A Little Box
By Tom Reilly
Take your little box,
And put the sunrise in.
Over and over,
Fill it to the brim.
Gold hues spread
From edge to edge
Changing
Fleeing
Glaring overhead.
Take your little box,
and put the sunrise in.
To let it go
Without a chase
Would really be a sin.
Sidework
For over 15 years, I’ve raised four children off-grid in tents, tipis, a yurt living by candlelight and rainwater, writing by the smoke hole while the world slept.
These words are offerings woven from rag rugs and real life shared from the heart of a journey that never quite had a map.
I See Me in You
Written in loving memory of Sat Santokh Singh — a crusader, leader, and spiritual teacher who stood courageously with compassion and love.
An American Sikh
From the East Coast to the open West, a journey of belonging, fatherhood, and awakening begins.
A Vision of Possibility
One quiet morning, I asked myself: How can I make a real difference in the world?
The answer came instantly…
Love's Infinite Song
Who are you, who am I, Sometimes it's almost as if we blur, Into one another, Not two but one.
Like blue skies over the ocean, Where does one end and the other begin.
Experiencing Vastness
When I was in my twenties, I was stressed from the pressures of life. I started practicing yoga and I started to feel good.
