How We Grow

Today I talked to you.

Your words were gentle,

Your embrace was warm,

You have always loved me.

I strayed from You,

and not on purpose

but rather I tried to do things

all on my own.

But You're always here,

and I can choose

to let You help and guide me.

There is nothing wrong  

with needing help.

At the end of the day

it's how we grow.

Thoughts

Thoughts and words

merit a certain responsibility.

Thoughts live in our mind,

and consciously or unconsciously

manifests into being.

Today, I will be aware of what I'm thinking,

why I'm thinking 

and how others will feel

with the my thoughts.

Today...I choose to think of compassion,

humbleness, compassion and love.

I See You Again

I see you again,

hiding in the shadows...

present so only I can see.

What should I do with you now?

Is knowing you're there enough?

Should I talk about you with others?

What use would that do.

Maybe the lesson is there…

to see you and not react to you.

You live in your space

as I live in mine.

I Thank Love

Thank you for a second chance.

Thank you for opening my eyes.

and allowing me to heal.

Thank you for keeping me here…

Another year passes

and a deeper appreciation grows.

Life is full of mysteries, complexities,

challenges and joy….

Today, I can say….

Im lucky to be here today,

I'm lucky to feel the love I do,

I'm lucky for so many blessings...

and I thank Love for all of it.

Today I Choose

"Life works out the way it's supposed to..."

I've heard this many times

and wondered, what role if any do I play?

Is life a series of random moments

weaved together by time?

Is karma real?

Are difficulties today because of sins of the past?

And as my mind attempts to get deeper, 

I choose to stop.

Why?

Because I play the most important role

by my choices, my thoughts, my actions…

As simple as, do I want a good day or bad?

It really does start in the mind

and the external is an extension of what's within.

Today I choose to let go, laugh, live, love...

Today I choose to feel joy.
