" Found"


I come here each Day

I am Searching 

The Water, the olde Bridge-
the Trees 

They are my outward View 

Yet, my Search 
remains Inward.


I want to tell someone
about my Search 
But what do I say
My Search is leading me 
into New Territory-
Unknown Territory
How do I Reveal this to another.


I watch the people
Do they hold a Clue
I am at Home with the Children
They wear no Masks
I am Drawn to their Honesty
I Understand their Curiosity
I Trust their Vulnerability.


I study the Birds-
flitting from branch to branch
I like their Certainty
I watch the Geese and Ducks
I am in Awe of their timeless Grace
They Live within their Space in Time
They are Free.
 
   
The Clouds Gather
My Eyes begin Tracing them for an Image-
another Clue
I Know it is Written here
In this Place, I so dearly Love
Here I am Not Alone
It is the Cloak of my Healing.  
  

I Breathe Deeply
Until my Lungs are Filled-
Amassed with this Sacred Beauty
My Heart beats in Unison
with this Place-this Sanctuary
Here I am Not Lost
But I am Found. 


I walk to the Middle of the Bridge
Standing, Looking out onto the Water
A Bass Leaps in the late afternoon Sun
Then, I realise
I never go Completely across the Bridge
It is Time for me to Risk it-
Follow my Heart's Leading
I will Cross the Bridge...
~ I am Found.

"Blessing"

May the Blessing of Light
 be upon you,
Light on the outside
and Light on the inside.
With God's sunlight
 shining on you.

May your Heart
 glow with warmth
like a turf fire that welcomes
friends and strangers
 alike.

May the Light of the Lord
shine from your eyes
like a Candle in the window,
welcoming the weary traveler.

May the Blessing
 of God's soft rain
be on you, falling gently
on your head,
refreshing your Soul
with the sweetness
of little Flowers 
newly blooming.

May the Strength
of the winds of Heaven
Bless you,
causing the Rain
 to Wash
your Spirit clean,
sparkling after,
 in the 
 Sunlight.

May the Blessing
of  God's earth be on you
and as you walk the roads,
may you always 
have a Kind word
for those 
you meet.

May you understand
the  Strength and Power
of God
in a thunderstorm in Winter,
the quiet Beauty 
of Creation
and the 
Calm of a
Summer Sunset.

And may you
come to realize
that insignificant as you
may seem
in this Great Universe
you are
an Important Part
of God's Plan.

May H
Watch over You
and
 keep You
Safe 
from harm.
