The Winter Rose

Let love bloom in your heart

A winter rose

By spring it will be a bouquet

By summer it will be a glory

By autumn it will set seed

And then you can show others

How to grow a winter rose

The Heart Whisperer

You won't notice the difference at first

Just the smallest of change

Quieter than the breath of a candle

A ripple across a pool

Nothing to see here

But you will see it

Later rather than sooner

Long time later

It will be clear

I was there with you in that midnight place

Though you don't remember

I will always be there for you

Now, in the sunlight you laugh

Putting it all behind you

Moving forward, stronger than before

A bright bowl full of hope

There was something someone once said...

And you will wonder who it was

And I will smile and say

It must have been the heart whisperer

Be More Jesus

Here was a person who drew people to him with compassion and loving kindness. Who eased pain and suffering and offered hope to everyone. He was kind, friendly, caring and happy, what more could you want to be? Prescribe yourself a dose of happiness and be more Jesus.

Looking for Inspiration?

The other week I was looking for a little creative inspiration and this fragment of a mystic poem found its way to me. I had almost forgotten that, we are, of course, all inspiration for each other. So I shall pass it forward here.  Thank you!

'Be a lamp, or a lifeboat or a ladder.
Help someone's soul heal.
Walk out of your house like a shepherd.'
Rumi
