soften open yield

walking
into the world
this day
i elect
to step softly
upon concrete
and asphalt
open
brief
delightful
interactions
with people
i pass
on the street
graciously
yield
to drivers
racing through
red lights
refusing
to brace
or harden
i choose a
resistance
that seeks to
embody
love
vulnerabeing
each heartbeat
each breath
each moment
a gift
not a given
be love
by nadine j. smet-weiss
spiritual director
to thine
own self
be love
what part
you wonder
i have
so many
parts
be love
to that
which
you
find
most
unlovable
in you
and
from that
place
of loving
that part
of you
be love
in
the world
take a moment
by nadine j. smet-weiss
spiritual director
take a moment
to attend
to your breath
follow it in
all the way
to the center
of your being
then listen
to what it
whispers
in the ear
of your heart
on the way out
live that
a wonder
nadine j. smet-weiss

notice
the ordinary
anew
your own
breath
sound
and
silence
squirrels
at play
this moment
a wonder
being change

risking
heart opening
transformation
releasing
the fullness
of our light
into the world
much like that
brilliant tree
turned autumn orange
outside my
bedroom window
trusting life
by letting go
ablaze
mirror, mirror
nadine j. smet-weiss
spiritual director
have you
looked
in the mirror
lately
come
face to face
with the truth
of you
marvelous
miracle
of being
daring
to become
your dream
belonging
by nadine j. smet-weiss
spiritual director
belonging
be longing
longing to be
becoming
be coming
the two betwined
our most authentic
becoming
revealing
the deep truth
of our
belonging
here now
by nadine j. smet- weiss
spiritual director
we are here now
on the threshold
of a new beginning
who we have been
informing our future
yet not determining
who we become
if we can
meet each moment
with this wisdom
and awake to
our deepest desires
we will become
the change
we imagine
