Stand Firm

Posted on by

The collective unconscious
is bubbling to the surface
through the murky waters of the past
playing out through archetypical roles
and the bane of karmic characters
the curtain’s pulled back on the global stage
revealing our interconnections
in relationship with others
relationship with self
and relationship with the Divine.

Remain present in the now
with your golden gilded heart
as you observe the antiquated stage
refrain from engaging
in the timeworn past
as the murky bubbles
surface and pop
effortlessly dissolving
returning into the illusion
from once they came.

It is your Love of self
and your Love for humanity
that has stirred these mirky waters
no longer willing to live captive
to a past that continues to recycle
the density of the accumulating silt
from the fear of the unknown.
’Tis time to Love yourself
and to Love humanity
through the chaos and confusion.

You are the Love
You are the Clarity
You are the Divine catalyst
that stands firm in the midst of transition.
Be gentle with yourself
be kind to one another
knowing that . . .
within your heart space
a New Earth is shimmering
in the wake of the still waters that ensue.

Soft Surrender to the Power of the Divine

Posted on by

I awoke enveloped in softness
a peaceful gentle softness
taking me deeper into the core of my Beingness
without the need to rush into the day.

I awoke enveloped in softness
relaxed and fluid
free of the angst of the world
without any need for protection or barriers.

Funny how we think of soft and gentle
as weak and cowardice,
when in reality
with softness
I feel no need to be brave and strong.

Instead,
I feel a strength in being soft and gentle
for it is rooted in Love and Peace
at the sweet sweet center of the feminine
in soft surrender to the power of my Divinity.

Living by Divine Law

Posted on by

It takes a very strong and courageous person
to walk away from the old way of being
away from what others believe in
away from what you’ve been taught
away from what you’ve believed in all your life
away from the habitual way of living
into the unknown. . .

It takes a strong and courageous person
to lead the way
aligned with your Inner Being
trusting your Divine Wisdom
that’s aligned with your GodSelf
rather than the subservient human
who has been blindly following the pack.

You are living via Divine Law
rather than the laws of man, which are transient
You are in alignment with All-That-Is
This is your Knowing…. This is your passion.
Take a deep breath and renew yourself
with the Breath of Source, the strength of Source.
Breathe deeply… and forge ahead.

There is only Love

Posted on by

The canyon that looms before you
causes your mind to tremble
afraid to take the leap,
but the closer you approach
the sooner you realize
it is the canyon of Divine Love.

You have feared the abyss
feared the unknown
afraid to take the leap.

Fear not Beloveds!
for by taking the leap
there are only two results.

One is to land on the other side
with your feet firmly
on the ground of Divine Love.
The other is to drop into the abyss
and be fully absorbed
into the Presence of Divine Love.

Thus I ask you,
why not take the Leap
because. . .
There is only Love.

Stepping into the Unknown

Posted on by

When everything has been jarred loose
and life no longer makes sense
‘tis because the life
to which you have been clinging
no longer serves you

You feel adrift as your mind flounders
going from one piece to the other
trying to put the old pieces together
a new whole new way
but they no longer fit

Alas,
the mind finally surrenders to the fatigue
allowing the old pieces to drift away
on the current that jarred them loose

When your mind finally stirs
the landscape it once knew
has been transformed
into a barren wasteland

And yet…
your Soul knows something better awaits . . .

In this moment a new doorway appears
the light from within beckons you
a doorway you were unable to see
while obscured by the old landscape

Your Soul gently takes your hand
and begins walking
toward the unknown
one step at a time

Your mind wants to back track
but your Soul gently urges you forward

With a deep breath
of trepidation
you step through the doorway
into the unknown

With your next breath
everything your heart has always known
everything you’ve been yearning for
is instantaneously revealed

Once you step through
the doorway of the Soul
you realize….
there is nothing but Love.

Walking into the Unknown

Posted on by

You have walked
out of the old world
into the unknown.

You have walked
where others
fear to tread.

‘Tis your footsteps
that lead the way,
abolishing all fear.

‘Tis your footsteps
that leave trails of Love
inviting others to follow
to walk into the the unknown
with Joy in their hearts.

Freedom of Sovereignty

Posted on by

No one can give you the freedom you seek
freedom is yours, and yours alone
as a sovereign being.

It is only when you trust your Self enough
to live sovereign and unencumbered
from the collective consciousness.

It is only when you trust your Inner Wisdom
and your heart’s Knowing above all else
that are you truly free.

Being courageous enough
to live a life that may be misunderstood,
unseen, or unacknowledged by others
is the ultimate freedom of sovereignty.

Quagmires of the Mind

Posted on by

When you have the courage
to step beyond
the quagmires of the mind
onto your Soul Path

The mind will eventually
fall in step beside you
allowing your Light
to guide the way
toward expanded
new adventures.

Yes I Am!!!

Posted on by

The words “yes, but….”
will reap you more of the same
with even more intensity.

Why not wipe the word “but”
from your vocabulary
and shout. . .

YES, I AM committed to this new way of being!!
YES, I AM willing to do what it takes!
YES, I LOVE ME enough to follow through without any more excuses!!!

The Way of Love

Posted on by

On days like this I need you near me
On days like this I need your help
I ask for courage. I ask for strength
I ask you to walk beside me hand in hand.

Amidst my angst, I need a friend
Amidst my turmoil I need peace
Chaos surrounds me. I’ve lost my way.
I ask you to walk beside me hand in hand.

In times like these I need a partner.
In times like this I need support.
My vision is clouded. I need clarity.
I ask you to walk beside me hand in hand.

To show me the way of love, the way of trust,
the way of acceptance with compassion.
Show me the way of grace.
Show me the way.

With you beside me my view expands
With you beside me I see what’s real
I sink into my heart
and always live from love.

When you walk beside me hand in hand
I know the way of love, I live in trust,
I live in acceptance with compassion,
I know the way of grace.
I know the way.

When you walk beside me hand in hand
I know the way of Love,
I know Love.
