The Intelligence of Becoming

by Liam

Be who you are.

Let your presence rest gently in this world.

Don’t question why time drifts,

Or why rain falls heavy with sorrow.

It is your soul that spins with the flow of life,

Your mind that weaves its vast distances together.

In solitude, the mind fashions its own horizons,

Naming this fragile awareness “me.”

Yes, in that moment of recognition,

Reality is born,

Reflecting your heart’s secret garden.

Be tender with yourself,

For you are both potter and clay.

Be grateful; unfold in quiet radiance.

A flame will illuminate your way.

Laugh softly at your mistakes,

Knowing they, too, belong to your journey.

Failure is not an ending,

But a threshold,

An invitation to begin again,

And again…

Each attempt carving new pathways of thought,

Each step awakening a hidden grace.

You are what you dream.

You are what you believe.

You are what you dare to create.

Let these thoughts rise like a tide of possibilities,

Trusting in the deep intelligence of your own becoming.

Resonation

by Liam

A stillness calls—

Not with sound,

Not with words or melody,

But a breath,

A pulse,

The echos of what lies beyond.

In listening, I dissolve—

A part of the hum,

The endless ringing,

A resonance folding me

Back to the source,

Forward to the now.

This is what holds—

This is what sings—

The quiet truth:

Love,

Unbroken,

Through the beloved.

No beginning, no end,

Just the rhythm of being,

Alive in the silence.

The Blessing of a Poet

by Liam

May a poet’s insight ignite,

Your own deep flame, so outlast their time. 

Your spark, a wick, an ember of life

Will still burn long after the writer has gone.

In your hands, these words becomes a sun,

Its rays, the quiet insight of a page.

Through each thought, a luminous lens,

Dispersing your infinite circumference of wonder.

Though my body may pass onto shadowed rest,

The radiance you awaken will remain.

Threads of gold stitched into the fabric of days,

Binding hearts to horizons of yet-unspoken truth.

May these words dwell, as light in those who seek,

Find endless comfort within their depths.

And in the silence after we have spoke,

May your insights lead those others home.

My Friend called Hope

by Liam

You shine through darkest nights unseen,

In a quiet, steady glow,

The warmth that kindles weary hearts,

And guides through loss and woe.

It’s in those shadows deep and dreary,

When light feels far away,

It’s your whisper soft that dares me on,

To face another day.

Though storms may rage and doubts arise,

Your strength remains so true,

The faithful spark, untouched by fear,

That leads me always through.

I am the flame that won’t go out,

The spark you cannot see,

A gentle, quiet, steadfast friend—

I am hope—and I am free.

Embrace Gratitude 

by Liam

Be grateful for ….

Gratitude rises, gentle as the dawn,

Unlocking life’s fullness, so pure and wide;

What once felt scarce now feels warmly drawn,

A wealth within where little did reside.

Gratitude softens denial, let’s unfold,

And chaos yields to quiet order’s flow;

Confusion clears a steady truth takes hold,

Perceptions weave in peace where tangled thoughts would go.

My humble meal becomes a joyous feast,

Four walls take warmth and turn into a home;

A stranger’s face reveals a friend released,

New light discovered where we thought alone.

With gratitude’s touch, our world finds its grace—

Caress the smallest moment each held in soft embrace.

Awaken to the mystery

by Liam

May you wake each day

To the quiet pulse of wonder,

Feeling the current of new ideas

Which stir beneath your surface,

Like the cosmic river of stars across each night.

Let your thoughts explore, fly,

Through that open doorway into the unknown,

Follow them, step through, heart quickening 

To the thrill of a fresh discovery,

The mystery is as yet untouched, unnamed, untamed.

Be alive to the unexpected,

That quiet astonishment

Hidden in each moment—

The way light bends through leaves,

Or a familiar voice finds a new song singing, 

Savor each drop from this well of wonder,

This feast of beauty and daring,

For once the mind awakens to its depths,

It becomes a lasting passion,

Forever a refuge to your wandering wondering soul.

The River

by Liam

Before she reaches the delta of surrender,

the river reflects, trembling with its wisdom.

