My Gift To You

Love the Children

God awakens love in the hearts of the old

to welcome little children into the world.

Don’t explain away this miracle as brain chemistry.

Don’t steal our joy.

Or theirs.

Simplicity

Old age simplifies life.

Sensory and fresh,

fascinating, timeless, and alive,

 we enter a world of dancing branches,

mind-blowing sunsets, 

children’s laughter,

great storms at the window.

A world of wonder and transcendence.

Hard edges and sharp boundaries

soften into quilted beauty.

Aging into God

Even the trials of mind and body  bring you closer to the one light 
shining through everything.

It happens second by second by second.

The slow blossoming of something radically new 

growing in the field of losses.

It’s happening right now.

Can you feel it?

Past and future recede into mystery.

Even the trials of mind and body 

bring you closer to the one light

shining through everything.

We don’t know what a single thing is

but we find its beauty everywhere

along this second-by-second path into God.

Wisdom?

Mystical aging isn’t about wisdom,

it’s about being ever closer

to life’s pure experience:

old bodies, slower thoughts,

sunrises and cold winds,

loving touch, timeless moments,

deep breaths, honest conversation,

and the steadily parting veil.

Perhaps that is wisdom.

Telling the Truth

How do I tell family and friends

I have changed, 

the old me passed away and a new one seeks

only peace, quiet, and the simplicity of love?

Of course, “I” am still here, but in a new way.

Images of my aging grandmother,

sitting quietly in the garden,

draw me into the waiting stillness.

I offer my grandchildren 

her same unspoken presence,

resting in divine being.

The Next Stage in Aging

The “I Am God” state activates the next stage of spiritual evolution.

In aging’s deep space of sacred consciousness, we surrender the false self

into the living divine energy

of the cosmos,

touching everything,

blessing everyone,

 affecting the whole world.

Entering God’s  consciousness, love, and creativity,

we don’t so much change the world

as join the flow of its love.

From Constriction to Flow

Concepts and thoughts lock

the mind in rigid forms,

freezing our participation 

in the flow of being.

Silencing the brain’s chatter, 

shed the straitjacket of mind.

Soul, waiting patiently in the wings,

reaches out,

 takes your hand,

walks you into Creation,

   showing you how to challenge illusion

and find the work you came here to do.

The Soul’s Invitation

When soul calls you outside to dance in the sunshine,

breathe in Earth’s loamy scent,

and laugh aloud at hummingbird competitions,  

it wants you to become part

of this swirling infinite kaleidoscopic mystery of being,

not stuck in the head-scape of identity.

You stand at the epicenter of the world’s transfiguration.

Soul is your guide, muse, teacher, coach, and champion.

Answer its call.
