Stand The Heat

8/29/09

Accepting, means everything,

loving what is,

All as Spirit

conjured up diversity,

forget the qualifications

see God everywhere

in all beings,

so I smile

love the stranger

strike up conversations

gift my love

as it overflows

from my bounty

fed each morning

within medicine wheel,

my daily practice

of acknowledging blessings

this miraculous life

the constant abundance

through all aspects

where nothing's denied,

just often misguided

by thought, actions,

stories made up

about interpretations, doubting,

whether I can

stand the heat.
