Sight

Posted on February 28, 2019 by eteal

He has but one eye,

But it is big enough to see

The whole world

With love.

Buddhas are like that.

Seek

Posted on February 27, 2019 by eteal

Don’t be afraid to check out every box…

For it is in seeking that we find…

Don’t be afraid to pull others along the path,

It is up to them to hold on or let go.

Obstacles

Posted on February 26, 2019 by eteal

They call it agility,

A sport,

Where your dog must make contacts with every obstacle in the path.

Such is life.

We run, jump, climb…

We race.

May we all be as joyful as our dogs.

At the table beside me

Sat a golden monkey dog

Filled with hope.

Full

Posted on February 22, 2019 by eteal

Across the ancient bricks

A tale to full to tell

Scampers.

A gatherer if possibilities

With a tail telling of balance and joy

Scampers.

.

Then a pause.

.

With tiny paws,

We

Reach for nourishment.

Waiting

Posted on February 21, 2019 by eteal

In the anticipation of love

And belonging

We sit by the door of possibilities.

Unaware of the Love that has our backs.

Walk

Posted on February 19, 2019 by eteal

Reminder,

There always needs to be a moment when you put both feet on the ground

Even while you are still crossing the bridge.

Walk with care,

Run with hope,

Fly with your feet on the ground.

Return

Posted on February 18, 2019 by eteal

Hey cat!

Did you know that

If you just sat

In my chair long enough

I would return?

And you were right,

I did –

Thus it is with all meditation.

We wait for each other,

And again and again we show up.
