Morning Light Caresses a Tree

In deep self-acceptance grows a compassionate understanding. ~ Jack Kornfield

Three Deep Breaths

Something Beautiful
Morning light caresses
A tree
Warming the bare trunk 
And branches 
After being in the
Cold night 
Air.

Breath Meditation
Tension that encloses
Me,
And cuts off
The wondrous world
Where all beings
Breathe,
Melts away.
There is no 
Above and below
My heart opens
Wide.
