This Magical Life

The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Isis et Osiris

On godly throne

Osiris ruled

Until Set got his way,

With evil magick

Was he lured,

And down the Nile

Was laid.

Isis’ love

And magick touch

Did resurrect

Her King,

From Holy Spirit

Was conceived Horus 

The Falcon King.

Osiris, Lord

Of the Dead

O’er all souls

Presides,

Heaven or…

Underworld?

He alone decides.

On Compassion

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” 
~ Pema Chodron

Who are you?

“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.”  ~Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel

The Opposite of Love

At what point did love 

Become obligation?

Was it when 

The romance with life 

Ended?

When the day-to-day 

Drudgery

Arrested your 

Imagination?

Growing ever more 

Resentful,

Unable to remember,

How you arrived

Here?

Your dreams

Having long since 

Fallen away,

Now ensnared

By convention or habit?

Perhaps, 
It no longer matters.

On Character

“It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

~ J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, 1999

Soul Sisters

Often,

We find each other

In unlikely ways,

Or familiar places.

It begins

With polite words,

And a spark.

Something resonates

From deep within…

This recognition

Of kindred spirits.

For a day,

Or a lifetime,

We are bonded

And transformed

By what we share

In thoughts

And feelings.

Soul sisters

Reconnected

In a world divided.