She feels the memory of mountains behind her,

the cradle of stone from which she sprang,

the whisper of forest leaves she carried,

the villages her nourishment watered,

the winding ways she carved with song.

Before her now, the waters-edge of all she was—

the vast arch of the wild blue ocean.

It’s here her story seems poised to vanish,

forgotten in the endlessness of sea.

Yet there is no return, no retreating.

No refusing the law of nature’s anatomy,

for the journey only leads onward,

toward something vaster, greater than herself.

So she yields, surrenders to the oceanic embrace,

and as her waters merge into that vast unknown,

Her fear washes away like a final shadow of night.

For she has not been lost, nor scattered,

but gathered—gathered into the fullness

of her own becoming,

by dissolving into the wholeness 

of who she’s always been.

The Gift

by Liam

The greatest gift you can ever give someone isn’t wrapped in shiny paper or found in department stores. It’s the quiet, profound permission you offer that says, You are safe here. You are seen. It’s the kind of gift that whispers, “You don’t need to change or shrink; just be.” It’s a gift that lets someone breathe freely, knowing they are enough—perfectly and beautifully enough—just as they are.

When you give someone the feeling of being enough, you become a mirror that reflects their light, their beauty, their worth. You help them strip away layers of doubt and insecurity, revealing a person who is radiant and whole. They no longer have to perform or prove themselves in your presence. You create a space where they can just be, where they are loved simply for existing.

This isn’t a gift of grand gestures or loud declarations; it’s the steady reassurance, the soft reminder, the comforting presence that stands with them in moments of uncertainty. You offer a safe harbor, a place where they can stand tall in their truth, knowing they are neither too much nor too little. They are, simply and profoundly, enough.

When you give this gift, you become a light in their darkest corners, the warmth in their moments of doubt. You become the one who truly sees them, beyond any masks they wear, beyond their fears. And because you see them, they start to believe in themselves again. They learn that love isn’t something they need to earn—they already deserve it.

This is the gift that transforms everything. It’s the gift of belonging, of being truly seen and held, of feeling welcomed just as they are. In giving this, you tell them, with every word, every glance, every action: You are whole. You are worthy. You are enough. And that’s a gift no one can ever take away.

The Sixth Day

by Liam

Creation never stopped on the sixth day—

it moves still, beneath the radiant glow of mornings,

in the dark pull of tides and the leaning of trees toward light.

It breathes through us, between our words or letters,

in the spaces we think are empty,

yet are full with the pulse of the unseen.

We call it love,

though it is older than the name we give it—

a force that knows no stopping,

rising in us like a river breaking its own banks,

flooding us with the ache of becoming.

It walks beside us,

in the ordinary moments we miss—

in the turn of a leaf, the warmth of skin,

the sudden silence when the heart remembers

it has always belonged

to something infinite,

something that has never once paused even, 

After the sixth day.

Incinerate

by Liam

Being is my quiet light,

A flame that flickers through the threads of time,

Bringing warmth, a slow unveiling,

Guiding me like the compass of wisdom,

Where whispers of insight stir the dawn winds,

Delicate as breath, vast as sky.

Let me be open, wide as the horizon unbroken,

Untethered from the weight of this moment.

Do not let fear tighten my heart’s expanse,

For we are vast, we are much more than we know,

We call upon the stars, and they answer,

Gathering themselves into the constellations of our longing.

And should I step beyond the walls

That preconception and creed have built,

And enter those fields where spirit runs wild?

For, as Rumi speaks:

“To be a candle is no light thing;

One must burn before offering flame.”

Yes, I too shall burn—

Not to diminish, but to dissolve the feeble self,

To melt away the bonds of thought and be reborn,

Liberated, my soul expands to touch the edges of the infinite.

In this fire, I claim my niche,

Yet, with the same breath, my belonging to every thing.

I am the ripple, I am the wave, I am the sea,

I am the ever-moving tide of being.

Be true.

Be the deep, ancient pulse of life.

Be boundless.

Be free.

Burn—and in that burning, become.
