Mystery within the Mundane

It is our belief
in the illusion of separation
between the human and divine
that holds our precious dreams at bay

These mystical dreams
have always been here
seeded in the stardust and light codes
flowing through our ancient bloodlines

It is via our relationship
with the simplicity of life
and deep sensual experiences
that we know the ground is sacred

It is within this sacredness
that we discover the mystery
within the mundane
where all our dreams reside.

Sweetness of Life

The delicate scent of roses
a reminder of how sweet and precious
the benevolence of each moment of life is
when we savor the beauty and grace
always present for our enjoyment.

Surface of Life

How often we allow
the demands of society
to rob us of the innate sensuality
that lies deep beneath
the superficial surface of life

Rather than being fully present
with the sweet scent of a rose
succulent juice of a peach
glitter of raindrops
vibrant colors of the sky
radiant warmth of the sun
touch of silk sliding across skin
or an intimate glance of love.

You are Glowing

How often
we get so occupied
by our “stuff”

We don’t ever pause
to see how far
we have come

I’m not talking years
or even months
I’m talking days

Take a deep breath
and notice how different
you are from yesterday

Bravo, my BeLoveds
You are Glowing!

Fresh and New

The purity of the Soul
does not harbor any
shadows of the past
always experiencing life
fresh and new

Your past self
your past dreams
never disappear
but are transformed
and integrated
into the new You

When we surrender to our Soul
we are reborn, fresh and new
living the passion of the Soul
in a joyous rendezvous
of eternal expansion

When we surrender to our Soul
we are naturally enlightened
our purpose rekindled
and elevated to the
most imaginable beauty.

Many Paths

There are many paths
up the mountain
to experience
our expanded consciousness
and enjoy the beauty
of the view

Find the one that suits you
and take it at your own speed
while allowing others
to follow theirs
knowing we’ll meet again
at the summit
where a bountiful
feast awaits.

Expressions of Joy

Joy expresses itself in a multitude of ways

for the one who is just coming out of trauma
it can be a flicker of light amidst the darkness

for the one birthing a child
it’s a joyous burst of unconditional love

for the one walking the forest
it’s an appreciation for the beauty of nature

for the one in relationship
it’s the pleasure of sharing with another

for the artist
it’s an infinite array of color

for the musician
it’s an intricate harmony

for the poet
it’s articulated with words

for the mystic
it’s the contentment of being

for the child
it’s the glee of life itself

Joy can be quiet and sublime
Joy can be explosive and exuberant

The ultimate Joy
is when we realize
joy is innate
always present
pulsing through our blood
as the stardust
from which we’ve incarnated.

Magic of Creation

Life itself is pure magic
the sensuality of it
effortlessly draws me
into its creation
to savor and enjoy
with sheer delight.

There is nothing I need do
for my human attempts
are poor imitations
of manipulating energy
in tired old way
reproducing more
of what already exists.

The magic of creation
is the joy of expressing
with its radiance
effortlessly dancing
throughout all of life
continually creating anew.

I surrender my old ways
of attempting to create
I revel in observing
the magic of creation
with new awareness
new appreciation.

I step into its sublime beauty
and savor the deliciousness of it
I sing with the playful
etudes of creation
I dance with its infinite
new orchestrations.

Moon Within Me

There is a moon within me
that answers to She in the sky
waxing and waning
with the rhythms of her lunar sequence

Deeply She dives into the darkness
in search of the wisdom
that has been so craftily hidden
on the far side of the moon.

With each successive evening sky
ever so slowly she rotates
revealing her feminine wisdom
one juicy morsel at a time.

Until the full radiance of her face
smiles upon me with all her passion
whispering to me from high in the sky
and from deep within me, I answer.

Universal Language

Universal language is spoken
by the dancing rays of the sun
the soft rustle of the trees
the exuberant songs of the birds
and the splashing of the waves.

It has color, fragrance,
sound and sensuality
all imbued with Love and Joy.

These are the conversations
from which we can
consciously create
our very own paradise
our heaven on earth.
