Let us return to being curious about this life

 
Let us return to being curious about this life
Let us touch our hearts waiting patient and loving
Let us listen to the trees 
to the birds 
to the silence
Let us find our way home

Watch the squirrels 
Follow the flight of the bluejay           
Hear the calling of the crows 
Feel the soft moss making a seat for you on the hard stone
Feel your face soften and the mask slowly slipping away
Take courage
Let it go

Someday, I will stop longing to belong

 
Someday, I will stop longing to belong
Someday, I will stop thinking that I don't
Someday, my mixedness will make me feel whole
Someday, I will really trust my experiences of the sacred
Someday, I will not feel small
Someday, I will trust that I have nothing to prove
Someday, I will feel enough
Someday, I will more easily allow myself to rest
Someday, I will trust the lasting presence of the sweet voice of creation even in the moments when I dont hear it
Someday, I will not judge myself so harshly
Someday, I will feel full and bright
Someday, someday will be now
Someday, they will have all happened, or not
Someday, they will not matter
Someday, I will die
