In shadow’d times we tread
amidst tears of smoke & fear
the exiled walk
To illumine the way
light we must be
Shine!
Inspired by smoking guns that threaten light’s beckoning …
Good Morning #Winnipeg
When certainty
diversity silences
walls dignity divide
May voices
justice impassioned
speak
Inspired by courage in the face of oppression
during the peace in the Advent season …
Peace’s pervasive potential promise
isn’t conflict silent
it’s conflict in conversation
without violence’s venality
Inspired by promise always present & highlighted during the peace of the Advent season …
From here to there
migration’s journey
from what was
to what might be
May open doors
welcome
as we’ve been
welcomed
Inspired by hope in the face of fear & doors that are opened to the Stranger, as once was done for u
Good Morning #Winnipeg
Joy abundant:
Emboldens
courage in fear’s midst
Embodied
oppression accedes
liberation’s gift
Inspired by Advent’s promise of Joy especially in human ambiguity …
Good Morning #Winnipeg
Love
our constant companion
who solidarity emboldens
compassion inspires
in action transforms
Inspired by Advent Love in which action changes lives …
In storied stars & life’s tale
Amidst time’s telling & oral tradition
it is transforming change
that wonder inspires
Inspired by stars captured by Hubble that tell tales …
Love abides
anchors with roots deeply drawn
Love perseveres
possesses wisdom ages’ divined
& unto all freely offered
Inspired by Advent Love to which none are excluded …
As Light dawns
amidst shadows’ embrace
May we awaken
to Love unconditional
that embraces all as One
#ChristmasEve
Inspired by Christmas Eve’s arrival …
As new day dawns
& that which was
becomes that which will be
May our choices
dignity inspire & diversity celebrate
Inspired by the dawn of a New Year …
Your reflections are most welcome!
