Watch me juggle

I throw it up in the air

I have it under control

Seem to not have a care

I'm making it happen

Always on the go

the balls keep flying

I have it in a flow

More and more get added

the juggling moves faster

what if I drop one?

This could be a disaster

Why do I keep this pace?

It seems I have to, right?

I'd love to put some down

it would make me light

The wrench gets thrown

I lose all my grips

I'm out of control

my perfect flow has slip...

Who am I?

I am a collection, 

a masterpiece of careful 

creations and contributions. 

There are so many pieces 

of experiences, places, people, 

I feel like a stained glass window 

with many parts making up the whole. 

They are colorful and 

many sizes - purples, blues, 

greens, and greens, 

they make up a picture. 

The picture of me.  

So when you see me, 

you see my parts as a whole. 

But when you step back 

and look, you'll see that 

I am many things that 

make up the my ...

I am strength;

Overcoming the hurt,

the challenges, the trials of life. 

My shoulders hold it all,

even more than I thought I could.

I am determination;

Focusing on the future,

pushing ahead, forging forward.

My voice roars as the lion,

louder than I thought I could.

I am beauty;

Comfortable in my skin,

Singing my song, writing my lyrics

My soul stands confidently in my truth,

firmer than I thought I could.

I am happiness;

Seeing past the tears to joy,

embracing ligh...

Sometimes it takes

all the courage inside

your heart, soul

and worried mind

to just go for it.

You have to dig deep,

past all the fear,

the naysayers in your mind,

the places that warn you

and just go for it.

It may take more time

that you want it to take

but with each step

that you shakily take

you make sure

to just go for it.

Watch the foundation

being built, brick by brick.

It's building high and strong.

It's happening because

you decided to just go for it.

There will be times you will

slip and fall back

don...

You.

Yes, You.

A light, a beauty.

You have that special way.

There is no one like you.

The world would not turn

quite as well without you.

You.

Yes, You.

Moments with you are gifts.

You blaze a path where you walk.

Seeing things no one else can see.

Being a part of the all

with just your smile.

You.

Yes, You.

You are deeply loved.

Open your heart to what's offered.

Others delight in your happiness.

You make a difference

by speaking, listening and being.

You.

Yes, You.

H...

Find your peace
Be in the center
More than you know
This place is yours

Be the owner
Over the others
Blend with the Universe
Rise above the rest

Experience the Bliss
The childlike wonder
Draped in stars
Followed by overwhelming light

More to it all
Open your eyes
You can grasp it
And make it real

It’s all about you
Where you find it
Where you keep it
What’s in your soul

Look there now
Don’t be afraid
There are magnificent sights
Waiting to be seen.

The Wheel will turn 

it is inevitable 

it will bring you up 

and push you down

The Wheel of Change 

it's at the core of our lives 

wait for the spin 

it comes back around again

Part of the life's cycle 

is to move through the joy and pain 

the wheel may slow down 

but it will never stop, never fear

There may be times

when the Wheel doesn't move fast enough 

you wonder when it will turn 

you wonder why you're stuck 

But when things seem to be at...

The Burning.
It started from a spark 
that I didn’t know existed
moving through quickly, 
even painfully
as I grieved a loss
I wasn’t quite sure of at that moment
but the damage was done
The Burning.
It all seems so clear
that what was had is lost
when it is crisp and distorted
as it fades away into something new
something no longer recognizable
The Burning.
I try to cling to it 
but it becomes too hot to hold
and I see it flying away from fingertips
It no longer has a form
it just has re...

I lost my way, I think.

Where am I?  How did I get here?

This wasn't the plan I had.

I see the road, it looks familiar

but it's not the road I chose.

I don't understand why I have to go this way.

All of a sudden, I turned and I was here.

Looking at a landscape

and seeing only the flaws.

It is going to take forever to get back, I think.

I've lost my way, I can't see an easy turn.

Standing, waiting for someone to come save me.

They will right? 

Even thought my dreams got in the way of realit...

As she rests
 she lies quietly

But her mind is nothing but quiet

Those thoughts race

She worries, anticipates,

thinks about what is coming up next

Before tomorrow comes

It’s an exercise in mental jumping jacks

And while she thinks she is resting

she is exhausted but asking for a sign

Then she feels a gentleness

A softness nothing like of earth

the feathers wrap her like a blanket

of warmth and love

Holding her, comforting her

letting her rest, soothing her mind

whispers that "...
