As I contemplate my many blessings
Through all of life’s testings
I realize the Universe’s infinity
And the peace and refuge of serenity
Trust in God’s decisions
For you in His divine wisdom
Especially when life is sad
There is serenity to be had
In abundance
It’s our world, our planet
It needs a little support right now
Stretch out your hearts and demand it
Does anyone even know how?
Love, caring, and sharing
Uniting to become as one
How is your personal journey faring?
How do we know if we’ve won?
Do we always have to win?
It isn’t a puzzle or game
Who determines what is and isn’t sin?
Do we react just to acquire wealth and fame?
What does fame without health do for each of us personally
When it feels like everything is worsening?
Is it? Or is it measured by what we hear;
What we fear; what we hold dear; what brings us to tears?
So many questions and too few answers…
Look in the mirror, the reflection of each
Soul, person, mind, heart to reach and teach
Only what we know as truth, one at a time
About equality and how to nurture the future
How to tighten the ties in unity that bind
One to the other, lifting up the spirit of another
In peace, in support, “In God we trust…”
Don’t always be in a state of rush
Slow down and let yourself get grounded
Breathe in calmness and happiness
Let go and listen to the whisper of hushed tranquility and unity…
Still waiting for some medical test results, but my plan is to stay in touch with all my friends in the meantime. Have a wonderful, healthy, and wealthy 2016! Let there be peace on earth …

The Gift
by Deborah A. Bowman
LOVE is felt in hugs, cuddles, and touch
The warmth and security of loving arms mean so much!
PEACE is found in the silence between breaths
As the baby’s head drifts down to rest.
JOY is shared with that first little smile
Thrilling the hearts of both parent and child.
WISDOM is in knowing when to play, laugh, cry, or eat
Or just be calm, still, quiet, and sleep.
PURITY is innocence in all its simplicity
When little eyes widen and glow with wonder and humility!
