of change.
Others
fearful
of staying the same.
Life is fleeting
an adventure
in constant flow.
When things are stagnant
for long periods
Ho hum, hum drum.
Feeling uneasy
in armchair of laziness –
should be doing something.
drudgery of sluggish routine
suffocates motivation &
spontaneous creativity.
Filling time
with pleasurable pursuits
that “speak” & are heard
honouring
intuitive whispers
that alert & guide
Focus elusive.
Easily distracted
by eager eye taking in,
magnetic energy attracting
whirling sights & sounds
confuse
On precipice of risk
testing self
Urged to explore
each new place
where freedom allows
choice –
detaching from
outcome
Sampling & savoring
sweet morsels
manifesting feasts
creating rich reality
in delectable smorgasbord
called life.
Stepping out
daring & fearless
Saying “why not?”
keeping energy fluid
merging into rivers
inspired to navigate
Feeling brave.
Opening up
excavating hidden talents
discoveries match desires
Meeting people
unknown before
engagement
in new ventures.
Heart sees.
Beauty & vulnerability
strength & courage
revealed.
Impossible
to stay
with one thing
as principal focus.
Difficult to figure…
boredom,
or fear
that following it further
might bring elevation
to level of skill
where more
is demanded.
Critical.
Gentle with innocent
Self
accomplishment pleases
Not shackled
by traps of youth
when perfection
determined value.
Favour of others pleases
it does not
define
self perception.
Wondering
if there is
doubt of not measuring
high enough
on yardstick
of self determined
rule of success
Likely closer
to hunger of what urges
is grace of insatiable appetite
to learn anew,
willingness
to bathe in the freshness
of each new day
to peek nose into space
where shaft of light
reveals itself at doorway’s edge
nudge it open
and enter
to take rightful place.
As a child critcized,
judged as nosy
“You just don’t want to miss out on anything do you?”
Statement right
Judgment wrong
Truth is
blessed with curiosity
of a puzzled child
seeing
wanting to know more
longing to understand
Tasting, nourished
from the banquet
where inner promptings
direct to new menus
selecting
unfamiliar, tempting main courses
& desserts
delighting in surprises
gliding gracefully on
Wafting like a breeze
on zephyrs of change
big toe in water
feeling, testing
engaging to level
where thermostat
of comfort zones
registers interest & pleasure.
Relishing excitement & lightness
acknowledging presence of butterflies
spreading wings
& moving
ever forward.
Engaging loops & levels
on landscapes of life.
Constants…
the comfort of familiarity.
rubbing against it
like a child
feeling cozy & safe
snuggled close to mother
in church pew,
nuzzling face
clinging to warmth of texture
& smells
of worn
muskrat fur coat.
Passion vibrates
heart sings
expressing photographic gift
captivated
by eye & heart enveloping beauty
seen & sensed,
unceasingly seduced
to look beyond surface
seen.
Immersed
in shining light
of beauty pool
where sacred subjects
reveal reflections
of souls
And time stops.
_________
Teacher
& student
in game of life
observing
shifting
like seasons
jumping in,
surrendering
Flowing
merged with the stream
& growing into awareness of
the glory
of
True
Self
