Trusting the Body’s Intelligence

Posted on by

I’ve learned to trust my body,
rather than inter~fear with it.
I don’t fear that it will get ill.
I don’t fear that it will get fat.
Nor do I fear that it will grow old and decrepit.
Yes, my body will age,
but my body has no desire to suffer.

My body lives in grace
because I love my body
respond to its simple requests
and trust my body’s intelligence
to do what it knows best
to continually thrive
without my inter~fear~ance.

Garden of Eden

Posted on by

To see beauty
where there is none.

To recognize
the Garden of Eden
that is still
very much alive
beneath our feet.

This is Enlightenment.

This simple change
in perception
is enough
to transform
our world.

I Am Full

Posted on by

 

Light as a feather,
… drifting on the breeze.
Luminous as the sun,
… in all its splendor.
Beautiful as a flower,
… unfolding its petals.
Graceful as a dancer,
… each step in harmony.
Joyful as a child,
… in mindless wonder.
Playful as the faeries,
… in whimsical magic.
Peaceful as the Buddha,
… with each and every breath.
Bountiful as a tree,
… its branches heavy with fruit.
Grateful from my heart,
… to be so full.
I AM FULL ~*

Can you feel

And ’tis my reminder

Tending the garden of my mind
with nurturing thoughts

Rose of Sharon

Posted on by

Petals unfurl in the shimmering mist
in velvet folds, soft and rich
droplets of dew shine like pearls
on you, the rose of Sharon.

Your fragrance fills the air so sweet
wafting across hills and vales
in the rapture of morning’s light
you, the rose of Sharon.

It hasn’t always been this way
a life of velvet and sweet perfume
many a blossom failed to open
as the rose of Sharon.

Thorns appear where never planned
at the time it may bring tears
but in the end tears turn to dew
crowning the rose of Sharon.

Now your petals unfurl in the sun
dancing in the sway of the breeze
sweet and sensual, fragrant and free
you, the rose of Sharon.

You’re the rose of Sharon
a beautiful rose of Sharon
Love embodied, radiant light
a beautiful, beautiful rose.

Love embodied, radiant light
a beautiful, beautiful rose.
a beautiful rose of Sharon.

“Consumed by Love” or “The Beloved One”,

Sister Gaia

Posted on by

From the depth of the earth to the height of the mountains
From the turbulent sea to the gentle rain
From the dark of night to the brilliant sun
From the quiet stillness to the roar of the wind
It matters not, for I love it all.
Oh my sister Gaia,
I bring my love to you,
I love it all.

When I walk the earth love seeps from my feet
As I pocket special rocks along the path
I am a caretaker of plants and trees
Grateful to share their abundance
How much matters not, for I’m so grateful for it all.
Oh my sister Gaia,
I bring my love to you,
I love it all.

I roam with the animals open to their wisdom
Soar with birds free in spirit
I attune to the earth with my blessings of song
Playing in gentle harmonies.
Oh my sister Gaia,
I bring my love to you,
I love it all.

I’m very grateful, so very very grateful.
Oh my sister Gaia,
I love you so.

Sing and Play

Posted on by

Lift your voice and sing,
Let the praises ring.
Alleluia, sing and play.

Joy is in the air,
Feel it everywhere.
Alleluia, sing and play.

See delight in life,
Let go of toil and strife.
Alleluia, sing and play.

Open up your heart,
Let the feelings start.
Alleluia, sing and play.

Live your life with zeal,
Know that joy is real.
Alleluia, sing and play.

Language of Love

Posted on by

Words are not enough
for the language of love
words will never be enough
for the infinite presence of Love.

Words can never be enough
until Love speaks through our hearts
warm and kind, filled with compassion
with its gentle embrace.

Words can never be enough
until Love speaks through our joy
Love’s splendor knows no bounds
bursting forth with delight.

Words can never be enough
until Love speaks through our soul
Love’s wisdom flows pure and simple
guiding us with grace.

Words can never be enough
until Love speaks through our breath
the breath of life, breath of creation
breath of all-that-is.

Words can never be enough
until we dip into the well of Love
flowing with passion
flowing with beauty
flowing with infinite bliss.

Words are not enough for the Divinity of Love
Words can never be enough
because the infinite Presence of Love simply is…
Love simply is …

Morning Prayer

Posted on by

Bless this day. Oh hear me pray,
Bathing in the light of the sun’s first rays.

Birds on high, soar thru the sky,
They haven’t any worries, nor should I.

While in the fields, flowers bloom,
Petals are unfurling in sweet perfume.

Round their stems, the bees fly free,
Sipping on the honey, why aren’t we.

For we are heard, and we are blessed
With everything provided, our mind’s at rest.

As we all bloom, and we all fly
Sipping on life’s honey, you and I.

Our prayers are heard, we’re always blessed,
Thank you for this glorious day.
