The Window

More than ever now

My life

A stained glass window

Of interconnecting facets

All I have seen

All I have felt

All I have known

How can I make sense of this kaleidoscope

Of light and shade

Am I the sum of all these parts

A patchwork cemented in time and place

Yet, when examined, it seems

I am no more than

The play of light through a window

Focus words for meditation and contemplation

composure ~ a tranquil manner; calmness 

constant ~ unchanging, dependable, continuous 

concord ~ inner balance and outer harmony 

change ~ constructive personal growth; improvement

Constant

~

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

balance, growth, hope, love

What we learn from
What we nurture and grow
What stand we take
These three things define us
And shape our world
