A Morning Hymn

I like Sundays.

In old memories. 

attitudes shifted for 

that Sunday moment. 

A feeling of more 

air to breathe. 

I’ve not been 

in a church

for many years, 

but the silence is 

a morning hymn.

I like Sundays.

“In the midst of the storm, your life boat appears. A psalm, 

a hymn, a word…calming the fiercest winds of the soul.”

~ Roderick l. Evans, author

A Beautiful Order

There is the order 

that I have decreed and 

then there is the order 

of the universe that 

I cannot see, feel or hear.

Yet I am one atom 

of the universe with 

my feet and my heart, 

my mind and my soul. 

When I close my eyes, 

I can feel the universe

that is me and I am enough, 

the purpose unknown but 

I am willing to shape this 

moment in beautiful order.

“The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different 

expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle.

~ Marcus Aurelius,

Then it is Time

Relax and breathe ~

  

  when your heart is crying, 

  when the world is too heavy, 

  when the wind is too wild

~ it seems impossible. 

It is the only solution 

  

  when we know that 

  we are no bigger 

  than the air in our lungs

~ then it is time to 

breathe deeply and relax.

“Your breath is your best friend.”

~ Professor Ramchandra Gandhi,

Philosopher and teacher
