still And does not hesitate to create or destroy

    The lilies do not toil, rather they blossom generously and wither back to compost without complaint

    The hummingbird is not exhausted or overworked in spite of all that effort

     These are my teachers

    if I am willing to let them be

  • The soul knows

    What the ego often judges as a freeze of resistance, avoidance or at least a naughty lack of productivity

    The soul knows as a Holy Pause

    And is it my sovereign duty, especially at this stage of my life, to be a servant of the Sacred

    Not a well-behaved slave for the never-ending list from the land of never enough

    What is weak

    What is wisdom

    What is naïve

    What is brave

    There is only one life to save, the goddess (who lives in a chamber in my chest) whispers

    It is my own, of course, I see

    And may I know this is the blessing, benefiting what we call eternity

    There are no real cages and no one to set free

    But I shall carry on this quest
    until they all reach purity
    of heart and mind at rest
    and humankind returning
    to mine the gold inside and alchemize the lead world into its glory beyond the story we all were sold so long ago

    And the LOVE parade shall march to celebrate a radiant new glow.
