The Body

It is your temple
A place of great hope,
Harmony, love and joy
A magical kingdom
Of great mystery
A mind of its own
Breathing, beating
Constantly in repair
A miracle entrusted
To only you.
You choose its nourishment
Its fluids and air
Choose carefully
As this is a temple
Of vigorous health or despair.

Another Kind of Miracle

There are those who promote
The miracles of history
The parting of the waters
The healing of the sick
The raising from the dead
And yet there is another
That which is within.
The miracle of seeing life
In a different way.
Seeing the connectedness
Instead of the separateness
Seeing the love and kindness
Instead of dark intent
Assuming the best
Instead of the worst
Seeing the beauty
Instead of the beast
Another kind of miracle
The change of heart.
