A gift from me to you,
While we were in
Hawaii, I came upon this tree. Look how the trunk split off. The roots remain
strong keeping life flowing through the tree. Though this tree bends, it does
not break. The tree continues to grow, with life and strength. I pray though
moments in life may bring us to bend, keeping our faith as strong roots we will
not break. We are never given more than
we can handle.
Taking off
the Mask…
Oh the light is getting dim.
The hope at the end of the
tunnel seems too hard to reach.
The light is getting dim.
Drained and tired, cup
empty.
No seminar or motivational
speaker can ignite this light which is dim.
What words of wisdom what
grand advice?
Day in day out running on
the treadmill of life
only to remain in the same
spot.
No sandy beaches or grand
horizons am I seeing right now.
The light dim, but you do
not want to hear about my despair,
you do not want to know of
my heartache.
Joy is the mask you want me
to wear.
Are we what people see?
Is that all there really is,
making sure we put on a grand show.
Who are we here to please?
Day in day out running on
the treadmill of life getting nowhere.
Do you really know me?
Could you handle what goes
on in my head?
The complexities, the
realities, the questions, the real.
I am more than a gentle
breeze on a summer day,
more than a perfect orange
sunset.
I am more than the peace you
find in the early morning when the birds wake, I am more
I am tired, I am weak, I am
joy, I am strong, I am more
Tears, sorrow, love,
yearning, quiet, loud, sexy, sadness and beauty.
Complexity is what I am and
more.

Stillness…Quiet Moments of A’Ha Reflection
