Pleasures of the Soul

Posted on by

What if . . .
we remember the
love
joy
pleasure
and gifts
of every relationship
we have ever experienced

Rather than . . .
holding onto the
sorrow
regrets
bitterness
and pain
of separation
from our original intent?

THIS is how our Soul
views our life
reveling in the pleasure
of every experience
for the pure love of life.

Why not live as the Soul does
savoring the pleasure
of every relationship
every experience
and every nuance of life?

When we live as the Soul does
we realize there is nothing to heal
the earth doesn’t need our healing
humanity doesn’t need our healing
we don’t need healing

All that’s needed is
a change in our perspective
to see as the Soul sees
to experience as the Soul experiences
and to live as the Soul lives
for the pure Love of Life.

Free as a Child

Posted on by

A child is content
to build castles in the sand
knowing they will be washed away
with the next tide,
then returns the following day
to build another
ever more glorious castle.

The wisdom of our own inner child
knows that what it builds today
need not be grasped onto
need not be protected
need not be entombed,
simply lived to the fullest
in this joyous moment.

Ah, to be the child
with our dreams and creations
enjoying them to the fullest
with playful delight
in this present moment
then allowing them to return
to the infinite sea of creation.

Ah, to be the child again
living life
joyously, freely, openly
knowing we are infinite beings.

You Are Here

Posted on by

As your old stories come to closure
the path behind you becomes insignificant
making space for new unanticipated outcomes

It doesn’t matter how you got here
you are here and your radiance shines brightly
knowing all is well in all of creation.

Discontent

Posted on by

Much of our discontent stems from
the conflict between our human mind
and the multidimensional world
our soul knows to be real.

The less we attempt to engage
in the old manner
the more expanded
our consciousness becomes
and the more satisfying
every aspect of life becomes.

Being Fully Present

Posted on by

Memory loss
can be a two edged sword.

One edge cutting away
all that’s no longer desired
all that no longer resonates with
my new expanded consciousness

The other edge is cutting away
daily routines and mindless habits
along with lifetime friends and family
in support of the old memories

One we judge as advantageous
the other disruptive
and yet. . .
are they not both of value?

For both force us to be
fully present in the now moment
where antiquated
memory, habits, and beliefs
are no longer running our lives.

So next time my mind blanks out
forgetting what I was doing
I have to ask:
Was it even important?

If not, it will simply
disappear from my life
allowing space for
something new and more vital

And if it’s important
it will cycle back around
and be fully present with me
at the exact appropriate moment. 

Therefore I can be at peace
with the perfect flow of life
knowing this moment
is the only one that matters.

My Own Divine Nature

Posted on by

Soft
gentle
contentment

I have no need
to control
nor manipulate

I only need
to be in alignment
with my own Divine nature

And therein lies my
soft
gentle
contentment

At the core of my BEing
that flows with
the same grace
that creates worlds.

Sovereign Being

Posted on by

A Sovereign being
is the consummation
of the purity of All that is you
held within the chalice of your heart
as all the aspects of your GodSelf

A Sovereign being
is not a patchwork of
repeating other people’s words
following other people’s beliefs
or mimicking other people’s actions

A sovereign being
courageously steps away
from all they’ve been taught
no longer searching outside themselves
for what they know is within

A sovereign being
is in constant expansion
fully conscious with heart open wide
soft and yielding, flowing organically with life
without the need for boundaries

A Sovereign being
is bright in their radiance
content in their countenance
and at peace with
Who they Are.

Sweet Bliss of the Breeze

Posted on by

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

Posted on by

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.

Smitten

Posted on by

I awoke
smitten with the Love affair
that’s blossoming with my Self.

Enamored by the Love
that’s always present
ever flowing
never judging.

Infatuated with the Joy
that bubbles up from within
for no reason
other than I exist.

Enchanted by the Magic
that playfully
continues to awaken
new aspects of me.

Besotted with the flow
of everyday life
as I allow it
to have its way with me.

No longer caught up in the old adages
of a human style love affair
addled with requirements
and unrequited expectations.

Back in the arms of the Divine
sweet gentle embraced and content
crazy mad in Love with my Self
smitten in the knowing of Who I Am.
