Litmus test, yet again

Posted on July 16, 2021 by Meisaan Chan

When you find wholeness in me
you can love another with surrender, with courage,
for you do not look to the other to be filled

If you love with panic
you are depending on them to fill your holes

A journeying caution

Posted on July 15, 2021 by Meisaan Chan

Most often, the ego is what prevents you from walking or leads you astray,
whispering that it is not doing anything at all
while it is directing your very move –
Listen!

Blessed are the strong who submit

Posted on July 14, 2021 by Meisaan Chan

Blessed are the weak who submit
but a thousand times more, the strong who submit,
for there are a thousand more obstacles for them,
for submission to be a choice

You give me such times of sweetness

Posted on June 30, 2021 by Meisaan Chan

You give me such times of sweetness, O Lord
even in the midst of the storm:
You bring me to transcendence in the squall
by showing me that the storm is a breath on the wind:
You bring me to transcendent grounding
by bringing me to new ground:
Transform, you say
and breathe in me radiant strength
that goes on forever
