When we are connected — to our own purpose, to the community around us, and to our spiritual wisdom — we are able to live and act with authentic effectiveness.

Word For The Day…

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose – a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

The Indoor Garden
Although the soul is
in a holding pattern
awaiting the correct door
to be opened to a new season
and it feels as though
there will never be a change
or that there is no real purpose…
In this, the Sun can still shine
upon the soul’s soil and
Living Water can quench the
thirst of the dormant seeds
awakening them to blossom
their beauty with a sweet fragrance
enticing others to come and enjoy
the pleasures of heaven’s garden

Bare Pages, Bare Heart – Prose Poem
Weekend Writing Prompt #36 – Begin
Word Prompt – Begin
Photo Prompt:
As I stare at the bare pages in front of me
I take a deep breath and be still in the moment
with pen in hand I speak the truth from within
the soul must have its voice or suffocate in silence
bringing death to the spirit without a purpose to ignite
In the mist of inspiration whispers are composed
awakening a brilliant artistry to behold
touching the heart of the one who reads the utterances
With the power of the pen and an inner sigh is how I begin
to tell the spiritual journey’s lore of wisdom gained through pain
not with a New Year’s resolution that will remain unkept
instead with a choice each day to release the words unwept
Therefore, there are no expectations to disappoint
only desires that are fulfilled beyond imagination’s point
As I stare at the bare pages before me…
to scribe this poet’s heart for all to see.
