Oceanic Experience

A Moment of Grace

2011-11-24T00:47:00.000-08:00

Life's just a drop in the ocean
A single drumbeat in the wind's restless song
A spark lost in the sun's maelstrom
A moment of grace between the cradle and grave

A Beautiful Dream

A beautiful dream like laughter in summer
A ripple of water over stones
A moment of silence before the song starts
A voyage home

A forest caught in the late rainstorm
A shiver from the open window
A cobweb of rainbows in the sunlight
A moment alone

And where the skies and waters meet
Pour my eyes to sleep
I'll wait and see

I'll wait and see a beautiful dream

Peace is...

2009-02-09T05:44:00.000-08:00

~

Peace is a hope you can fill your heart with
So there's no room for violence, hate and anger

Peace is a feeling you can share with everyone
All it takes is a happy, loving and honest attitude

Peace is a gift I would love to give to you
But I will need your help to build a world
Where we can celebrate peace every day
Until then

Peace is a smile you can wear for me
On World Peace Day

No matter how bright the light shines
We'll never escape the danse macabre

Constant

2009-02-09T05:28:00.000-08:00

Finding a rhythm
Through the changing seasons
A wider view from within
Beyond here and now
But still a part of it

The tide flows out and returns
Leaves fall, blossom to fruit
All is change
Yet remains constant

Over the years - this journey
I have walked these steps
Taken to find a place inside

The quiet spaces
The loud ringing sounds -
Thoughts and words

All and nothing

River/Ocean
Start/Finish
Life/Death

~

The flow of the water is always to the sea, whether over rapids or through slow pools, the journey is the life of the river and the ocean is where the river becomes one with all rivers, regardless of where they started or what they became.

What we learn from
