Be keen
Be ardent
Be earnest in your zeal for better heart, more soul.
Find passion in all that you devote yourself to, breathe for.
Live avidly.
Live whole.

Meditations
Harmonics
- Image: John Whitney
As the sound of sorrow multiplies
So does the song of hope.
As fear reverberates
So can circles of compassion.
As hate amplifies,
So does love.
We can choose.
Which harmonics
To make ours.

Counter-Spike!
Dhammakaya Temple, Thailand: 100,000 Monks Praying for Peace, (Luke Duggleby)
There’s a spike in crime. There’s a spike in hate. There’s a spike in divisive talk around the country, world, the internet.
There’s a spike in violence, a spike in stress, a spike in power-hunger, a spike in blame.
Let’s spike a counter-spike, to douse the flames.
Let us spike in kindness. Let’s bring a spike in care. May a spike in love envelop everywhere. …

May You Be Jolted
May you be jolted into awareness.
May your heart slide ajar to the world.
May you see with kind eyes.
May your love shake
The very foundations
Of soul.
May your spirit thrust wisdom
Of long known compassion
Into all that you are
And all that can join you
At the core of the call
To be more,
To be all,
To be whole.

The Way Up
Find your way up.
Even if it does not take you
In straight line
Or all the way to
Summit.
Find your way up.
Through twist and turns
Through tears and woe
Through long forsaken roads
Of endless
Wandering.
Find your way up.
Through dark pre-dawn
Through moonlit nights
Through the innumerous
Unsheltered
Evenings.
Find your way up.
Reach deep
Climb high
Into yourself
Into the core
Of heart
And spirit
Knowing.

Possibility

I don’t know if I can
I don’t know if I can’t
My life flows in the spaces
Between heart and mind
As I wait to unfold
Into what will evolve
Around corners
Behind bumps
Where possibility
Stands.

Champion Compassion
Champion compassion, not judgment.
Hold close kindness rather than disdain.
Treasure connection over hierarchy.
Prize intention above gain.
Cherish empathy, for it will nourish.
Uphold truth …
Remember
Learn.
Protect hearts, and peace will follow.
Defend the weak, and they’ll be strong.
Nurture hope, and it will grow sturdy.
Safeguard the Earth
Where
All
belong.

Ascend
Cavedale. Hope Valley, UK
Conquer worry, vanquish panic
Climb peaks of improbability
And do not let what is or isn’t feasible
Take the best of what
Is possible.
Master hope
Defeat all hate
Into compassionate submission.
Ascend into yourself
As you were meant to be:
A part of all that is
Uniquely interconnected
No better and no less
Than any other who draws breath.
