“What is wealth?” we ask.
We must answer for ourselves-
Can’t afford not to.

Reflections #Tanka #Poem
Spider spinning gauze
Delicate, strong looking glass
Reflecting our hope.
Pilgrims progress faithfully
Through incense of illusion.

Harmful Huff 3TC #Poem
Why on earth are you blowing your stack?
It’s compassion for others you lack.
They are hurting enough
Without you in a huff!
There’s no trial that improves when you’re mad.

Transported down life’s rough road,

Bees #Nonet #Poem
A bee’s life is valid in itself.
We could learn so much, if we tried!
Living in community,
Taking just what they need,
Giving all they can!
We miss the mark
Looking out
For MY

Joyful Noise #Decima #Poem
O music is for everyone!
You need no talent, training, poise
To make your spirit’s joyful noise!
Relax, let go, and have some fun
Each morning, noon, when day is done.
For music is the straightest line
Connecting us to God Divine,
A gift we, one and all, are giv’n,
A way to catch a glimpse of Heav’n!
O give your joyful noise a try!
