Practice

Sitting

stillness

discern fears

from

wisdom

tuning into

sacred guidance.

In the Garden

Roses can grow from

barbed wire,

Lilies

from cement sidewalks

But from lies,

Only vines.

Answers

Revealed, truth peeled

Open eyes to testify

Ears, finely tuned In

Lessons

Failure, a teacher

repeat until they are learned

Wisdom acquired

Thoughts

Demons
Feed on
Fear.

Doubt cloaks
Perspective
Seek within

Refuge
from The
whispers

Sinister speak
Slipping swirl
Superficial surface

Reflecting, perfecting
The journey
Of discovery

Knowledge

A speck in sand dunes
As it blossoms, you have less
Seek to make it grow

Ego suicide
release all the ties
not sadden by goodbyes
Crossing divides
Riding tides
In the lows
and highs
Share the happy
moments.
Life is a prize
treasure it
before it evaporates
you’re only promised
today.
Don’t let it go
to waste
seek to be wise
see past the hypocrisy
and lies.
Happiness is simplicity
Breathe
Live free
Laughing is key
to blissful harmony
empty mind
trash thoughts
that lack inspiration.
Each choice makes your path
unfold
Decide how you want
your story
to be told.

Dedicated to all my fellow teachers, who work hard. Don’t get recognized as they should and live in an era where we face constant scrutiny. We fight the good fight. Justice for the Newark 7!!

Teach to reach new heights

Minds ignited, powerful

strength, patience, wisdom
