Revolving Spiral #Poem

One
Nature
Evolving
Invisible
Indivisible
Becoming visible
Showing more than we can see
Except through eyes open and free
Sum of parts that aren’t afraid to be
As One revolving Mind of clarity

Cause #Decima #Poem

Attend to Universal Laws
And better life with this one turn,
For at your core the Lifeforce burns!
With or without you, It evolves!

The Lifeforce is First Light and Cause,
Yet never does impose Its Will
And Purpose that we must fulfill.
We’re free to pick and free to choose
And take effect whiche’er we do,
Evolving Life—for Good or ill!

“Near the Cross” #Music

Happy Easter! Yes, it’s late. But here is a popular hymn played on lyre and alto recorder, “Near the Cross.” The lyrics were written by Fanny Crosby, and the melody by William Howard Doane.

Enjoy, and I hope you had a wonderful Easter!

Seeds of Potential #Haibun #Poem

In my mind I return to the year I was 7 and in first grade. The puppets are the best part of the day, when Mrs. Basta tells a story or teaches us something with the lamb and other animals. I also like lunch. But perhaps my true favorite thing, even better than the puppets, is recess!

On the playground I collect fallen cherry buds with my friend, Iris. I put them in one of those little Halloween pumpkin buckets, the ones most kids use for trick-or-treating. I include grass, dirt, rocks, and whatever else I can find. Maybe I hope these seeds of potential will grow!

Soon hatsu hana
Bring hope before they blossom
Seeds of potential
