What if this is true…

THE WORLD AS ENERGY–CONNECTED

The world is made of energy
matter once thought solid and
true emerges and then dissolves,
an unseen matrix the birth mother

Our thoughts and emotions
the fertile seeds of creation, are
energy and matter entangled
invisible precursors to action,

Time and space are curved
particles and waves are
by-products of the observer,
the unknown humbling

My heart waves are imprinted
by your brain waves
to touch your mind I must
open my heart

We are creators, young
in our understanding, our
future dependent on how quickly
we learn it’s all connected

If this is true, how do I embody it for the highest and best for all?

HOPE

July 3, 2026 by

Where there is hope
We can move forward

Thoughts create
Through their frequency, attracting and reinforcing similar energy
By directing our actions

Thoughts running rampant stop us from being present
They create stress we don’t even know we are carrying

But as we understand the power of our thoughts, there is hope

This Fourth of July notice what you are focusing on.
Is it what you want or are you feeding what you don’t want?
What is the energy? Notice what thoughts tighten your body. Shift by imaging something you like, something that makes you happy or at peace.

Shake your body and dance.

There is hope!

When Sadness Descends

May 7, 2026 by

May is hard. May 12, 2016 my daughter died. A year later, May 22nd, my husband died. Late April this year my cousin’s husband died.

I have friends with serious health issues. I’m losing my energy. I’m losing my relevance in this crazy world of AI and social media.
I’m losing confidence that I can know what is really going on even with 24/7 news. There’s sadness seeing the promotion of violence, the lack of care for the earth and the disrespect for life (human and otherwise) on this planet.

When I try to ignore the sadness, it turns into anger that I project out. I know better but it’s been hard for me to cry it out these days.

May is hard. Yet life, like a river, keeps flowing with it’s losses, gains, and inevitable change.

Just writing this helps me. I exhale and settle into this moment, acknowledging what is for me right now. I’ll let the smile come when it will.

Settling down…I am noticing I am just fine. I’ll let the smile come when it will.

Earth’s Magic

March 15, 2026 by

Spring has sprung
Somewhere deep
In our bodies
hope arises

New beginnings
Beauty emerging
Plantings for food
Warmth of the sun

Life enfolds us
Reminds us of what
We are connected to
Of what is

There are those who are destroying earth’s beauty and damaging life on every level.
Do what you can, but don’t dwell on it.
Don’t take it into your body.
Seek beauty, connectedness, be grateful.
Practice presence with others. See them.
And most importantly, rest in the quiet of your own heart. Know you are loved.

Who am I?

February 20, 2026 by

I am many things
Don’t put me in a bucket of you’re choosing
I am diverse, a little bit of a lot of things

I seek the truth wherever it lies
The truth about I like and don’t like

Even when I don’t like what I’m seeing
Even about me
I am that too

It’s easier to attach and be one thing,
to believe strongly in one thing.

But easy doesn’t reflect my true self,
nor the diversity of all things
So I am grateful.

With every change
Inner and outer

I grow more aware, knowing
I am
We are

One

In honor of the anniversary of my birth.

Time Change

November 3, 2025 by

I gained an extra hour today
Where did it go?

Life speeds by
It’s not about keeping up.

“Love doesn’t require outcomes
just presence”*

“I’m willing to be present
and be God’s love in the world,
however God calls me to”**

Maybe it’s that simple
Even though it’s that hard

More and more I’m listening to my inner voice, and as I do, I find life flows and there is greater peace. I like that.

Stillness

October 6, 2025 by

Words don’t come
Ideas flow through
Then there is silence

There is a space
A quiet stillness
It just is

So different from
The stories, the doings
It’s hard to share

Yet it is who I am right now

From this place of stillness
Need to listen
To connect

My journey continues. I’m learning to be comfortable with stillness; to not feel I have to talk about what’s going on, current or past. It works better when I allow a the words to “arise or not” when I’m with someone. I learning that questions can be more connecting then statements of what I’ve done. I’m not good at asking questions yet. But I will be.

Independence Day

July 4, 2025 by

Be free
Release your judgments that trap you
Into seeing only what you see

Be free
Release the shame felt from the
Judgments of others

Be free
Get to know your body,
Learn to love how you look

Be free
Feel the sadness, fear, the caring
Let the tears flow

Be free
Your worth is not tied to
Having/doing the latest whatever

Be free
Know and love who you are
You’re God’s gift to the world

Be free
Be love
Beloved

Ode to a Tree

May 14, 2025 by

How do you say goodbye to a tree
One that has sheltered you from the sun
Whose roots have mingled with the the earth
Communicating through fungus to other trees
Whose leaves absorbed water, touched the sky
A tree that’s lived it’s life interacting
with everything and everyone around it

How do you say goodbye to a tree
Whose anchored presence calmed you
Who was home to insects, squirrels, birds
Who embodied the interdependence
of all life, giving and receiving
How do you say goodbye

Maybe you don’t,
Instead seek to embody
the tree’s giving and receiving
Learn about your interconnection with all life
And maybe, with love and gratitude,
Plant another one.

(The Pin Oak was diagnosed with Bacterial Leaf Scorch in 2015. It lasted longer then they predicted. We kept pruning the dead limbs until we couldn’t anymore.)

I Forget

March 21, 2025 by

“I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.

My mind is too busy.
My heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
Called to dance
the sacred dance of life.

I was created to smile.
To Love.
To be lifted up
and lift up others.

O’ Sacred One
untangle my feet
from all that ensnares.
Free my soul
that we might
Dance
And that our dancing
might be contagious.”

    -Hafiz
