The riches of the world
The purest, purest gold
The most wondrous of all the treasures we seek
Lie right in our very soul
What To Do When Your Heart Breaks
When you’re heart broken,
Cry until you’re pleased
Cry until you feel your heart bleeding
— Metaphorically! —
Let yourself feel all of it
Right now
Until you’re put up with your tears
For now
Then wipe yourself off
And listen to the tune
Of that very same heart
— Beating —
— Beating —
— Beating… —
Sometimes We Don’t Know To Know
Sometimes we don’t know what to say or do
To comfort a hurting friend
Sometimes all we can do is be there
Hoping that’s enough
Know that’s enough
It is always enough
When we try our best
Empathy
Who has hurt you?
What has caused you pain?
If they only knew
What you went through
If you only knew
What they went through
Maybe then
That’d
Ease
The
Pain
Separation
Sometimes separation
Is the best solution
To come together again
The Birds and the Frogs
In the morning, the birds sing
During the night, the frogs coqui
Each serving its purpose
Each singing its song
Blessing every moment
With a tune to hum!
Thinking vs. Contemplation
When we think too much
We never find a real answer
When we contemplate
We discover the truth for ourselves
Thank You
All the places we want to go
All the adventures waiting at our feet
Yet we have already arrived
At the perfect destination
With no fees!
Isn’t it great?
Isn’t it grand?
To be happy
With no plans?
To be present with life?
And say thank you for Life?
That is the only place
I want to be
The Personal and The Universal
A personal story
Is a universal one
What feels exclusive
Can actually connect everyone
You’d be surprised
If you’d open your mind!
How to Surrender
Leave it to God
Place it on His doorstep
With willing hands
Then step back
Bow your head
Express thanks
Then walk away
Soul Smile
