WHILE ONE IS ENROUTE
Enjoy the journey
Don't wait for the arrival

FOCUSING ON CONTENTMENT
Doing what it takes 
To keep in focus 

LUNCHING WITH A FRIEND TODAY
To nourish my soul
More than my body 

ACCORDING TO ONE'S CALLING
Doing one's duty
Is the right response

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
As it tries to speak to you
Without words 

A HUGE TAPESTRY
Woven of words over time
A timeless treasure

MYSTICAL FEEIINGS
Con only be experienced
Cannot be described 

WISDOM VERBALLY EXPRESSED
In tender meter
Melts the hearts tendrils

GREETING ONE'S MAKER
In morning prayer
Should be more than lip service

ENTER YOUR OWN HOME
Where you have placed signs 
"No melancholy allowed" 

THE SEA LIES SUBDUED
It hardly whispers 
I shall visit it today 

WALKING ON THE SAND
Feet licked by the sea
Refreshed from her head to toes

THE RIVER WINDS DOWN
To enter the endless sea
From which it was born

THE ACT OF GIVING 
Is in itself rewarding
A special blessing

HUMAN WORTHINESS 
Is a Divine gift
To be returned in service

ONLY WHEN OPEN TO LOVE 
Can love be received
As well as given 

OUTPOURINGS OF LOVE 
From an unquenchable source 
For all to receive 

SINGING GOD'S PRAISES
Warms the cockles of one's heart
Can't be overcooked

TESTED EVERY DAY
Under all circumstances 
To live joyfully 

DWELLING ON NATURE'S WONDERS 
Is dwelling on God
And His handywork

OPEN MINDEDNESS
ARE THE PASS WORDS TO ACCESS
TO THE LOVE OF GOD

E X T E N D I N G O N E ' S F A I T H 
Extends one's being
More accepting of one's lot  

FAITHFUL TO ONE'S GOD 
Is an absolute
For enjoying inner peace

AFTER ONE'S TASTED NECTAR 
Nothing else will do
So it is with faith

PENANCE METERED OUT BY GOD 
Flowing from His love
Brings one to His love

MAN'S MIND CANNOT COMPREHEND
The wonders around . . . 
Only to wonder 

WHATEVER MAY COME 
Will become what is
To be accepted with joy 

GIVE WORTH TO YOUR LIFE 
At each opportunity
To give of yourself 

FOLLOW YOUR CALLING 
How it was designed for you 
Feel it as you go

AS THE DAY PEELS OFF
With the setting sun 
Inner peace begins to spread

WHEN FEELING EMPTY 
Take some nourishment
Prayer and meditation

CAUGHT BY THE MOMENT
Totally subdued 
Inner peacefulness prevails 

WITH EYES OF WONDER 
See the child in you
Seeing the world through his eyes 

A DAUNTLESS SPIRIT
Can see life as beautiful
Despite its horrors

EMBRACE ALL OF LIFE
Honoring your part in it 
Recognize the source 

THE ENLIGHTENED MAN
Will lend his light to others 
As he wends his way 

ENJOYING MYSELF
Not only as it appears 
But when it may not 

THE PURSUIT OE HAPPINESS
Is without meaning 
When living with joy 

EMBRACING THE WORLD
Bestowing one's love on it 
Will help it flourish 

FOR A SAINTLY MAN 
Selflessness is at the fore
As he lives each day 

HARVESTING WISDOM
Sown by the sages in the past 
To last forever 

DISTILLING A THOUGHT
Is a magical process
That God only knows 

SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE 
Can be continued 
Only with belief 

SERVING SOMEONE SELFLESSLY
IS A GREAT BLESSING 
BRINGING HAPPINESS
