My Legacy – Beginning

My Legacy – Beginning

I listen to my friends
as they talk about their families
and the legacy they are leaving behind.
It causes me to stop and think about
what my legacy is.
What is it I am leaving behind.
I will leave Nick behind and
he is a legacy of the transformative power of unconditional love.
Being his mother has not always been easy.
There are days that have been filled with joy,
and others filled with pain,
but the one thing I am leaving in him
is knowing how the love we share 
has transformed his life.
I hope, however, that there is more to my legacy
then what I have bequeathed him.
I think about this often.
What will people say about me
or remember about me when I am gone.
Perhaps it is time for me to dive within
and write the story of my life.
Maybe its time for me to write
about what is important to me and why.
What do my words,
my writings,
my poems
say about me and my legacy.
What is the wisdom I want to leave behind?
What is the advice I want to pass on?
What are the blessings that have changed my life?
Maybe these words are just the beginning
as I reflect on my spiritual legacy
and the gifts I bequeath to the world.

Day 99 and Counting

Day 99 and Counting

It’s just day 99 of 2024
and already i am pouring libations
and remembering those whose work here is done.
Some of these people I was closer to then others,
but I knew them all,
had memories with them all,
needed time to grieve them all.

Some I am still grieving.
some died earlier in the year then others
and some just died.
Some I am still struggling to even say
they are dead,
but they are.
Grieving, like living,
is a process
and I will do both
until my time and my work
is done.
For now, I count each day I am alive
and celebrate the lives and the legacy
of those who are not.

What Did I Do?

What Did I Do?

Having lost 4 friends in the last week,
I have been thinking about my own death.
I even saw my own funeral.
Recently I was challenged to think about
what others might say
when I died.
It made me think about
what I have done.
How am I living my life?
What did I do?
What am I doing?
I may not be able to
do anything about
the legacy I have created
up to now,
but I can begin now to
create the legacy
I want to leave behind.
So that when I die,
others will say
they remember me
for always being loving,
positive,
inspiring,
motivating and kind.
They will say
I made time for them.
I respected their intelligence.
They will say I was an overcomer.
I believed in my own dreams
and I worked hard to achieve them.
What did I do?
I loved,
I listened,
I cared,
I believed,
I wrote from my heart.
I taught how to apply
theory to reality.
I was present,
I gave from my heart,
I was who I was created to be,
and encouraged others to
do the same.
this is what I did
and what I will continue to do.
What do you want others to say about you
and what you did?

Soulprints

Soulprints

We talk about so many kinds of footprints;
human
animal, and
carbon, but how about
soulprints.
Everyday,
every moment,
every place,
every person,
we leave our soulprint
on the world.
It is a spiritual trace
of who we are
and the legacy we are leaving behind.
Even though I have not left my computer today,
other then to cook a meal
and go to the bathroom,
I am still leaving a soulprint virtually
on every person I have written to
or engaged with.
What is my soulprint saying about me?
What is yours saying about you?

“Do you remember the day you had us drink Listerine?”
it was a question asked decades
after a spiritual class for kids.
He remembered me giving them two paper cups
one with a little bit of mouthwash and one with fruit punch.
The mouthwash, to him,
tasted horrible
and he just wanted to spit it out.
The fruit punch
tasted awesome
and he wanted more.
To this day, it reminds him
his words and actions
are a reflection of his relationship
with the Divine.
What if we remembered
each word and action
is important
and serves the Ultimate?
What if we thought,
as did my students,
what taste our words and actions
leave with the Ultimate?
Do we even consider how momentous
our words and actions are
and the legacy they leave behind?

My Legacy

it is what I inherited,
from those who came
before me.
I had no control,
nor did you of the legacy
we inherited.
We do, however,
have control
over the legacy
we leave behind.

We can think about
what we want them
to inherit
and put in place
a better legacy
than the one
we inherited.

We can envision
a legacy of dignity,
respect,
peace,
and institutionalized
respect for all humanity

We can leave behind
a new metoomovement
that is about those committed to
a legacy of unconditional love,
a legacy of celebrating uniqueness,
a legacy of positive alliances, and
a legacy of the tapestry of humanity
