I Believe

I believe.

No specific form or dogma

does my belief take, but

I can tell you that:

I believe in 

sunshine, blue sky and cloudy days

birds on the wing or perched on high on a branch. 

squirrels gathering nuts

dogs, cats and horses.....

animals of every kind.

I believe in the roots of 

grass, plants and trees

friends and family

entwined and reaching below the soil. 

I believe in a vast connection between all things 

in waters and rocks of this great Earth, 

the stars in the sky, the sun and the moon

all pieces and parts of the Universe.  

in awe of everything around me 

is humbling ~ I am a part of it all.

I believe in 

humankind’s innate ability to heal 

deep wounds that cripple and scar

small scratches that annoy. 

I believe

there is no greater power 

than healing when the connection is made

with self and Universe.

I also believe that, 

in our constant seeking 

for new toys and technology,

we may look too far outside of ourselves 

and bypass the inner joy of healing.  

I believe in

a babies cry and

the final farewell with

all the sharing of joys and sorrows in between.

We race the races and 

dance the dances to each other's tunes when really

our dance is our own to choreograph 

be it a slow and graceful waltz or 

a jumping, jiving jitterbug.  

In this world, 

in this day and time, 

I believe that 

we must dance our own dance and 

race our own race 

with brightly coloured balloons in hand.  

Bring your own music and 

dance your own dance,

the party is on......

“Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.”

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
