New Pathways of Consciousness

Posted on by

Our ability to sit in the silence
our ability to align with our heart
our ability to expand our awareness
our ability to focus on the beauty and joy of life

These are our sacred Gifts that can only be accessed
once we have cleared the debris that clutters the mind

Our Inner Being always lies silent
awaiting our communion
to pave new pathways of Consciousness.

Mystery within the Mundane

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

Life itself is pure magic
the sensuality of it
effortlessly drawing 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 ways
reproducing more
of what already exists

By surrendering
my old ways of creating
I revel in observing
the magic of creation
with new awareness
and new appreciation

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

Moon Within Me

Posted on by

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.
