You may think you are in danger
when really, I’m protecting you

There is time to work, says the Lord

There is time to work, says the Lord
and then there is time to rest;
watch for sloth, yes,
and also for addiction

Do not lose sight that being right
is not as important as being compassionate

Yes, they could be judging you
but what is more important
than your soul set free

Little bird in the storm
watching every droplet fall,
sharing secrets with the rain
of your suspension in the sky

An epic journey awaits.

Posted on August 29, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
An epic journey awaits.
Note that I do not say
fun awaits
or ease awaits
or you will get what you want;
it is the journey
awaiting your transformation.

Being run ragged

Being run ragged
is a sign you’re chasing illusions
because I will always allow myself to be caught

The mist lays upon the lake

The mist lays upon the lake
two lovers caressing in secret
the air, damp with knowing
smiles and draws the shrouds

It takes a lot of energy to tell God “no”

Posted on August 25, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
It takes a lot of energy to tell God “no”
to close the flood gates
on the tsunami of goodness
 
It takes a lot of energy to tell God “yes”
to break from the paths
of ancient disease
