Your Presence of Love

You entered the world on a beam of light
radiant being filled with wonder
You danced in on a song of Love
bringing joy and delight.

You came in with a message of hope
a wealth of wisdom and compassion
You ushered in a time of harmony
with hope of a better world, a world of peace.

Your gift of presence, simple and pure
expands and grows, touching all.
Your hope and wisdom, love and joy,
awaken us to a world of pure delight.

You touched our hearts, they’re bursting open,
with your presence Love now grows.
You fill our hearts to overflowing
with your presence Love now grows.

With your presence, Love grows.

It Takes an Open Heart

It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
when it’s beyond
my present understanding.

It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
to grow and expand beyond
the limitations of a closed mind.

It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
without judgment and the need
to sway them to my beliefs.

It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
from a place of compassion
honoring each unique soul path.

It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
to create a thriving community
with the diversity shared by all.

It takes an open heart
to expand our consciousness
personally and collectively
as creators of Heaven on Earth.

Peace of Mind

“Peace of mind”
is the grace
being called forth
amidst the chaos.

Peace originates
in the heart
where there is
no judgment
no identity
no need to defend.

Peace originates
in the heart
where love abides
for all that is
without the need
to interfere.

It is only the mind
that is thronging
with insistent chatter.

When we sink into the heart
herein lies the grace of
“Peace of Mind”.

Transformation of Anger

Someone pulled the pin on a grenade of visceral anger
that’s been unconsciously buried deep within me
from a long time ago.

My first reaction was toward the one who incited this anger
the one who tread upon my heart, then turned the other cheek
a story from my past.

As I sat with this anger,
allowing it to bubble and churn
allowing it to effortlessly flow out of me
without allowing it to fester, without the need to process,
I realized I am the one I have been angry with all these years
for taking it all on, for shrinking into unworthiness
for playing the victim, for groveling for acceptance
allowing someone else to control my life
for a few tidbits of superficial love.

In that moment of realization
my raging anger was spontaneously transformed
by a flood of loving compassion
for the part of me who never felt accepted
for she who never felt seen for who she truly is
for the one that was afraid to stand up for herself
for fear of being rejected
for the one who did not recognize herself
as the precious being that she is.

In that moment of consciousness
the grenade of anger exploded into a burst of love
in which I now stand strong as a sovereign being
with my head held high with an open radiant heart.

To the one who unknowingly pulled the pin on my grenade
I surround you in love and compassion
for I know you were lashing out in response
unaware of the pain and anger buried deep within you.

I pray that each one of us is able to consciously awaken
to the love that is always nestled side by side
in compassion for the anger that’s been buried within us
and may we all stand tall with open radiant hearts.

Surrender to my Soul

When the human slows down
the Soul steps in
when the human goes quiet
the Soul shares its wisdom

When I surrender to my Soul
a magnet of passion
effortlessly attracts
all that I desire to me

Herein lies
my peace
my joy
and my well-being.

Alchemy of Love

By surrendering
to the alchemy of Love
fear is transformed into trust
doubt into wisdom
tears into grace
judgement into compassion
and chaos into harmony.

Sweet Bliss of the Breeze

SWEET BLISS OF THE BREEZE

There are days when
our soul is calling out
to withdraw from the world
to do nothing more
than simply swing
in the sweet bliss of the breeze
savoring our earthly garden
allowing our physicality to rest
to take a deep breath
and enjoy all the abundance
that is blossoming around us
while listening to the sweet whispers
of our infinite Divinity.

Gentle Sweetness to Life

The human
who has been conditioned
to living in duality
is always seeking
something more
to push beyond their limits
to attain more success
to experience more drama
only to crash and burn
as the pendulum swings
in the opposite direction.

Even spirituality
has one on a path
of constantly seeking
more of themselves
expansion of the I Am
attainment of a higher path
the expression of goodness
eradication of darkness
an escalation of the light
a more explosive
orgasmic experience.

Between the excessive
swings of the pendulum
there is a zero point
a stillness
a silence
a point of balance
a sense of harmony
when we pause
and take a breath
the extremes
of the pendulum cease.

When we
abandon the search
of reaching outside ourselves
when we listen and abide
by our innate rhythms
a sublime pleasure
sweeps through us
and at our core
we discover
there is a gentle
sweetness to life.

I Live my Life Intentionally

I live my life intentionally
intentional Love
intentional Peace
intentional Joy.

Do life’s twists and turns effect me?
Indeed they do
that’s how I grow
that’s how life evolves.

Do I allow them to run my life?
why would I do that
when I have the ability
to create my own reality.

I live my life intentionally
intentional Love
intentional Peace
intentional Joy.

My mantra is
Ease and Grace
and
therein lies my Peace.

Purity of the Moment

Having released so much
I rest in the purity
of this moment
this spaciousness
this no-thing-ness
without the desire
to fill it

Instead I allow
my new resonance
to draw to me
that which
is in harmony
with this moment
leading effortlessly
into the next
and the next
and the next. . .
