Sacred
spaces exist
within us. Places we
go to be with the Holy One.
In quiet stillness, in joyful laughter,
in grief and in pain, God is there
within the places of
our hearts we keep
sacred.

Savoir-faire
Quick.
Hurry!
Do not stop.
Why do we rush?
Savor the moments.
Linger over something.
Delight in conversations.
Meander through sweet memories.
You will get done what has to be done.
Taste and enjoy the goodness in your life.
*************************************************************
Savoir-faire from the French means literally knowing how to do.

A Heart Afire
Passion
breeds energy
kindling a boundless
and unquenchable excitement.
What happens to it when the fire goes out?
Embers buried deep in the heart
will glow and reignite
when flamed with new
passion.

Tough Decision
The
weight of
decision
slows down the mind
and burdens the soul.
Trudging through pros and cons
on diverging trails in the
wilderness is arduous work.
Shedding excess weight makes calm
and clear what before was a sure dead end.

Holy Mischief
They
say the
devil is in
the details.
Organization
is important but too
much quells creativity.
A little holy mischief can
vanquish evil spirit and produce
unexpected yet amazing results.

Journey of Discovery
Expectations leave me disappointed
and often wanting for different
outcomes or results. The real growth
lies in the unknown spaces
rich in discovery.
There is mystery
in the journey
that creates
joy and
awe.

Change Without Notice
Life is subject to change without notice.
Things do happen beyond our control
that can turn our lives upside down
and put our stomach in knots.
Breathe in and out deeply.
We do what we can.
All will be well
trusting faith
to guide
us.

The Motive of our Madness
It is the intention of our action
that matters and not the method of
our madness. It is important
to just show up even if
we are not at our best
or top of our game.
Being perfect
is really
not the
goal.

Living the Future in the Moment
We cannot walk through life facing backward.
Spin around and look toward the future,
living in the present moment
and letting the past go past.
Who we are is rooted
in experience
lived but does not
define who
we will
be.
**************************************************************************
I was inspired to write this poem when listening to Jason Mraz sing “Living in the Moment”.

Living the Questions
Living
the questions
requires the patience to
embrace the unknowing and love
the answers as they are revealed to you
in the fullness of time and space.
Do not search for answers.
They are found in
living.
**************************************************************************
Inspired by the following passage by Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters to a Young Poet:
I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday, far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
