As Sol rises
on the eastern horizon
rose-fingered filaments
dress the new day
with possibilities unique
In morn’s rebirth
what we do matters most
Inspired by embracing a new day’s resurrection …
Sometimes it’s hard
kind that makes steel brittle
& stone shatter
Grit
that unseen endurance
perseverance’s resilience
making impossible possible
Inspired by finding the way to get it done …
Passion dispels apathy
& reveals wonder to be
To move from fancy’s realm
to that which Is
requires Courage’s embrace
to ignore tempting Cynicism
Inspired by courage’s embodiment of passion’s vision …
In Stability’s illusion
change constantly unfolds
In Complacency’s narrative
transformation ever unfolds
In life’s thread
our choices weave guide
Inspired by choosing to be immerses in wonder’s wave …
What we read
media we view
music with which we immerse
determines how we think
& what we think
creates the world
On this day
what shall we create?
Inspired by questioning how we think …
Life’s dancefloor
As we glide to life’s rhythm
& listen to community dream
not in jig’s completion
but our collective steps
that joy is revealed
Inspired by enjoying every step along the way …
Heart’s entrance
revealed in Gratitude’s posture
Soul’s passage
unveiled with Humility’s apology
There’s power in the words
we intentionally bear
Inspired by the words we aloud & silently speak …
Lest we falsely intend
to deceive ourselves
about life’s complexities
rose’s grace is protected
by the teaching of thorns
& thus beauty balanced
Inspired by lessons that thorns offer …
No surprise I’m sure, #5 resonated for me, not just because of the music aspect but also the consumption of media. I’ve been deliberate about limiting my intake of news media lately, and find that helps my spiritual barometer to keep a better reading. Thank you, friend Richard.
Happy it is well received, Steve. I like the word ‘consumption.’ I have found it a helpful way to understand what we do in the digital realm: if that makes sense?
It does, indeed.
