open

mjd - 2015 - open - sterling ring

realizing that the thing to be most feared

is lacking the courage 

to remain open in heart and mind.

practicing non-judgment and big love

only brings light to the world.

why contribute to the darkness?

thoughts for morning -

mjd - rise awaken and shine 2015

as the sun rises

and the moon sets

may i begin my day

awake.

may i move through

each moment

mindfully

lightly 

and with clarity.

a heart

bursting with love

a mind

propped open,

may i shine

to lessen

the darkness

of another being's 

suffering.
