Enjoy the Bounty

Posted on by

Life is always in motion
you can either
put on your dance shoes
and cha~cha with it
or sit out the dance
and enjoy observing
the beauty of it.

One is no more right than the other.

What matters most
is that you are fully present
in the moment
rather than allowing yourself
to be unconsciously
pulled along with the masses
nor the spiritual groups.

Allow yourself to
enjoy the bounty
of this precious moment
for you will never
have the opportunity
to experience it again.

Being the Wayshower

Posted on by

I awoke
feeling free of the old matrix
I awoke
feeling an exuberance of joy
I awoke
ready to dance through my day.

And then. . .
the woes of the world intruded

I now have a choice. . .
Do I become encumbered
by the woes of the world?

or…

Do I choose to live a free and joyful life
as a wayshower for others?

Gift of Surrender

Posted on by

With every expansion of consciousness
we awaken to a new experience of Love
which requires the surrendering
of what we thought to be true

Surrender can be as easy
as taking a breath
or
surrender can become
a battle ground for the ego

Whereas the ego thinks
surrender is loosing the battle
a giving up of what it thinks
is right and important

The evolved human knows
surrender is the divine grace
that dissolves all barriers
between us and our Divinity

Take a deep breath
and
Surrender to Love.

I AM wide Open

Posted on by

Standing in the field
of all potentials

No longer enmeshed
by the antics of the mind
No longer constricted
by the laws of man
No longer caught
in the dance of duality

I am Wide Open to receive
I open my heart
I open my hands
I open my entire being
creating space for new Blessings
effortlessly streaming to me.

Dying to the Old

Posted on by

Stripped down
illusions revealed
self-denial rising to the surface
pealing away all that is not Love.

Dying to the old
all that remains
is the core essence
of Who I AM.

Death can be painful
death can also happen
with pure serenity
and sublime grace.

Why fear it
why resist it?
What lies on the other side
is the ultimate freedom and joy.

A new life awaits
do you have the courage
to strip down
die to the old
to birth anew.

Roar of the Heart

Posted on by

Hear the heart roar
’tis the lion’s heart
the heart of courage
the fearless heart
that knows no bounds
the fire of passion
the cauldron of Love
that continues to liberate
the soul’s lust
for a life lived fully.

‘Tis time to take heed
to answer the roar of the heart.

Our New Way of Being

Posted on by

Today is the Mayan Day out of Time
this is not just a one day event
this is our new way of being
being free of the past and the future
allows us to SEE things
as they really are
in the moment of Now.

In this moment. . .
I am SO grateful, so open, so joyful, so excited
and yet there are tears
for what is being left behind
I don’t choose to hold onto any of it
and yet there is an element of grief
as it all slips away.

As difficult as some of it has been
it has also been a precious part of me
and I know I will never come this way again
so I offer my gratitude to my human self
for having the courage to live fully,
the good and the bad, the light and the darkness,
the laughter and the tears.

I now step fully into All-That-Is
I live as the Love that I Am
I live as the Joy that I Am
I no longer need to work at anything
for I am the flow of Life itself
and if anything feels like work
I shall run as fast as I can
back into the Loving arms
of Who I Know my Self to be.

Stand Firm

Posted on by

The collective unconscious
is bubbling to the surface
through the murky waters of the past
playing out through archetypical roles
and the bane of karmic characters
the curtain’s pulled back on the global stage
revealing our interconnections
in relationship with others
relationship with self
and relationship with the Divine.

Remain present in the now
with your golden gilded heart
as you observe the antiquated stage
refrain from engaging
in the timeworn past
as the murky bubbles
surface and pop
effortlessly dissolving
returning into the illusion
from once they came.

It is your Love of self
and your Love for humanity
that has stirred these mirky waters
no longer willing to live captive
to a past that continues to recycle
the density of the accumulating silt
from the fear of the unknown.
’Tis time to Love yourself
and to Love humanity
through the chaos and confusion.

You are the Love
You are the Clarity
You are the Divine catalyst
that stands firm in the midst of transition.
Be gentle with yourself
be kind to one another
knowing that . . .
within your heart space
a New Earth is shimmering
in the wake of the still waters that ensue.

Diet of the Mind

Posted on by

The human mind is hungry for drama
for it makes it feel alive
thus it is constantly
stirring the embers of drama
to feel worthy of itself.

What if you introduce the mind
to a more enticing diet:
a diet of Love
without the need to protect
a diet of Peace
in sync with your Soul
a diet of Harmony
that spurs new creative flow
a diet of Joy
alive with laughter.

Then the mind would feel
tenderly nurtured
deliciously satiated
enthralled with the beauty of life
honored as royalty

And . . .
the incessant hunger for drama
would cease to exist.

Soul’s Innate Knowing

Posted on by

As I awaken on the morn of a new moon
I ask myself….
What is the basis of this new cycle of life?

Instead of feeling excited
about something new
I am coming up blank

My mind
is saddened by this
for it wants a purpose
it wants a new mission in life

Whereas my Soul says. . .
Ah, we are finally free of our persona
no longer needing to define
or present ourself in any particular way

We can finally live
with the natural flow of life
allowing our energy to draw everything to us

We can simply rest in the Knowing that
everything is working out
in ways our mind can not begin to fathom

We can rest in peace
the peace that passeth understanding
the peace that will eventually infiltrate every heart

And thus “we” initiate a new cycle
with the marriage of human and soul

Co-creating a new foundation
from which all things
effortlessly come into being
with our innate Knowing
steering this human vessel
this vessel of the Divine Human.
