I step into my day
content with all that is
no longings
no sadness
no one tugging at me to go another way
I live in the now
appreciating the sunshine on my shoulders
the rain kissing my face
mother earth caressing my feet and hands
as I dig in the soil planting flowers
the richness of now
takes my breath away
the beauty which surrounds me always
brings me home
to the god I truly am
how can I doubt myself
when the trees keep blooming
each year in a new and different way
each leaf creating itself anew
each flower and blade of grass
growing and flowing
with the river of life
I too can trust
all is well
inside my own heart
I feel the beating of all these other hearts
who trust what is
who bask in the contentment
of themselves
and their creations
I step into my day now
filled to overflowing
with love and contentment
trusting all is well
and knowing I am
my own tree
firmly planted
on my own path
and certain
that all is well
in my own creations.
