My
Heart's Rainbow
My soul came to reconnect
with this world on many levels. The way to do this is to have an
open winged heart that is not afraid to forgive and to ask for forgiveness.
One of the great powers
I have is the ability to cut through to, see, and speak the truth.
My great service to the
world is to bring joy and playfulness and to teach the dance of the Tao.
I can do this many ways - through my touch, my voice,my sight, and my heart.
My challenge is to remember
this in the business of life and to keep the balanced rhythm in the great
dance of life which includes all aspects of my being and to not forget
to use the great oneness/stillness as an oasis of love and regeneration
for my spirit."

The Starfish
One day a man was walking
along the beach when he noticed a figure in the distance. As he got
closer he realized the figure was that of a boy picking something up and
gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy,
he asked," What are you doing?"
The youth replied, "Throwing
starfish in the ocean. The sun is up and the tide is going out.
If I don't throw them in, they will die."
"Son", the man said,
"Don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish?
You can't possibly make a difference!"
After listening politely,
the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf.
Then smiling at the man,
he said, "I made a difference for that one!"

When I resolve into the
essence
That I most truly am,
I feel a deep conviction
With every living thing.
For that which most imbues
me
With my identity
Is somehow in the other,
too,
So that when I look around
I see myself - reflected.
Hidden in this union
Is the wonderful discovery
That if indeed the angels
Have wings -
Then so do I.
And if the essence of
a flower
Drifts out on a gentle
breeze -
Then so do I.
And if the silent mystery
Somehow becomes revealed
In tiny dewdrops fair
-
Then so will I.
For every lovely thing
Manifests its essence
Of which I am a part,
So beware,my soul, beware,
And move with gentle
heart,
Throughout this mystic
veil.
For if Love has left
its imprint here -
Then so have I!
"I will
not die an unlived life.
I will
not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
I choose
to inhabit my days,
to allow
my living to open me,
to make
me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen
my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.
I choose
to risk my significance;
to live
so that which came to me as seed
goes to
the next as blossom
and that
which came to be as blossom,
goes on
as fruit."

The Wild
Geese by Mary Oliver
You do not have to be
good.
You do not have to walk
on your knees
for a hundred miles through
the desert, repenting.
You only have to let
the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair,
yours
and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes
on.
Meanwhile the sun and
the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the
landscapes,
over the prairies and
the deep trees,
the mountains and the
rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese,
high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter
how lonely,
the world offers itself
to your imaginatoin,
calls to you like the
wild geese, harsh and exciting,
over and over announcing
your place in the family
of things.
