Wisdom....




The Age of Wisdom

Ah...what a blessing of life!!!
Watch the old sea turtle...so old...so rugged
Slowly making its way towards the ocean
Slowly...watch...so quietly...
This turtle crawls across the sands of time...
Each move more slow than the one before.


What has this turtle seen ?
What has this turtle done ?
And most important..
Where has this turtle been ?
Did we see her ?
Did we hear her ?
For she has talked her whole life.


My life began as I broke through
The sands on the beach.
I could feel the people looking at me.
Wondering...shhhh...listen...
The hush of the people.
Will I make it ?


Yes....feel the life
As it flows throughout my body
For I can crawl and
Away I go...for the ocean calls.
I feel the excitement of the people
As they take each step with me....
Steady...steady...steady.


I feel the wisdom of all time
As I grow and grow....
I swam with the dolphins...
The whales...
And all of the other sea creatures...
Learning more and more each second.


The dolphins are the messengers to the whales.
The whales are the keepers of the records of time.
Such good friends they are to me.
A blessing of life itself.


Now is the time for me
To pass the records of time on to another.
I come out of the ocean to place the egg
In the sand as I was placed.


Now is my time,
For I have served my mission in life.
I pass my wisdom to all that live,
As I will be no more.


I am heading back towards the ocean.
My time is past.
Listen to the waves...
Listen to the music of life...
Ah...the silence of time.





The Dance of the Wind

Ah...hear the music as the wind swirls
All around you.
The music of father sky and mother earth
Blend together to make the music of time.
Softly....listen....feel.


Feel what is there for all to feel.
Open the heart for the wind to clear and cleanse
What we have stored inside our hearts
For so many eons of time
Steady...feel...steady.


Release with the wind
All the anger...
The hurt...
The bitterness...
For the judgement of others.
Also means we are judging ourselves.


Allow the wind to blow
Through you.
Hear the laughter
Bubbling to the surface.
For we need to laugh
As life is a joy to have and hold.


What path we take...
It does not matter.
What matters in life is the
Essence of the soul.
Quietly...listen...quietly.
Transform who you are into who you are inside
Quietly...steady.
For in life our spirit
Continues for all time.
Replacing all that has been.
So, remember as you talk to another
That person could be you.
Someplace...sometime...somehow.


Stand still..
Allow the wind
To blend with your soul..
And then your soul.
Will be all that can be..
The sky...the moon....
The stars...the earth....
And all of the heavens above.
For only then...the peace.
Ah...you are home.
