Sweet Land of Liberty
July 26, 2026
The gleaming leaves of brave green trees standing tall
like freedom marchers all across our glorious land
remind me that standing tall is the way we all were
meant to be--not cowering somewhere in silence
and submission, as it happens when God's advice
is cast aside and the planet's neediest children
are not allowed to live or thrive in the land where
that same God has sent them--really, only a fallen angel
would think or speak otherwise.

Feelings
July 12, 2026
Yes, I am afraid-
There are fears I cannot even explain
And there is hurt
Be it desire, loneliness, yearning.
Once there was anger—now only traces
Then deep new anger
And there is joy
Deep joy born of being in love
Sharing friendship-being Sister
Family bonding
And there is excitement
Newness,
Unexpected adventure
Life opening
Learning
And there is grieving
Good-byes too hard to say
Like dream death and death waiting
And it is all mixed
So many deep feelings
So much within
So deep.

Wind soft feelings of wonder
Gentle Nows of Forever
Forever
Dream Alive
Yes
It is the wild fire moment and I feel
The Yes
I feel the expectation
I feel the excitement
And I feel indeed
I let myself feel
And I am

The Life Dance
June 14, 2026
Now is the Sacred time
Here is the Sacred space.
And I enter knowing
It is the very inner core of being
And Being with
And only here in Being am I one
One with myself-being
One with Being
One with being-with
And here is the dance of my Being
This Life-Dance
The Sacred Dance
Around, within and with me
Is the whisper of Love
The Music of my Dance
The Song of my Soul
This Dance of my Being
And I dance the melodies
The harmony
The rhythm of Love.
And I give my soul in this Song of Love
The Game
May 24, 2026
“Come,” God whispers, eyes twinkling
Filled with secret delight.
The very word challengingly beckons.
God so eager to play.
The Game is on.
Word for word
Move for move
God the challenger,
Leading, seducing, creating.
And I the unworthy opponent
Bantering, wrestling, surrendering
And each time I think
“It is finished-I am the loser-”
God smiles so tenderly
God has won- but I have not lost!
We have entered a whole new level.
And God with knowing eyes,
Smiling mischievously
Utters again the challenge
“Are you ready?”
“Yes”
And the Game is on.
