Winter Falls
After a cloudy day,
After the white gray skies
No matter how hard the rain falls
No matter how chilly the fog is, the clouds will go away.
It is there just for the moment.
It is there for the time being.
Soon the sun will break through.
Soon sadness will leave.
Only blessings and peace will remain
Only beautiful memories will linger
Always and Forever.

The Sun Life’s Nourishment
The Sun
Life’s Nourishment
Learn from our sun
It is light.
Look at the beauty in the world.
It is a creative force of great strength,
courage and hope.
At the start of day,
Close your eyes,
Bask in its light,
Imagine your soul ascending alongside it.
Without the sun’s golden light,
the spirit suffers.
When we take time to bask in the sun our spirit soars.
radiant in its Blessings.

Scent
Samuel Johnson
Carefree
In the space of deep breath
I am in a restful place
peace and tranquility
Experiencing stillness
and contentment.
I am carefree.
The distant past
The distant past
Turn toward the sun to celebrate what
seems more than a piece of a distant past.
Honor the joys of summertime
And immerse in its pleasures.
Wake up with the sunrise,
take a day trip to the beach,
indulge in an ice cream cone,
and quietly embrace nature’s tenderness.
The season will pass quickly,
but while it remains,
revel in the richness of life
dance in the season of light.

Growth
I will lead you to undisturbed green pasture and feast in peace.
We will build on your weakness,
Till they become your strong points,
before the north winds come.
Face your challenges and
Don’t let it stop you.
Don’t give up.
Look closely
And you will learn how to dance in the rain.
