Tread lightly

Tread this earth lightly.. Stay humble... Don't boast... 
Never let pride lead the way.. 
Everyone experiences pain.
Let love, empathy, forgiveness and compassion lead the way.
Empty vessels make so much noise in our world today.. 
We don't hear about the quiet strength that is embodied in the good of people. 
Quiet almost invisible heroes, creating their ripples...

In my head

Sometimes I hear you in my mind responding to situations I'm in.. And all I can do is say "I love you".. knowing you'd understand exactly what it is I'm thinking. You're still very much with me in my heart..if not more so. I'll try to make every ripple count.

Allahu Alim

Allahu Alim..
Asking for grace in those moments we feel fearful,small,worried, and reactive to what life throws our way. The unknown scares us. Our imagination scares us. May He give us the quiet strength of letting go of what is beyond ourselves, beyond our flesh, and to just breathe. Allahu Alim

Feeling You

In this moment..
A feeling felt in so many layers..
So many mirrors...
Sweet beautiful reminders
The One that continues to grow right here..
Smack center of my being.
Every single fiber of me.

We may not be perfect people..
But we're perfection, souls entwined..
You'll always be my soul's resource..
My feeling.. be it high or low..
I'll always feel through You.

The unspoken Truth that lives in your soul.. 

Get rid of our titles & what do we share?
Be it love?.. Be it hate?..
On this planet we share the same fate.
Love your sisters & brothers..
Not as you would the food on your plate.
Skin and bones in want of a warm heart & warm home.
No worries of boogeymen putting you under.

We feel complicated. Hey.. everything out there is complicated
Multifaceted is everyone's experience.
On the learning curve you're at the bend here, they're at the bend there..
Live & let live.
Make choices with the best of intentions.
Be easy on yourself knowing you did your best.
Die with your integrity..
And love in your soul.
