Our hearts see…





  • Our hearts see that which is 
  • Invisibly to the naked eye, and
  • WHY? Because hearts speak 
  • And need no reasons
  • To echo the truth 
  • Of what so splendidly unites!





  • Peaks and flowers revealed in the morning light—
    Our joy is praise indeed!

    O Give Me Courage....

    O give me courage!
    The heart is stronger when
    We are attuned to it...
    Make me understand
    As I perceive
    The self within!
    In so doing, I claim my rights,
    Stroll along the open road,
    Feel free as the gentle wind!

    Too Many Demands

    Too many demands
    Too many possessions 
    Pull the veil over
    A wondrous world within...
    Let them simply go...!
    Look how easy it can be—
    Just a step or two
    Away from the mundane
    And one smiles...
    My dear, it’s the presence
    Of Light—
    A natural reflex...!
    Think for a moment—
    Isn’t it always there?

    Leise, leise...

    Leise, leise
    Kommt der Winter,
    Und der Herbst
    Kann ihn nicht hindern—
    Die Blaetter gelb und rot
    Fliegen im Winde.
    Kinder, Kinder besinnt euch
    Auf diesem Kreise!

    Gentle, gentle

    Comes the winter,

    And autumn cannot prevent it—

    Leaves yellow and red

    Scatter in the wind.

    Children, children—remember!

    The circle of time!

    Komm aus dem Schatten
    Auf und runter vom Stuhl —
    Geh durch Wiesen und Waelder
    Zum Meer—
    Schau wie tief die Berge darin!
    Gewiss nicht leere Traeume ...
    Wo wir uns in die Sonne wagen
    Die Welt ist gross!

    Come out of the shadows,
    Rise from the chair—
    Walk through the meadows and forest
    To the sea—look
    How deep the mountains reflect in it!
    Certainly not empty dreams ....
    Feel the warmth of the sun
    The world in us has began!

    She Took A Walk

    She took a walk
    Whirled around
    By cold winds and rain,
    Between rugged coasts and
    A sleepy town—
    “Why look for my fate
    In the stars
    Or some beguiling thing?
    I live beyond night and
    Day—in silence I cry
    That goodness to see
    From above!  Thus,
    Must I leave sad thoughts behind,
    Which nonetheless travel with me, as do
    Many notions and nothings—
    And so to the Essence
    Within, and a silver lining...
    In peace and love
    Every need is met!
    Knitted I am to a gracious life!”
    The world, then, is seen
    In a brighter light,
    Without age or
    The passing of years...
