The Sky is so Vast!

" Great events

make me quiet and calm;

it is only trifles

that irritate my nerves. "

                           Queen Victoria

My heart is so tiny- 

but the Love it contains

reaches to the skies.

" The way is not in the sky.

The way is in the heart. "

                                    Buddha

" We shall draw from 
the heart of suffering 

itself the means of 
inspiration and survival.  "

                Winston Churchill

We each paddle our skin canoe.

Conditions change day to day,
minute to minute.

Will there be a paradise cove, 
surrounded by a loving reef,
containing sweet water?

Unseen, a Helper paddles behind us.
The waters around us are tipped
with the gold of Spirit.

But life's brine
brings on a mighty thirst;
so paddle, paddle. . . 
rest and paddle some more!

Like that clown punching-bag

somehow I return upright

to peace and beauty every time.

(Eventually)

You are not alone.

Sometimes it just takes us 

a little while to feel good again,

to stop focusing on all the "issues"

and to rediscover

the eternal hum of loving truth

underlying everything.

Perhaps all I need

is to rest a while,

to dream,

to stare,

even to hide away.

Isn't that how friends are made?

By being yourself?

Let's be human together!

Let's make this

a day of heart and

of new beginnings:

I salute you, 

my friend!

Life is made of circles,

of seasons, 

of weather inside 

and weather out there.

Let's ride the Comfort Spiral

together!

And if you have the time,

leave me a comment.

For we are blessed 

to feed each other.

           Warmly,  Cloudia
