World Peace

World Peace

I dream of world peace
A world without wars
A world without judgment
Without hatred and arms

I dream of world peace
A world without prejudice
A world without stereotyping
Without hunger and harm

I dream of world peace
A world full of love
Acceptance
Embracing all
Unconditional Love

So be it
And so it is ….
Beginning with me
…. And you?

"The world is what you dream it." (unsure of who said that first) "Be the change you wish to see in the world." ~ Ghandi "I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and in thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world." ~ Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell's translation -- originally Lao-tzu). "Love one another as I have loved you." ~ Bible (John 13:34-35)

Oh heavy trees, covered with snow.
Are you the reason we had no power for 21 hours?
Of course not.
In your world there is no "need" for electricity.
Your branches simply snapped under the weight of heavy snow
Not aiming for our wires and our transformers
They just happened to be in your way

Aiming to exist in harmony

A family of robins
Are having a feast
On what, I do not know
Perhaps the berries from the holly tree
That have fallen in the snow

Heavy Rains

Heavy rains are pouring down
The leaves let go of their trees
As Fall embraces the wet ground
A woven tapestry

Biker Week

Like buzzing bumble bees
“Biker Week” at OC
And I am caught
In the middle of the swarm

Catbirds

Inpatient catbirds
Demanding more seed
Unable to grasp
The promise of

“Later”
