Amidst the Storm

   Amidst the storm's fury,

 there is a place where quiet reigns,

where light overshadows the night,

and where love shields.

 It is found in the hearts

of those whose strength comes from within,

whose lives are lived

nurturing their spirit, soul, and body. 

The light from this gratitude-filled, loving, joyful heart

 shines bright on all...

I love Peace, a photo by AJ on Flickr

 Alone,

on a square prayer mat

during her meditation hour,

Maribel ponders on these words,

hoping one day to have a heart

just like the one described.



Well , a photo by Roy Joseph (kiaRa) on Flickr



She is not lonely in her aloneness,

for it is in this hour

she renews the well within her that has dried

during the day's busy schedule.

It is an hour that is spent 

in quiet reflection.

Loneliness,

for her, only comes when the well is not refilled

 at the day's end.
