As you go about your day today,
remind yourself
that in each and every moment,
you are choosing.
Always choosing…
a smile over a frown,
the ‘right’ over the ‘wrong’
action over rest,
to pause instead of race.
And in every moment’s choice,
there is no better that can be done.
A moment chosen,
a moment taken.
A moment of peace, of joy, of happiness.
each moment, yours to choose.
Did you know
that you too
are made of stardust?
A child of the Universe,
no less, made of exactly
the same stuff, as all that IS
Spinning, orbiting, aligning
enjoying your own space,
forging your very own path.
What are you waiting for?
Reach out, reach up for the Stars.
And fly among the heavens.

To find joy in living everyday,
Greet each new sun
with a rapture of wonder
for the promise of infinite adventure
arises with each new day
To find joy in living everyday,
Surrender your completeness
to each count of time
being forever and always
in the present moment
To find joy in living everyday,
Accept and embrace
with open arms and open heart
all interactions, every encounter
each, single, invaluable experience
To find joy in living everyday,
Look for,
in every moment,
an opportunity to help your heart
sing it’s song of bliss
To find joy in living everyday,
Make way for gratitude
and the practise of appreciation
in each and every moment
in every possible way
To find joy in living everyday,
As you prepare for slumber,
Reflect on all of the
wondrous encounters,
and remarkable experiences of the day
Trusting and knowing
that although, there will never be
another day like this one,
you have truly lived, today.
The journey of my dreaming
Takes me places I’ve not yet been
Familiar landscapes and far off beauty
Rugged terrain where adventures beckon
Steep cliffs and sandy banks,
Mountain edges and splashing falls
Breath-taking vistas
I see them all
The journey of my dreaming
Beyond the views my eyes can see
My heart feels a longing
For desires that have no name
The measure of satisfaction
That no longer needs to be filled
The over-flowing cup of happiness
Ready, willing, joyfully serving all.
The journey of my dreaming
Through this life is what I see
For in all things that appear physical
In my dreams they first begin
There is no right or wrong
In just how to fill our days
So long they give us comfort
Triumph and bliss, delight for all.
The journey of my dreaming
Takes me through thunderous ways
Dark clouds rolling, high winds howling
Starless nights and endless grey days.
But nothing stays the same forever
There’s time, that always marches on
The dawning of a new day
Brings a new beginning to all.
The journey of my dreaming
Is just what this life has seen
For through the hills and valleys
What a journey it has all been.

Life is meant to be easy
Like the dew that settles
upon the morning grass
And the light, breathless snowflakes
as they drift down from above
Life is meant to be easy
Like a river heading out to sea,
There is no undercurrent,
simply floating on the surface
Letting it all be
Life is meant to be easy
Troubles, worries, confusion,
anger and regret
collectively left at the door
Let there be no hardship ever left in store
Life is meant to be easy
For challenges that may seem
an illusion of trouble
Conjuring all the issues
A tightening at the seams
Life is meant to be easy
Even though it’s not
always easy to see
the paths that are best and
the routes that are not
Life is meant to be easy
For each and every one of us
for in the rhythm and in the dance
it’s all an embracing
of everything, the lot, the whole.
Life is meant to be easy
with sadness and with joy
with trouble or with ease
with adventures and with boredom
all together, all at peace
For everything’s a joyous ride
To leave you asking for more
To want, to give, to share,
To live, to learn, to love
is what it’s meant to be
For nothing is as easy
as living the life you choose
in every moment of every day
Life is meant to be easy
for you, for me, for all.
