One Day (july 5)

One day follows the next
     and the next
I look down at my shadow on the ground
One day it will not be there

Free Bird (july 6)

Free Bird, have your wings been clipped by
ingesting the fears and limiting beliefs
of frightened and limited people
This can't happen, that can't happen, that can't happen unless _____

No belief in or understanding of higher truths
No belief in miracles
despite the miracles all around us, as us

Free Bird, your wings are not clipped, they only seem to be
Free Bird, spread your wings, and
fly

How would i live (july 12)

if i wasn't thinking of the future, afraid of the future
     how would i live?
I i wasn't reacting to the past
     how would i live?
if my mind wasn't busy, busy, busy
     how would i live?
if i was aware of the infinite eternal
in me, as me
     how would i live?

if i wasn't afraid of surrendering to the experience of the infinite eternal
in me, as me
     how would i live?

if i really experienced THAT
     would it matter?
