“So likewise thou in all thy speech
Swerve never from the path of Truth”
Buddhism in Translation
The Path of Truth invites me
To step upon in Now
To walk it daily, Know it
To let it show me how
To tune my mind to Goodness
To fill my heart with Love
To walk it daily, Know it
To live life from above
Above the fears and worries
Above the pettiness
To walk it daily, Know it
To discard emptiness
The Path of Truth invites me
To step upon in Now
To walk it daily, Know it
To let it show me how
To sing and dance with Freedom
To laugh at Life out loud
To walk it daily, Know it
To Feel that I’m allowed
Allowed to Be Magnificent
Allowed to have it all
To walk it daily, Know it
As Blessings ever fall
The Path of Truth invites me
To step upon in Now
To walk it daily, Know it
To this I take a vow
To Breathe into my center
To let Peace speak my word
To share Love freely, Know it
Let only Truth be heard
It Is So and So It Is
So BE It
Peace & Blessings
Patterns that move through the ages of time
Steady and true to their course
Creation unending and birthing anew
Revealing a Powerful force
The Sun ever-rising from out of the East
And steadily climbing above
Then setting aflame the view in the West
Unchangeable labor of Love
The Stars set like diamonds across the vast sky
Giving Light where once there was none
In a rhythm that’s ageless the Moon joins the dance
No variableness in the ways of the One
The butterfly lifting on breezes that Free
Transcending an earth-bound cocoon
The melting and mingling of the old and the new
To Life’s rhythm completely attune
My consciousness wakes, my heart opens wide
I’m seeing where once I was blind
The rhythms and patterns Unyielding and True
Surrendering to Love, I’ve aligned
Patterns that move through the ages of time
Steady and true to their course
Creation unending and birthing anew
Revealing One Powerful force
It Is So and So It Is
Peace & Blessings
“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season, his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. “ Psalm 1:3
The acorn falls on fertile ground
It sprouts and seeks the sun
Tiny roots are taking hold
New life has just begun
The soil rich and giving
The water full of life
Rooted now and growing
It overcomes all strife
The tiny seedling stretches
As seasons come and go
It broke its shell to now become
The mighty oak we know
All greatness is encoded
Within the very core
Break free, take root and flourish
Breathe now, and live for more
Magnificence, your birthright
Brilliance shining through
Expand your Goodness daily
To your own Self be true
It Is So and So It Is
So BE It
Peace & Blessings
“Wear gratitude like a cloak, and it will feed every corner of your life.” Rumi
Gratitude is draped upon
My shoulders like a cloak
It feeds each corner of my life
Once sleeping, I awoke
Gratitude is walking
Down every path and way
It holds my hand inviting
The Miracles to stay
Gratitude is washing
My consciousness and mind
It clears the view, reflecting
The Goodness that I find
Gratitude is filling
My cup that overflows
The Stream of Circulation now
Moves Freely as it grows
Gratitude is living
Within my heart and soul
Creating here a heaven
A treasure house untold
Gratitude is draped upon
My shoulders like a cloak
It feeds each corner of my life
Once sleeping, I awoke
It Is So & So It Is
Peace & Blessings
” All is the effect of all, one universal Essence.” Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad
The ocean spreads before me
A wide expansive sea
Dive in, I tell myself again
Go deep and become Free
And in these depths of Wonder
With Silence beckoning
The whispers of Eternity
Invite my listening
One Universal Essence
Is at the heart of All
Allow these Peaceful waters
To wash away the walls
The walls of separation
Locked in, without a door
The walls that fear built hopelessly
Illusions evermore
The walls built to protect you
From an enemy unknown
The walls, now prison to your Soul
Fall down, as water washes stone
Emerging from the ocean
The Pearl of Wisdom held
Within my heart, Love’s opening
Inspired and compelled
One Universal Essence
The All, ever at hand
Its Presence never absent
This is the Promised Land
It Is So and So It Is
Peace & Blessings
“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.” Lao Tzu
To walk the open road
To journey far and wide
To climb the highest peak
With Goodness at your side
The road will change directions
The journey will unfold
The climb will move through valleys
Have Courage, you’ll be told
This is a road to savor
A journey worth your time
A climb that’s awe-inspiring
With Peace, you’ll know Divine
Walk roads quite unfamiliar
No journey’s set in stone
Don’t focus on arrival
With Love, you’re traveling home
It Is So and So It Is
