Poetry by Carolyn Casas

This I Believe

I believe that goodness is the

root and core of all of life;

an act of kindness 

is the best reaction to any action;

there is no separation between myself

and my fellow living beings;

a benevolent river of consciousness exists

that holds us forever afloat in our experience;

each time we respond to an encounter

it is from a choice of fear or love;

we live to the best of our ability,

receive and give in our own capacity;

with love, trust and allowing

everything can be sorted out.

I believe in openness, in being vulnerable,

and in making a practice of our shared breath.

~ Carolyn Casas

Mysteries

Mysteries swirl about,

in and through,

around my living,

too many to comprehend

a master plan.

How weak I feel

against the pull, the weight

of pain, sickness, death.

If only I can hold steady,

this too does pass.

Shrouded meanings sought

but seldom glimpsed,

mostly guessed.

I want to trust enough

to love what is.

~ Carolyn Casas
