I enjoy playing with words and am especially fond of plays on words.  For me, puns speak to the multidimensional nature of things.  Spiritual puns, in particular, resonate deeply.  During a recent meditation on Lent, this pun arrived.  Later it grew into verse.

 

 

Traveling Light

 

We are light beams

light beings

traveling

unfolding

moving through

the kaleidoscope -

rainbow cornucopias of

particles waving -

hues

uniquely balanced

and blended.

 

As traveling light

we do best

to travel light -

releasing clutter

fear

resentments

unworthiness stories

ego attachment

the confining

boxes of thought

holding us back

weighing us down.

 

Traveling light

we touch lightly.

We savor

and release

each moment

embracing movement

in stillness -

lithe and

transparent to

the ever-unfolding

parade

of hello

and goodbye.

 

We can't grasp

the unfolding.

We can't dam(n)

the flow.

It only hurts

to try -

only makes us

denser

and darker.

 

We are

  traveling light.

Let's

travel light.
