Every month I tweet #MicroPoetry! In 140 characters, they are part prayer, thought, reflection, challenge or something in-between. I look forward to sharing them with you and hope that they may lead to reflection, musing and perhaps even discussion!

Values old
in acts’ doing
journeys’ unfolding
goals’ accomplishing
With each step & trial
work perseverance requires
focus fruition formed

Inspired by perseverance’s tenacity …

Happiness
An invitation to know
when ‘no’ must reply
To fully human be
requires recognising what must be let go
so distractions no longer be

Inspired by the model of Jean Vanier …

as disciple’s discern

Inspired by discerning between outcomes & possibilities …

intention directs

If not

Translating aspiration to actualisation
resolve resolution requires

Inspired by avoiding shortcuts that goals distract …

Attainment & ascension
ends not
upon pinnacle’s reach
Each summit
upon which we arrive
is one unfolding step
toward our dawning awakening

Inspired by each small step forgotten upon awakening’s journey …
