The spiritual wisdom of weak coffee

Posted on March 11, 2022 by Meisaan Chan

Weak coffee
hints at what it could be
but isn’t

Don’t live your life being weak coffee!
Hold nothing back!

When God becomes a protective koala bear

Posted on March 3, 2022 by Meisaan Chan

Come closer, God whispers
I am already in your pouch, Mama Koala, I say, snug and warm
How can I come any closer?
And then she shows me how

When the weight of my heart is so heavy

Posted on February 14, 2022 by Meisaan Chan

When the weight of my heart is so heavy
that not even seven cranes can lift
I turn my head to you, eyes aching
and let you start the slow drain into emptiness
murmuring that then you will begin the fill

Step by step through the wilderness
one sun, one moon, one sun again
one breath, one small clearing
one small thought of hope

Stabilizing and strengthening your weakest parts

Posted on January 6, 2022 by Meisaan Chan

To stabilize weak body muscles,
strengthen surrounding body muscles
while strengthening the weak

To stabilize weak spiritual muscles,
strengthen surrounding spiritual muscles
while strengthening the weak

Everything is in the system
and that within that
and that within that
