Becoming my own best friend
Becoming my own best friend Is a gift that I must tend No longer something I’m willing to defend Pleasing others before myself must suspend Doing too much for praise-including a backbend This idea of over giving must end To my own heart I must attend This will now no longer depend On me having […]
I just sold my car
I just sold my car I was so over it-by far! My mood was always subpar Spending all that time driving over tar On Roads that have become an earth scar I was brainwashed Made to faire croire… There are so many other ways to get around… Buses. Trains. Trams. Metros. Even the street car. […]
Doing it right
Wanting to do it right Can keep us up all night Many an unnecessary war we incite When we allow our internal battles to ignite An avoidable and yet everyday fight This is a massive international plight It doesn’t take much to trigger us.. Make us bite When our insides are wound up so damn […]

The American Dream has become a meme
The American dream Has become a meme We no longer play as a team Things are most definitelyanot what they seem It’s no longer peaches and cream We’re about to rip a massive seam In the fabric of our faulty dream Not sure how to possibly redeem This current mismatched scheme But I know that […]
The Gift of going slow
The gift of going slow Is something of a gift for those who live below The equatorial line We can learn so much but mostly grow From the inward glow That slowing down can bestow It allows us to move more gracefully …to be in the flow caring more about connection than making more dough […]
Mining Grief for sweet relief
making space for the truth of grief is hardly ever short, sweet and brief and yet its full expression brings such sweet relief in my opinion it can be the aperitif for full heart living as stunning as the coral reef we do not ask permission from a tea leaf or from the police chief […]
