Meditation

Holy one to whom I pray,
universal beingness,
here, there, and everywhere.

May my heart see the holiness of this and all realms, 
and remain awestruck at the wonder of the earth. 

I visualize the day 
when our world will be filled with the radiance of divine love,
a place where everyone follows love’s perfect desires for all 
and where perfect loving grace and peace reigns. 

May each of us have what we need each day 
and may those of us who have plenty, 
share with brothers and sisters who have less. 

May I reconcile with those whom I have hurt 
in thoughts, words, and actions, 
and those who have hurt me 
in thoughts, words, and actions. 

May I focus my sight on the pure light of pure love 
and may this light of love burn off all manners of evil, 
hatred,
greed, 
danger, 
and fear,
that threaten to block the flow of love in this world. 

So be it.

Letter to my future self

I didn't think this storm would ever end, but, in the end, it was just like all the other storms of life, louder perhaps, deafening really. Some people died, some unexpectedly, some jobs were lost. Were you surprised by the urban dustbowl mentality? Some necessary things weren't. Wounds festered openly. Surprising connections held. Some egos lost, after a time. Some courage remained. Terror and boredom, the have-have not divide widened. We became our brothers' keepers. I wonder. Yet, the lizards lay in the sun and the birds still sing. © Christine Salkin Davis, 2020

I'm very excited to offer this book for sale. It would make a perfect gift for the young children in your life. You can order it at this link: A is for Apple

Still the Birds Sing

The bug looks like a small black Volkswagen driving in circles on the wooden railing; suddenly, a flying car. The birds sing and the wind blows and the sun shines and the dandelions grow in the recently cut grass; yellow dots pock the green grass. A female cardinal swoops to the bird feeder, then a finch, reds and browns and grays and seed debris drops down, and the birds sing, melodious. The sky milks blue and clouds float and branches sway from the trees. The birds multitudinous sing antiphonally--           call, response, recall. Light shadows the ground. Still the birds sing. © Christine Salkin Davis, 2020
