Sweep Sweep


Sweep Sweep

Make way for new thoughts

Clear your head of everything

All the false ideas, the narcissism, the wasteful thoughts,

Throw away all the physical and mental crutches. and the hopelessness and fear you've bought.


Sweep Sweep

Pick up your imaginary broom

Fresh thinking is knocking at your door

Asking that you make room

Asking that you give up 

The pointless, repetitive, negative thoughts,  addictions, lack of sleep, false dreams, lies and deceptions you've been hoarding

Wrapped in their heavy raiment of doom and gloom


Sweep Sweep

Clear all the ideas that have become as old as dust

Pick up every last scrap of them and toss them into the trash heap

Sweep them away you must

Don't let your mind, body and spirit be bogged down by things  that are full or crud and rust

Sweep Sweep Sweep

Sweep them away you must


Sweep Sweep

Make way for fresh air with a clean spirit and clean heart

Sweep away the cobwebs, the dusty old isms, the high maintenance ways, the emotional childishness, the being a poster child for problems

Sweep them away and give yourself a fresh start

Do it with body, mind, soul and heart

Sweep Sweep


Sweep Sweep

Clear the mud in your head

Don't try to manipulate or change others, work on yourself instead

Grow in awe and wonder

And think only of the wonders of the world such as the stars in the sky

When you go to bed

It's all in your head, it's all in your head

Sweep Sweep


Sweep Sweep

So you can be an example of an inspired life, an example of choices made well

Sweep away all the debris

Clear your heart, your mind, and your life

Until in your heart, your mind and your life,

Only peace, stability, goodness, and a sense of awe and gratitude dwells.

You Take Care




You take care and love yourself

And love others, and other living things too

Feel and display compassion

In everything you do.


Have a healing glow about you

That warms all those around

Soften your voice and your words

Until they're the sweetest and most soothing sound.


Shift what you consume

Harm less and love more

Be the shepherd, or the sheep

Never the wolf at the door.


Hallow the ground you walk on

This earth and all its treasures

Love it, and leave its beauty intact

For posterity to enjoy its pleasures.


Life is blessed, life is sacred

Love and respect life in everything you do

You take care and love yourself

And love others, and other living things too.


Happy Easter (April 17, 2022) and Happy Earth Day (April 20, 2022) to all of you.

Step Step Step



Step Step Step

Step towards a more hopeful and life-giving life

Step with all your courage and energy

Think not about past failures or potential future strife

Step Step Step


Step Step Step

Step towards looking at what you can do

Step towards expanding your vision of possibilities

Step towards thoughts or actions that can make you feel renewed

Step Step Step


Step Step Step

Step towards a vaster and more telescopic view

Step towards the answers of the earth which are deeper and wider

Than anything you know, or knew

Step Step Step


Step Step Step

Let the mysteries of the earth,  the sun, the stars, the sky, and the distant horizons speak their thoughts to you

Hold your tongue, your ideas, and your ideologies

Let awe and wonder and gratitude be visible in all you do

Step Step Step


Step Step Step

Step towards becoming more discerning

Step towards appreciating that just as the giraffe is so different from the lion and we must love them both

We must step towards loving the human beings that are burgeoning

Step Step Step


And you will go and I will go

And we will each have to reckon how we spent our earth days

Was it spent in stepping towards a more loving, more appreciative, and more compassionate vision?

Or was it spent in divisiveness, dismissiveness, derisiveness, and malaise?


Yes,  you will go and I will go

And we will each have to reckon how we spent our earth days

Did we spend it in stepping towards a more loving, more appreciative, and more compassionate vision?

Or did we spend it in divisiveness, dismissiveness, derisiveness, and malaise?

Step Step Step!

Wait a While


No matter how strongly you believe something is wrong or right

Wait a while

Wait a while


Because things are never black and white


Wait a while

Wait a while


You may think things are not moving fast enough


Wait a while

Wait a while


You may think someone is not doing enough


Wait a while

Wait a while


You may feel you are at your limit and there is no hope


Wait a while

Wait a while


Remember all the challenging situations you have been through, and how you came out okay and found ways to cope


Wait a while

Wait a while


You may think life is dealing you too hard a hand


Wait a while

Wait a while


The value of challenges and blows takes a while to understand


Wait a while

Wait a while


Keep going from tiny victory to tiny victory, dear reader


Wait a while

Wait a while


If nothing else, let your victory be in your equanimity


Just wait a while

Wait a while!
