March 17’s in 2022

 March


I do not see things 

as they are, but rather I

see them as I am.


Gratitude will move

you forward no matter how  

stuck you might feel now. 


Though there be darkness,

let your glow shine from within.

Be a lightworker.


It’s TGIF!

Trusting, Grateful, Inspired!

Faith-filled! Am I right?


So many tunes in 

your mind that do not deserve

your listening time.


Seeing both myself 

and others as divine souls

keeps me more humane.


Practicing peace keeps 

my thoughts and feelings focused

on peace, only peace.


I’ll take the smallest

action of good will over

the biggest promise.


I got up today,

gave thanks for all of those who

I love and cherish.


I trust the future.

I do what is mine to do,

my part, then relax.


I meet MBA’s

who went to B-school. I’m still

going to Be school.


I claimed my wholeness,

found myself in remission.

I am my healer. 


Speak softly, carry

a big agenda: peace, calm,

undemanding love.


Sunshine and flowers,

kindness and humanity.

Repeatable Zen.


Not an indulgence,

rest is vital in my life.

So…time for a nap.


I now commit to 

living gently, responding

kindly each moment.


Teachers are a gift,

patient and understanding.

Thank a teacher now.


Another day and 

way, moving slowly, at the 

soft speed of kindness.


There’s no place nor time

peace power cannot transform. 

Peace begins with me.


Some memories bring

a few tears, others a smile,

or even a laugh.


I cherish my life,

expect goodness every day,

make the most of it. 


My short to-do list

keeps me certain of the day,

but…surprises, please. 


Sharing delights me. 

Giving is it’s own reward. 

I feel uplifted. 


The beach is alive,

sun dancing on the water,

children filled with joy. 


In my heart and soul,

something beckons me forward. 

I celebrate me.


I choose happiness. 

I can find it anywhere,

but mostly at home. 


It is a great gift 

when someone is there for you,

peaceful and present.


Too hard to pretend.

Easier to simply be

true and authentic.


Honor those who serve,

respect their dedication,

know their sacrifice.


We’re east of the coast,

and we’re west of the desert.

Best of both worlds. 


I’m at ease being

open and honest. Most folks

are not listening.


Grand gestures are not

needed. Small, still kindnesses

are far more helpful.

The Gift of Today

 Today


I can only really

please one person 

per day.

Today, I thankfully 

choose me.

Expressing gratitude

as soon as I wake up 

brings me happiness.

Today I plan 

to pay close attention

to all of the

little things.

Today I plan

to observe

without reaction.

I’m better that way.

Today I plan 

to be quiet. 

No talking

will be necessary.

Today, I plan

to listen,

Really listen. 

So, feel

free to speak.

Sometimes I still get angry,

but then I tell myself,

nope, not today.

Call me an idiot, I don’t mind,

would even welcome that.

I like an empty, beginner’s mind.

Kiss

 Piano


Softly, like our morning sky,

in the first kiss of spring.

Peace, carried by doves. 


Softly, like the sky

in the first kiss of sunrise.

Peace, carried by doves. 


Softly, like our love, our hugs,

handshakes with both hands.

Peace, carried by doves.


Softly, like our earliest kisses,

laughter as our noses bump.

Peace, carried by doves.


Softly, in our elder infatuation,

we whisper words of appreciation.

Peace, carried by doves.
