Allowing

Let everything be allowed to do what it naturally does, so that its nature will be satisfied.
~ Chuang Tzu

Empty

“Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought!

Why do you stay in prison
When the door is so wide open?"

Rumi

Listen

“what comes from nothing-

is often everything,

and what we think of-

as everything,

becomes nothing compared to-

what comes ahead”~Maureen K. Meshenberg 

Joy Holds True

~By Maureen Kwiat Meshenberg © * Oak Park, Il

How do you allow hope to bring you to joy? 

joy holds the cup,
of all my sorrows-
that tries to draw on my yesterdays,
and crush my tomorrows,
catching hope in my breath,
and letting it spill out-
exuberance upon my day.
joy comes with effervescence,
not collapsing into hiding or-
camouflaging my life with what
the world would call
the better things of life.
what really counts,
is how love holds your joy-
on the inside-
allowing life to be,
to flow into,
vital moments with passion-
hope rises like a sun beam,
from my broken being-
an inner knowing,
allowing myself-
to bring me,
to the ease of me,
resting in the hope-
that today is held,
in the joy that resides in me.

"Magic exists. Who can doubt it, when there are Rainbows and Wild flowers, the Music of the Wind and the Silence of the Stars? Anyone who has Loved has been touched by Magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live.”

―Nora Roberts

I will make everything around me beautiful. That will be my life.
