Take The Client Where They Are

Where are you client?
What’s alive for you now?
Do you know?
Are you ready
to go where you are?

Just for the moment
tomorrow can wait.
Clear your mind
and be free
of the steps you will take.

Time to go deeper,
explore, and be with
discomfort
that’s blocking
life’s greatest of gifts.

For all that has happened
in days long ago
has left
its own place
in your being you know.

But see it and claim it
and fear not its bite,
stuff leftover
loosens and
feels not so tight.

Continue the journey.
As deeper you go
you’ll find
buried treasure
is waiting below.

Stop now and pause.
Ask a question and trust
that wisdom
and guidance
will rise from the dust.

Listen and be with
direction you hear.
And if
you are moved
you may shed a few tears.

For this very moment
when patient you are
will reveal
to your senses
your own guiding star —

a light deep within you
that won’t let you down.
This truth
in your being
need only be found,

consulted and trusted
when challenge is great.
Follow it
back to the
task of the day

and celebrate knowing
that you’re on your way!
Lighter
and freer
and ready to play!

Your courage to go
to this place where you are
will surely
reap treasures
and you will go far!

Stories

Women circled ’round the candles,
stories waiting to be told.
Each in time would turn the handle,
doors to open to their souls.

From the past a woman’s journey
mirrors steps in life today.
Strength and power, love and joy: we
treasure another woman’s way.

Combing depths within me only,
harvesting the truth that’s mine,
sharing freely that my story
may for you intensely shine.

Help received from lights of others –
strength to walk the path that’s mine.
Onward, upward, outward, inward.
Spirit within: my Truth, my Guide.

Stillness

Stillness at depth
where mind awaits Mind.

Soul, the calm reflecting pool
and Spirit sees Herself
with Clarity —
I AM.

Sabbath Time

Where is God? I yearn to find
this keeper of the Truth divine.
Daily, struggle marks my days.
There must be a better way.

You need not explain or plead.
Make the space: God knows your need.
Release each challenge you now face.
Close your eyes for they will wait.

Pause within the busyness.
Gift yourself with blessed rest.
Still the mind of outer thought.
Sacred space cannot be sought.

Learn the Sabbath gift of time
away from self-made daily grinds.
Tasks will always wait in line
when you rest in Sabbath time.

Here within this tranquil space
are blessings rich in sacred grace.
Ageless wisdom you will find
when you rest in Sabbath time.

Release, Move On

Yesterday is but a memory if I let it be.
Yesterday is sure to haunt me if I cling on desperately.
Yesterday is full of actions that I would soon forget.
Focusing on yesterday is living in regret.

Letting go of past mistakes is vital to my life.
Releasing, too, the blessings clears the path to see the light.
Releasing all behind me I can now anticipate
for there ahead, in front of me, experience awaits.

Joyfully I find myself completely in the now.
Free to move with ease so I let Spirit show me how
to invest more fully in my life. This now I say:
focus on the path ahead. Be present to this day!
