each moment

creating
this work of art
we call
our life

soften open yield

by nadine j. smet-weiss
spiritual director

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

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

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

notice

the ordinary

anew

your own

breath

sound

and

silence

squirrels

at play

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

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

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
