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!

Within this soil
Upon this land
where Jack Pine tall stands
& maple leaves flutter
treaties stitch tapestry diverse

Inspired by a dream called Canada …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
In lives trauma shattered
words fail
shadows deep
As platitude tempts
May we but witness be

Inspired by power to witness …

Where hate emboldens death’s dealers
from Baghdad & Dhaka to Istanbul & Orlando
May we bear Love’s light of peace

Inspired by Love’s promise …

It’s a big
bold
beautiful world
Where magnanimity & selfishness wrestle
& Choice beckons us toward wisdom dawning

Inspired by a pale blue dot …

That which we see
changes not
until first deep we dig
into the rich soil we are
that awaits to transform
the world

Inspired by soil moist …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
Work there will always be
Compassion ever needed
So on this Sabbath
breathe
know enough
we are

Inspired by faithful work …

In space
silent & sacred
when last did yourself sit
listening to how your harmony
cascades within Universe’s song?

Inspired by the song we are …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
In parks & fields
boulevards & lanes
unreported everyday lives
celebrate neighbours we are

Inspired by the untold stories of neighbours …

We may
plan & plot
prepare & ponder
the yonder path
Often
in the step unprepared
awakening stirs that which will be

Inspired by the untold stories of neighbours …

Within reflection
shadow’s side waits
Deeply peer
mirror’d portal
The Self
longing to be whole
integration beckons

Inspired by reflection’s promise …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
More than
survive or strive
We are companions blessed
nurture entrusted that Creation thrives

Inspired by trees talking …

Letting go
paradox’s journey
to letting in
Clinging unto baubles precious
obscures dawning potential abundant

Inspired by letting go …

In fear & anger’s narrative
Love awakens
that within you lies the Beloved
so in the Other
Beloved is met there too

Inspired by the Beloved we are …

Good Morning #Winnipeg
As sol apex meets
& summer lavish lingers
May Sabbath days
renew each to action justice be

Inspired by Sabbath & sun …
