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!

Surrounded by those who care
upheld by others who listen
bolstered by those who believe
In communities such as these
our dreams possible be

Inspired by dreams communities make possible …

Be not guile’d by perfection’s lull
Within us
through stumbling’s teaching
mistake’s wisdom
& failure’s learning
our transformation begins

Inspired by dispelling perfection’s illusion …

In learning
how do we discern doing?
In listening
how do we recognise being compassion?
In acting
how do we respond to intelligence’s dawn?

Inspired by not just learning but doing …

Pennies shine
dogs bark
distractions interrupt
Yet the journey beckons
the goal summons
the aspiration inspires
Focus for dreams come true

Inspired by destinations attained …

In depth’s dark
loss deep
there it lies
whispering
echoing
reflecting
Doubt not as loneliness subsumes seems
Light ever beckons to you & me

Inspired by light’s refraction in darkness …

Reward
not treasure buried
bling blang worn
nor pennies shiny
With life’s intention
reflection explored
reward recognised
is what we become

Inspired by recognising we are the reward …

Spy upon Creation
with wonder’s awe
humility’s inspiration
reveal colours unimagined
In our awakening
reveals diversity
reality’s plumb line

Inspired by colouring outside the lines …

It is the hills climbed
not summits attained
It is the rapids traversed
not water placid
Where character is defined
integrity crystallised

Inspired by success reframed …
