Facts are facts
until they’re not.
The world was flat
and now it’s round.
Has the world changed?
Have the facts changed?
Or…. have we changed
by expanding our perspective?
Something to ponder
next time you put your faith in facts
rather than your own Inner Knowing.

The Labyrinth of Enlightenment
is a sacred soul journey
of awakening, self-discovery
healing, and transformation
weaving its way from the edges
of our carefully crafted human persona
toward the heart of our Inner Being.
Just when we think we’ve attained
the bliss and goal of nirvana
the chaos of transformation spins us
back out to the edge of the circle
for a more expanded view.
It takes courage and trust to begin
edging our way back to the center again
with our newly acquired wisdom
only to be spun out to the edges
for yet another expanded view.
This divine design is the Soul’s
loving way of guiding us
through our many layers of healing
weaving all our broken or forgotten parts
into full and compete embodiment.
Thus there is no error on our part
all these experiences are essential
to the awakening and embodiment
of the multidimensionality
of our Divinity.
Transformation is not comfortable
for the human aspect of ourselves
but when we surrender
all our fears to our Godself
the path can be one of ease and grace.
Once you reach the center
allow yourself to rest awhile
to savor the distilled wisdom
from all your experiences
before journeying back outward.
Trust that the labyrinth of enlightenment
will always lead you to the center
of your sacred Inner Being
with a more expanded consciousness
and the newly attained divine wisdom
to engage in the world
as the Embodiment of the Divine.

You can’t measure Joy
As soon as you attempt to do so
you dilute it
by measuring it
against someone
or something else.
Joy has many variations
it can be experienced
as a soft warm glow in your heart
a waltz through a field of fragrant wildflowers
or a passionate explosion of life.
But no matter the experience
Joy is Joy
whole and complete unto itself.
You will not find joy
outside of yourself
you will only find it within you
because. . .
Joy is who you are
as a sacred aspect of your Divinity.

Listen, Listen, Oh Listen
Listen to the whispers of your heart
telling you the story of your life
coming into form.
What stories it may tell
of love and joy
yet to be explored
in the gardens
of our long lost fairytales
residing in our hearts.
What songs they may sing
of longings
not to be ignored
along this journey
of heaven on earth
revealing all that’s ours.
Our heart knows
the way to fulfillment
of passions hidden deep
and maps the journey
of life’s greatest joys
with ever flowing ease.
Our hopes and dreams
await patiently
look inside you’ll find
the womb of creation within us
ready to give birth.
Wherever we are
our heart’s there too
so take a breath and see
solutions and answers
to all our woes
as worry fades away.
Our heart heals the wounds
from all the past
bathing us in love
to offer new vision
and clear the path
blessing us with grace.
So open your heart
let your love flow free
out into the world
with open hearts
we can all rejoice
and live our dreams together.
Listen, Listen, Oh Listen
Listen to the whispers of your heart.

Deep in the silence
within my being
a spark of light hovers
radiant and bright
elusive yet real
hidden beyond
the veils of my mind.
Deep in the silence
rests a beingness
free of time and space
free of earthly desires
patiently awaiting
the realization
of who I AM.
Deep in the silence
I find you
every time
I surrender
to the silence
of the omnipotence
of all-that-is.
It is here that I find you
deep in the silence
as the GodSelf
that is me.

Honor your Self
by spending time
free of all distractions
for a day, a week
or even a few hours.
Sense the invitation
from the wisdom of your Soul
to fully experience
the expanded consciousness
that awaits you.
Allow your consciousness
to follow your heart
breaking free of
the old illusions
to create anew.
Immerse yourself
in your Soul’s expression
writing, artwork, music,
time away in nature or
wherever your heart calls.
A commitment made
to spend sacred time
with your GodSelf
will yield gifts
beyond your imagination.

There was a time when…
I needed to know
I needed to understand
before I was willing
to take a step forward.
Now… my steps are taken,
from a place of Trust,
trust in the Divine,
which is beyond anything
my mind could conjure.
Thus… when I feel an urging
to take a step forward
I know ‘tis my Divine purpose,
and there is no need
to understand in advance.
For… every step
has already been laid out
with the intricate precision
of the ultimate intelligence
of the Divine.

With every experience
of expanded consciousness
there is a releasing
of what our mind
thought was real.
Our mind was never wrong
it has simply been functioning
per the programing
that’s been taught
over eons of time.
The mind is now
in the throes of transitioning
beyond the old constricted beliefs
that have brought us to this point
in our evolution.
What we are experiencing now
is an ennobling
and an exultation
of both the mind
and our physical body.
Indeed we often feel threatened
when the mind has gone fuzzy
free of its old way of thinking
not yet comfortable
with the new.
Compassion is the great healer
compassion for the mind
compassion for the body
and an honoring of our courage
to take such a bold step.
Remember Beloveds
you have done nothing wrong
you are simply experiencing
the ennobling and exultation
of your humanness
with expanded consciousness.

Your inner world of silence
has a language of its own.
It speaks without words.
It speaks with your Knowing.

Tears of joy flow
with the passion and realization
of living as I have always
intended for this lifetime
It matters not if it is understood by others
it matters not if it is judged by others
it matters not if others are unaware
of who I Am or what I Am doing
For I AM beyond the mind’s capacity
to explain or understand
and it is my Soul
that validates my way of being
It is my Soul that leads the way
enlivened with the joy and contentment
of experiencing life
while in this physical body.
