Built upon the losses
of all we tried and failed
The loss turned into learning
and that’s how we prevailed

I’ve made the mistake
and suffered the price
Now let the guilt go
or pay for it twice

Persist through the droughts
Move forward and know
Where dry desert ends
Green grasses grow

Looking back at the loss
While wearing the bruise
Am I victim or hero
…with my actions I choose

Either conform
into what you can see
Or transform
into what you can be

Feedback is a diamond
freshly from the earth
Hard to see the sparkle
in that state
Yet polish off the edges…

Grasping for love
propels it away
Giving with love
attracts it to stay

I walk through art-filled halls
of what has come before
dreaming of the future
in my heart
Then, I turn and climb the stairs…

This forest is enchanted
with a million shades of green
and in the small are galaxies
of endless wondering

While shortcuts
can make changes fast
It’s habits
that make changes last

Be what you can be
and do what you can do
For what you surely seek
is surely seeking you

The “now”
Is like a peacock in flight
A million tiny miracles
suspended alight…
