Every Breath Counts

In your daily life
every breath counts

When you pray
When you meditate
every breath counts

When you move
When you sit and be still
every breath counts

When there is breath
There is life
When there is life
There is hope
When there is hope
Anything is possible

Let Them Sleep

walking beneath the trees at night branches hanging low draped and full of slumber

flower heads hanging low 
swing slowly in the wind 

no one is looking the grass beneath the trees 
prefer to lay down on its side 
resting

the wind is still 
the leaves are not blowing
everything seems to be asleep

walk away quietly 
let them sleep

Beautiful Flight

A bird in flight is beautiful 
Not because the bird is trying to be beautiful
A bird just knows to fly
