4.20.10

In the end, all anybody ever really wants is to feel loved.

This desire drives decisions,

embeds itself into our psyches,

it even tells us that without love we are nothing.

The Truth in that is dynamically present.

Without Love, we are nothing.

But being alive in this world means

that Love flows within us

and around us, always. And so

The energy of Love is at our fingertips--

if only we look around and breathe it in.

4.3.10

And the rains came

heavy in a downpour washing clean

the darkness: the anger and pain

and she looked into the fierce wind

smiling--acknowledging the power

that was always outside and yet, within

satisfaction and empathy took the reigns

steering along a rough and ragged path

to find out that what is--

is what has always been

but she never saw it before

and she laughed, tears streaming down her face

dropping into the soil, feeding the hungry Earth
