Mystical Embrace of the Moon

Posted on by

The full moon had her way with me
as she always does
seducing me into a sleepless night
while shrouding me in the mystic

I have long ago learned
to simply allow her wily ways
for she is ancient and wise
and has never steered me wrong

She beckons me high into the sky
expanding my consciousness
to see my world free of illusions
beyond the grasp of the mind

She lures me into her sacred embrace
during the darkest of the night
revealing the subtleties that cannot be seen
in the squinting glare of the sun

Together we expose the mysteries
divining all the answers
to the questions I first posed
when her back was to the sun

We listen to the hushed whispers
hearing the truth behind people’s words
in their times of broken heartedness
to soothe them with our love and compassion.

We lingered in the present moment
free of the past or future
beyond the concept of time and space
savoring All-That-Is

This morning the dawn shines brightly
with nary a moments sleep
and yet I am fully sated
by the mystical embrace of the moon.

Transcending our Thinking

Posted on by

There is no turning back
once we open ourselves
to living in the unknown

Sometimes my mind feels like
it’s courting chaos while attempting
to maintain the linear order of life

But my soul is soaring
because it’s always in the know
with moment to moment revelations

No wonder the mind feels threatened
with new potentials appearing
faster than the mind can keep up

It is in opening to all of life
the known and the unknown
that we transcend our human thinking.

Herein lies our Peace
our childlike wonderment
and our impetus to Thrive.

Embodiment

Posted on by

For many years
we’ve been speaking
spiritual words
spiritual concepts
spiritual teachings.

For many years
we’ve been seeking
we’ve been the students
we’ve been the teachers
we’ve become the gurus.

Oh my Beloveds,those years are past . . .

Mental jargon
only continues to
spin more tales
and add to the many tomes
of enlightenment.

A shift in consciousness
can only occur
when you dive deeply
into the frailties
of your humanness.

It requires you
to fully embody
the words
the concepts
the teachings.

What you will discover
is that the human
has never been frail
it is only the mind
that is frail.

What you will discover
by diving deeply
into the human experience
is the true knowing
of Who You Are.

Disillusion

Posted on by

Disillusion with life
is our awakening
to the awareness
that life as we’ve known it
is no longer our reality.

Disillusion
is the recognition
that it was simply a story
we created to experience life
with all of its aspects.

Disillusion
is our soul’s desire
to distance ourselves
from the illusion
that was never real.

Disillusion
is a gift from our soul
a gift of awakening
to embody the truth
of Who We Are.

Do not allow disillusion
to taint your illustrious life
with old perceptions
that no longer serve
and hold you captive.

Instead . . .
celebrate the dis-illusion
allow the dissonance
to dissolve of its own accord
by celebrating
new perceptions
of a new reality
being gifted to you
by your Soul.

Words of the Heart

Posted on by

There are times when
words no longer serve
because they have become lost
in the unconscious
duplicitous semantics.

That’s the time
to drop the words
rooted in duality
and seek the core of truth
which speaks clearly
from heart to heart.

Creating Freely

Posted on by

The first part of my life was spent
filling my mind with facts and figures
chocking it full of information
so I could speak with intelligence
to be accepted by society
as an integral part of the world

Until my mind became so overrun
with accumulated facts and figures
bursting with so much information
as the thought process sifted and churned
stuck in ceaseless circuits of judgement
that there was no space to freely ponder

The second part of my life
has been spent weeding through
a multitude of files of information
tossing antiquated so called facts
which by now were no longer fact
because the world is evolving so rapidly

Finally returning to the origins of life
when my mind was a clear palette
awaiting colorful brush stokes
to create openly and freely
to express my heart’s
pure Joy of Being.

Depth of Listening

Posted on by

The pitter patter of words
at times they are
the expression of who we are
what we are feeling
what we are experiencing.

At other times
they constrict us
from expanding
beyond the mind
where there are no words.

Consider your words
use them wisely
simplify when speaking to those
who do not speak
your spiritual language.

Maintain the silence
when there is more to offer
than mere words
for in the silence
the depth of listening heals all.

The sound of our of words
carry great power
and….
the lack of words
can be equally as powerful.

Welcome to the Renaissance

Posted on by

Welcome to the Renaissance
the evolution of humanity
the transcendence of duality
the reemergence of the Divine.

In order to transcend duality
we realize everything that presents itself
serves a divine purpose
for our awakening.

old wounds are surfacing
for compassionate healing

ingrained habits questioned
to break out of old molds

antiquated beliefs examined
to create new systems

all stirring up life
as we’ve known it

all for our observation
free of right or wrong

no need to defend
no need to fix anything

This Renaissance is calling forth
loving compassionate hearts 
for all who are in turmoil

the renewal of faith and trust
in the goodness of one another

open minds to the genesis
of new potentials

the honoring of each other’s
sacred individual soul journeys

and most of all. . .
the reawakening
of the Divine in each of us.

Remember . . .

Posted on by

There is a sacred space
that holds the answers
to all the mysteries
that have been eluding us

That space is deep within us
just below our deepest breath
just below the surface of the silence
just below the clouds of confusion

That space is the space
that integrates the purity
of the human and the Divine
as our GodSelf

Breath deeply, Beloved
relax into the silence
of your Inner Being
and ask to remember.
