Life Feeds us Truth

"Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance."
~ Morgan Freeman


Sometimes when you wait patiently
opportunity picks you up and your purpose is finally in place
the fruits of your past labors come to pass
and other times
you must hike a ten-mile stretch to a hidden tree
 and pluck it up yourself.
life is like that
apples or oranges
but sometimes pears
be patient
be courageous
be still yet quick and strong
we all are bruised from a fall
wanting approval and purpose
no matter our condition
not wanting to be left and forgotten
like a hidden fruit at the back of the fridge
yet sometimes being courageous means
being still in the storm
or staying in the shadows
and letting someone else
sit in the spot light
yes we grasp this slowly as we move forward
learning to reach
when to let go
and how to be still
life feeds us truth
to nurture our journey
but we must be willing to accept it
and truly take it all in
partake my friend
it may be sour now

but at times it will also be wonderful and sweet.

An Ode To Chocolate Cake

Midnight Snack, 1984, by Curtis Wilson Cost



"Worries go down better with soup."  ~Jewish Proverb
"or chocolate cake..." ~Carrie :-)


So many nights I wake up pondering
on all the whys and worries of my life.
I toss and turn with wrestling regrets
 that punch and know how to win a fight.

Soon I am up and wandering
towards my side by side frigidaire
hoping for some chocolate cake
to knock out my worries and cares.

When all the crumbs are scooped up
with a fork or tongue to plate
I head back to my empty bedroom
and rest peacefully until daybreak.
