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

do less

there are griefs
in letting go
of what has been
along with
gratitudes
for the ways
in which it
formed our being
may we allow space
for these waves
to flow through us
as a blessing
of aliveness and
in time
of our becoming
in time

did you rise
to meet beauty
in the mirror
this morning
walk out the door
to delight
in its blooming
all about you
find it even
in a frowning face
enough to smile
in return
and then delight
to discover
it was
everywhere present
waiting

now
is the season
to come alive
awaken
to the power
of the light
you bear
embody
the gifts
that are
yours
to give
open your arms
to receive
what others
live to share
now is the season
to come alive
awaken to
the love
you are

when I look
honestly
at the world
which is
my mirror
the reflection i see
appears to be
a mangled mess
entangled with
exquisite beauty
raw material for
life imagined
may love guide
my daily contribution

having come
full circle
it may seem
we have gotten
nowhere
until we share
the story
of our journey
realizing how far
we have come
and thus filled
we begin again

my heart hungers
for the sense of fullness
found in being
truly alive
tempted as i am
some days
to bury that hunger
with the busyness of doing
my heart will not
be satisfied
until i honor breath
requesting its blessing
upon all my doings

a hidden jewel
buried deep
in our
human hearts
ever ready
to refract
the delight
of our being
joy surprises
by nadine j. smet-weiss

we are
living history
born of egg
pierced by sperm
embodying
the horrors
and the hopes
of our ancestors
forward
the ongoing story
of creation
sounding through us
may we
consciously choose
to honor their legacy
being the change
becoming the dream
