ah….Christmas Eve day
and the sun shines brightly
over Huntington Beach.
in direct sunlight
the warmth radiates on my face
and takes me back,
and in the shady places
there is a chill that rises up
and this too takes me to my heart.
during these holidays
there is a longing to connect
with all my loving family
and friends who are no longer
walking this earthly realm.
and it is also the presence of family
though somewhat smaller
there is that love that streams
through us
and them as well,
and the peace
that parents
and grand-parents
and uncles and aunts
with whom we once shared
and share again
each time they
enter our consciousness.
there is really only this moment in time,
it can’t be held on to
but it can be lived fully
and with love and joy
our moments can fill our hearts
and fill our lives
and we can walk with all
of the past, the present and the future;
for there is nothing else manifest
but our love
if we surrender to ‘just this’
as it unfolds and weaves a path
from here
to here
and where we are
is where we have always been.
peace………
peace………
and peace………
be everywhere………
