Sometimes nature itself
provides the canvas
on which to dry
a collage.

On gloomy days
That sap the light
And leave your soul forlorn
In life’s overcast,
Remember:
Above the darkest, densest clouds
Still shines
The brilliant sun.

She lights up every room with her smile.
He effervescents joy in a dimple.
She casts love spells all around her.
He melts everyone to a puddle.
She makes your heart sing.
He ropes your soul in.
Their laughter makes right
Glow full bright
From a fizzle.
Their giggles shine rainbows
On sorrow
And drizzle.
They heal hope.
Luminesce peace.
They remind why it matters
We take care
To Insist.

We all need reprieve
From war
From cruelty
From violence
Driven by power
Urged by greed.
We all need reprieve
From sorrow
From loss
And worry
A release
From need.
May we reach out in care
To spare
Another
And let decency
And hope
Be freed.

Find a moment to reflect
The good
The promising
The delightedly
Delightful:
The you
You knew
And
Perhaps
forgot.

Breathe in the scent of spring
The fragrance of new growth
Of verdant leaves
Of rain
Of flowers.
Let new life fill your lungs
Your heart
With light
Perfumed by sun
And sky
And sudden showers.
Breathe in your fill
Of hope
Of splendor
Stock up your mind
With awe
To brighten
Any dreary hour.

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. …

In every time of
Hardship
There is a
Measure of
Hope.
In every time of sorrow
There is a
Measure of
Love
For what was
Lost.
In every uphill struggle
There is a
Measure of
Vistas
To be reached.
In every battle
There
Must
Be
A measure of
Understanding
For the
Absolute
Necessity
Of
Peace.
