Fear can be real
if you’re facing a hungry tiger,
if you’re getting washed away in a flood,
if your child is ill.
But daily fear isn’t real.
It’s a tool that can control, and
keep us from being all we can be.
Step back from “what if” fear and
find your strength and your dreams again.
Be the tiger or the power of the flood.
Be the healer of all sick children.
That power will bring a new and better world.
No one person has all the power.
Breathe deeply and reclaim yours.

Welcome gentle winter
The snow has fallen
like a blanket covering the season past,
creating a clean canvas
for what lies ahead.
Time to ponder what has become.
Space to meditate on deeper truths.
Need to still our busy minds
and wrap ourselves in a blanket of what can be.
