Lessons of the Fae

Posted on by

Deep in the forest
away from menacing eyes
a secret world awaits
for those who doth explore
the nooks and crannies of nature
beyond this human world

Step through the veils
the Fae invite
and see what ye shall find
a world of enchantment
a world of play
a world a’brim with magick

Pull up a rock
and have a seat
for tea is always brewing
along with whispers
of dreams coming true
beyond this human realm

There’s much to learn
through the play of the Fae
for their lessons all come with glee
for what are lessons if not for Joy
laced with music and dancing galore.

Being Nameless

Posted on by

Can you be comfortable
being nameless?

Possessing an I-dentity
whether it be a name
a profession or
description of self
will always create a “dent”
in our ability to transcend
our human perspective of self
as opposed to experiencing
the totality of our Godself
who is All-That-Is
with no need for an Identity.

How you Feel

Posted on by

How you feel
is much more important
than what you do

For your actions
are always influenced
by your feelings

An action based in love
is far more miraculous
than an action based in hostility

An action based in compassion
is far more benevolent
than an action based in pity

And action based in gratitude
is far more expansive
than an action based in jealousy

An action based in joy
is far more inspiring
than an action based in obligation

An action based in peace
is far more paramount
than an action based in fear

Go deep
and feel deeply
before choosing
how to take action.

Expanded Consciousness

Posted on by

 

The more my consciousness
expands with the desire
to know all of who I Am
the more sensitive I become

As ancient walls
of protection dissolve
I feel raw and exposed
vulnerable and unsafe

I feel hypersensitive
bombarded by so much
inconsequential energy
and excessive noise

My human self calls out
to shrink back behind
the walls of protection
that no longer exist

Meanwhile, my Soul is savoring
newly discovered delights
from my pallet of passion
which has felt void for far too long

Overwhelmed by it all
we have forgotten
that expanded consciousness
comes with it’s own innate gifts

Consciousness gifts us
with the ability to choose
to filter out the noise and distractions
of the discomforts and sensitivities

By simply choosing
my own point of consciousness
in every given moment
I Am free and secure

No longer living
in a world void of life
my consciousness offers
sensual delights

The old facades fade away
juicy centers are exposed
my passion runs deep
and my joy bubbles forth

’Tis the gift of expanded consciousness
that returns me to the fullness of life
exposes my juicy sensual passion
and the knowing of Who I Am.

Flow of Life

Posted on by

The flow of life is
simple and easy
gracious and welcoming
effortless and without angst

It doesn’t require
any efforting
or energy manipulation
only a conscious choice
and a true desire
to live in this flow
rather than our old
habitual patterns

It feels so obvious
when a former pattern
slips back in
because it feels
SO out of alignment
with who we
now know
ourselves to be

A simple refocusing
is all it takes
to return to the
wondrous adventure
of consciously
navigating life
as the embodiment
of the I AM
in this physical body

Oh the joy
of living in the
open ended “YES”
in answer to
the eternal offerings
of the Universe!

Creating with the Divine

Posted on by

I am not a warrior
here to fight the battle
of good vs bad

I am a creator
birthing a new reality
rooted peace and harmony
without laying blame
or guilt upon another

I create with
the purity of the Divine.

Blended Human

Posted on by

The child within me
continues to giggle
with the playfulness of life

The crone within me
has gathered the wisdom
from all my experiences

Together
they blend into a
wise
loving
compassionate
joyful
human

Who savors
and honors
all the sacred gifts
of being human
in union with
Mother Nature
who has always been
my most esteemed
partner in life.

Passage of the Sovereign Being

Posted on by

The Sovereign being
passes through the eye of the needle
naked, alone, in serenity and simplicity,
having left everything of the old behind
after surrendering it all to their GodSelf.

‘Tis a quiet passage lingering in the void
as one acclimates and orients
to the expansion of consciousness,
drifting in multidimensionality,
free of time and space.

And with divine timing,
although the landscape has changed,
all that you held dear and left behind
returns transformed by the power of your Love
and Alas!!! The magic begins….

Nothing was lost,
everything gained,
as you dream your new life into being
perfectly aligned with with All-That-Is
in a playground of joyous creation.

As a Sovereign being,
with a fully open heart,
you glance back at the eye of the needle
and bow in gratitude to your human self
for the courage to step on through.

When I Go Within

Posted on by

When I go within
I experience
a glittering ballroom
with enchanting music
inviting me to create
a whole new
series of dance steps
to express more of
Who I Am Becoming
with each and every moment.
