MORNING THOUGHTS

       MORNING THOUGHTS

          Listening to Sibelius,

          not seeking ecstasy,

          just a balance of being,

          gift on temporary loan,

         thinking about

         the three great

         monotheistic religions:

         Judaism, the oldest,

         but with by far

         the fewest members today. 

         Christianity , with over

         two billion believers,

         but divided into

         multiple denominations.

.

         Islam, almost as many

         Muslims as Christians,

         pious, peace-loving people,

         but a healthy percentage

         of followers who think it

         a holy act

         to kill anyone

         who does not accept

         Allah as God. 

        The world is watching,

        as well as Belial.

RESURRECTION

RESURRECTION

Leave the land of dreams,
travel the hypnopompic road
to full consciousness,
and  awake in a world
of never-beforeness—
no yesterday baggage,
no tomorrow worries,
nothing but now,

your now,
so do a dance,
sing a song,
salute the sun,.
await the moon,
wander through
fields of freshness,

and breathe
in rhythm
with the universe,
ever grateful
for the beauty
of creation.
