About to burst out
Rain nor wind inhibit it
Potential beauty

Giants stand tall
Shrouded in the morning fog
Soon the sun will shine.
Swift the river flows
Swollen by the falling rain
Stained brown by the earth
Women making plans
The bond between them grows strong
Sisters standing tall
Those are lovely
The wilderness suits you well
with modern comfort.

The God in you is
The God you alone let through.
To shine on the world

When we have doubt it
Paralyzes certainty
Life is uncertain.

Life’s vicissitudes
Opportunity for choice
Learn to love cactus

Graffiti on wall
Real or just an illusion
Like your city life?

“Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human.”
“Through compassion our humanity grows into its fullness.”

Tulips are fading
In the early summer heat
Yellowed Spring flowers
Tulips have faded
What can replace them today
Besides memory
Tulips can return
Nurtured with love from the past
New color and joy found

Behind closed eyelids
An orange like no other
In springtime sunshine

Life and the events
It is both more and less than
it appears to be.
