Take a break from the city
From the din
From the crowds.
Walk yourself into quiet
Find a park
Riverside.
Turn the clamor to low
Let your breath
Ebb and flow.

Enlightenment

May you have your eyes wide open
To truths
Your heart had always known
But some wish you’d forget:
Love holds far more power
Than hate;
Light illuminates
What darkness might aggravate;
Empathy is the only real energy
Of making great.

What To Expect
“I don’t know what to expect,” he said.
“Expect the unexpected,” the old woman smiled.
His smooth brow wrinkled,
Unconvinced but polite.
Her smile grew.
She patted his arm and sighed.
She, too, had been a greenhorn
To life
Intent on knowing
What cannot be known
Before experiences
Arrive.

Egret Regret

Some photo challenges are worth more than one dip into the creative well … And this week’s Glow deserves a second-helping. Here comes:
I love this photo of egrets in the emptied fishpond near my sister’s house. The palm sentinels in the background, marking a line between sea and dug up sand. The birds congregating at the end of day in the shimmery wet portion of the pond, pecking for what small critters and flying insects can be found. How some egrets linger, forlorn, over the exposed bits, perhaps waiting for a change of tide. Are they harking for the times just passed, when their ‘lake’ glittered with fins? Are they holding out hope — as water, and alas, not sparkling scales, reflect the soon departing sun — for better days and the return of plenty to dine on?

Set Free!

Set free the light that’s in your eyes
The dreams you birthed
But hid
In fear of failure.
Set free the path yet to unveil
The hopes
The awe
The wonder.
Walk tall into the day to come
Dance free toward your
Future.

Express to Play

Take the express train
To a fun-filled day
Recall the awe
Of speed and sway
And hold on to
The gift of play.

Aglow

Beaches with sprawling, gentle surf are among my favorite things in the world. Long, shallow waves that coat expanses of sand evoke an instant relaxation response in me, and this glowing photo taken in Australia is no exception. The light on the water deepens the magic and transports me to time before time and this very moment in time, where the steady breath of the ocean pulses the very heartbeat of Earth and moon and sun.

Risky Paths
Photo: Ofir Asif
It is okay to see the risk
And not step
Fully
Into it.
Courage does not always
Mean
Precarious
Heaving ho.
Perilous paths
Indeed at times
Need forging,
But aren’t
All
Tests of
True bravery,
When often enough
The careful way
Around
Is a daring
Opportunity.

Trusty
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
Don’t be fooled by appearance,
Bravado
Or pomp.
Fiduciaries of trust
Aren’t those loudly declaring
The draining of swamps,
But those who watch out
For dereliction of duty
Against trolls
Full of tromp.
