folding up the day, and making way for night

It's a perfect February evening, with just a hint of spring in the air. On a night like this, all things feel possible. No, all things ARE possible.

I feel the cool air coming in the window
I hear noises in the distance as we slow down in preparation for the night.
I see the candles flickering on my altar
I touch the floor with my feet, and know that I am grounded and on my path.
I smell the lingering scent of incense from my meditation time.
I sense that all is well.

What touches your senses right now? It has been a long time since I asked this question.

Goddess, may I be an instrument of peace, so that all beings may live in harmony.

yes, I WILL keep on dreaming

One morning last week, I heard the gentle voice of a street musician singing John Lennon's Imagine in Grand Central Terminal. A few seconds later, I saw a hard-faced man push past someone who had stopped to listen, and heard him spit out a sarcastic, "Keep on dreaming."

Why?

I'll never know why this man is so hardened to joy or hope, why he tried to destroy others' happiness. I send him my blessings, and hope that he can find peace.

As for me, I will keep on dreaming.
