Evolving
Invisible
Indivisible
Becoming visible
Showing more than we can see
Except through eyes open and free
Sum of parts that aren’t afraid to be
As One revolving Mind of clarity

An Etheree for the poet’s choice prompt

Attend to Universal Laws
And better life with this one turn,
For at your core the Lifeforce burns!
With or without you, It evolves!
The Lifeforce is First Light and Cause,
Yet never does impose Its Will
And Purpose that we must fulfill.
We’re free to pick and free to choose
And take effect whiche’er we do,
Evolving Life—for Good or ill!
Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 51: (CAUSE) in the A rhyme line.
Appreciation
Inner joy bubbling outward
Dispersing sadness
Affection touching
Infiltrating countless hearts
Minister of All
Admiration spreads
Inspiring bigger blessings
Raising vibrations
Who are you… Really?
Are you curious to know,
Or scared to find out?
Wisdom within, quiet, sure:
Soul, heart, mind, body of Life.
The word of the year:
Transparency! Instead of
Making claims, just be!
Gather round!
Sit down!
Find the chair that’s just your size!
Take a seat!
Enjoy a treat!
Let the Magic fill your eyes!
Enjoy a treat!
Happily greet
What the Universe supplies!
Open up!
Grab a cup!
Let the Magic fill your eyes!
Grab a cup!
Love and trust
That You are the All-Parent’s Child!
Claim your chair-
The head one there!
Let your Magic fill your eyes!

This is a piece I wrote for one of Sue Vincent’s #Writephoto prompts
last May. I didn’t sing it at the time, but posted a meditation
version on lyre. You can listen to or download that
here.
This version has vocals, accompanied by ukulele. There’s also a viola
part, melody on alto recorder, and an alto recorder duet.
I hope you enjoy this arrangement!
We all want to escape the realities of our lives at some point. Maybe it’s stress. Maybe it’s violence, whether physical, emotional, or otherwise. Maybe we’re feeling bored, lonely, isolated, or trapped. Whatever the reason, an escape from reality is often welcome!
If we can’t leave the people we live with, can’t move, change jobs, or go on vacation, we feel especially stuck. But there are still ways we can escape, albeit temporarily.
We can lose ourselves for a time in books or movies.
Meditation transports us to other dimensions that change us and might even improve our realities!

Carrot Ranch MARCH 25: FLASH FICTION CHALLENGE
Before effective ways to cope-
New hearts and minds with longer ropes-
We cannot flow, we cannot move,
Until we seek and find our Truth!

Have you ever wondered why some people exist?
Why do people harm themselves and others? Why does humankind, as a
whole, refuse to change for the better, even when we know–well–we
know it would be better? Why do we keep repeating the same negative
patterns, ineffective communication styles, emotional blackmail,
mental and physical abuse, and other destructive behaviors over and
over and over?
Why don’t we learn from our mistakes? And why do those whom we believe
“deserve” to be hurt, seem to come through without a scratch, while
bad things continually happen to “good” people?
I have no answers! Instead, *I prefer keeping in mind even the
possibility that existence has its own reason for being!
