Watching Sunlight

I watched sunlight today
playing with shadows
on a white trash can
in my kitchen.

It played 'round
the passing clouds
in the morning sky,
creating moving shadows
of things which were
not moving at all.

Now .. a crisp shadow...
then a brighter beam
and the shadows blurred
as the rays curved
'round and thru the clouds,
making the shadows
dance before me
on the blank whiteness.

I watched sunlight today
playing with shadows,
and it beamed with delight.

If not me, then.... who?

Future

 “Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.”

― Jim Rohn 

Sometimes Memories

You know it’s coming,

But who expects it?

She came into my life

On this third leg of my life’s journey.

She walked with me,

Talked to me,

Meditated with me,

Slept with me,

Ate with me,

Her presence always expected.

And when apart,

I remembered her fully,

And often…

An Always Memory.

She grew old and weaker,

And left in a quiet moment.

Then, all I had was a memory …

Good memories,

Repented memories,

Happy memories,

Just … memories.

And the days pass,

And the months pass,

And the years fly by.

I don’t think of her as often.

She has become a Sometimes Memory.

But that’s not a bad thing.

Everything, everyone will become

A Sometimes Memory to me,

As I will to them.

That’s Life … and that’s OK.

Nothing is ever lost, really,

Nor totally forgotten.

All is recorded in the Akashic Records, God’s Heart.

At the least,

I will have been a memory to someone,

For some time,

For some thing I said or did,

Even if only a Sometimes Memory to most.

Troublemakers

Since no one really knows
anything about God,
those who think they do
are just troublemakers.

                                   --- Hafiz

Religion, for all its intent to keep humanity connected --- to one another and to God (Source of Life) --- has been the catalyst in creating violence and wars (in the name of God) throughout the centuries.

But thank God for Faith, which, in its best practice, counteracts the stupidity of religious fervor.

Creative Spirit

My mind is flooded
with ideas,
with words,
with pictures,
with music,
with invention,
with possibilities,
so easiily overwhelmed.

Then what do I follow?
What project do I start?
What possibility to develop?

Choose one? Which one?
Do I have the resources
to complete it?
How much do I need to do ... at all?

Tao speaks:
Do nothing,
and you will accomplish everything.

I need a personal assistant.

The Last Line.....

If you have trouble believing in anyone or anything, 

at least believe in yourself, 

and in that, 

you believe in everything.
