A Sanctuary of Human Qualities
The Forgiving mind
To be free from the past.
To meet the future with the all of me.
This love I can offer myself.
​
Understanding,
Letting go.
Within the warmth of knowing
That I am no longer there.
​
Reforming wisely my ways.
Qualities of renewal, crafted from within.
Embued with the gift of new perception.
Looking Again
Hope might ask:
Where are the ceremonies that celebrate with gratitude, the air they breathe?
​
Where are the ceremonies that celebrate with reverence, the fact of water,
in the glass to drink?
​
Where are the daily marks of
great acknowledgement
about the properties of sleep,
of laughter, of memory, of touch?
​
Patience might reply:
When they slow down
they see it and they feel it
and their lives are rich with value.
​
Respect might add:
If they would look again, re-spect,
they could find such change -
the fullness that they long for,
and the sense that they belong.
​
​
Not Perfect
Am I so pleased to know
it never will be so.
This idea of perfection,
but a dream.
​
Settled then am I,
to imperfect be.
Learning as I go.
​
Making right from wrong.
Creating paths of light,
for those yet to come.
