Gratitude and Ponderings
1- joy! josh came to visit
2- fixing my iPhone
after trying to sync it
to my pewter
is a challenge
that i shall see
as a gift
how to turn
what seems like a hassle
into an opportunity
for joyous delight
3- in 1905
A DWELLER IN
TWO PLANETS
OR, DIVIDING OF THE WAY
by Phylos The Thibetan
was published
giving me food for thought
channeled by
Frederick Spenser Oliver
(1866-1899)
I have my friend Frank in Canada
to thank
for me reading this now
4- I breathe and feel
the Great-full-ness
of Life flow
through me
5- May peace be in my heart
the tools of love in my hands.
May I remember
we are ONE HEART UNITED,
in Gratitude
blessing our Motherland!!!
6- birds sing their song
filling the air with their
joyous delight
reminding me
to joyously sing
my Soul's song
7- the glories of old
live enshrined in my soul
and make me much
aye, most, of what I am,
influencing my acts
soothing me with their beauty
8- in the record
of the great book of life
the soul
-the forms of the dim,
mysterious past
influence lives,
and forever
9- how may i live in soul and spirit
striving that my labors
may ennoble?
10- when i scan the history of lives
from which i passed through
the portal of the grave
returned to lives
to gaze through the eyes
of different personalities
personalities strung
on a chain,
like pearls upon a thread,
teaching me I AM I!
Smoky, some of these pearls;
black others,
or white
or pink,
aye, some are even red!
Could tears add to their number,
I would have more,
oh! so many more,
for the white ones are so few,
and the smoky,
the black
and the red,
so many.
11- joy! for the taste of
pimento cheese on rye bread

me with
each week
13- joy! for the flutes
in the stand
ever ready
to make music

inspiring my life path

rubs her back and feet
