The soul’s immutable worth

Posted on December 22, 2020 by Meisaan Chan

You work so hard to validate your worth
or measure it or defend it –
Step out of the cycle of lies!
Stop protecting something indestructible!
Be free!

Before the winter solstice

Posted on December 16, 2020 by Meisaan Chan

The dark has arrived again, my early winter guest;
unprepared, I run to make a bed for her.

not in any hurry

The prerequisite before transformation

Posted on December 11, 2020 by Meisaan Chan

Open your ways unto me, says the Lord;
remove all barricades
and tanks
and bombs;
I will turn your war paths into peace paths
and your heart from steel into flesh
and your spirit from vapor back into spirit;
open your ways unto me, says the Lord

The simplicity and challenge of the open door

Posted on December 10, 2020 by Meisaan Chan

why the confusion? Why the amazement?
For you have made of yourself an open door
and lo, I am walking through
