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!

Lest we forget
our Elder’s face
Mentor’s teachings
& Steward’s sacrifices
we’re in danger of repeating
mistakes from which we should have learned

Inspired by not forgetting teachings hard learned …

Amid status quo
risk
Surrounded by indifference
care
Among the banal
dream
During dull imagining
aspire
In mediocrity
know you can choose to Be more

Inspired by embracing that the impossible is possible …

Repetition fashions our pathways
Whether we proceed by habit or intention
the first we unconsciously meander
& latter we observe with awareness

Inspired by acting with intention …

Tenaciously upholding our individual dignity
Energised by creativity’s tension
Affirming of our distinct gifts
Motivated by shared future cast

Inspired by the gift of birthing the future within community …

There is only Try
Dismiss cynical voices
that cast envy upon our dreams
Though our aspiration may not be realised
in our doing Revelation awaits

Inspired by committing to effort amidst struggle …

The Poet

Without intention
though upon soil firm we stand
there can be no balance

Inspired by the pursuit to seek harmony within …

Throughout our life’s unfolding
whether by Elder or experience
book or revelation
knowledge is imparted
Wisdom dawns
when we practice our learning

Inspired by the conversation amid experience & information …
