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.

Gratitude for the Soul

Posted on by

What if. . .
instead of asking
for healing
or prayers
from others
we realize
the true Power
to shift things
lies within us
rather than outside
of ourselves

What if. . .
we realize that
the anguish
we’re experiencing
is a “gift”
in service to us
to shift us into
more expanded consciousness
and ultimate well-being
as directed by our own
personal Soul path

When in the thick of
pain, anguish
or discomfort
I give thanks
for the shift
taking place
as the next step
in my Soul path
Herein lies
my peace
and well-being.

Overcome by Tears

Posted on by

So many emotions surfacing
too numerous to count how often
I have been overcome by tears

Tears of Sadness
for all that’s been lost
those who have moved on
parts of me that no longer exist

Tears of Compassion
for the pain and suffering
humanity is moving through
during these epic transformations

Tears of Gratitude
for all the experiences accumulated
over a multitude of lifetimes
and how far I have come

Tears of Love
for all the aspects of my Self
that create the whole and sovereign Being
that I now know my Self to BE

Tears of Peace
always present
in the core of of my existence
untouched by what is happening around me

Tears of Joy
as the pure essence of Who I AM
and the ability to be fully present
here in this physical body

Tears of Celebration
with the Knowing that
WE have created a New Reality
for humanity and planet Earth

All these tears
All these precious tears

The elixirs and flow
of the infinite Source
through and as us
the eternal BEings of Life itself.

Time of Emergence

Posted on by

Bringers of the Light
to you I bow down
in gratitude for your
constant commitment
to all we hold dear

Cradling the spark within
through numerous lifetimes
no matter what we faced
until this precious moment
of sacred emergence

Blessed BE
Beloved Ones
it is time
to allow your Light
to shine fully Bright.

Active Dreamtime

Posted on by

Grateful I am free of
any immediate responsibilities
with nothing I need do in this moment
giving my mind leave to drift
while I gaze out into the forest
appreciating the play of sunshine
while I savor this serenity

Meanwhile, my body and mind
are being pulled into the quiet and stillness
while other aspects of my consciousness
are busy orchestrating and creating
beyond the comprehension of my mind

This is a gift I have given to myself
as an act of conscious creation
in potent active dreamtime.

Rest in the Bliss

Posted on by

It’s important to rest awhile
in the bliss of the moment,
rather than rush on past
in search of the next one.

How you Feel

Posted on by

How you feel
is much more important
than what you do

For your actions
are always influenced
by your feelings

An action based in love
is far more miraculous
than an action based in hostility

An action based in compassion
is far more benevolent
than an action based in pity

And action based in gratitude
is far more expansive
than an action based in jealousy

An action based in joy
is far more inspiring
than an action based in obligation

An action based in peace
is far more paramount
than an action based in fear

Go deep
and feel deeply
before choosing
how to take action.

Blended Human

Posted on by

The child within me
continues to giggle
with the playfulness of life

The crone within me
has gathered the wisdom
from all my experiences

Together
they blend into a
wise
loving
compassionate
joyful
human

Who savors
and honors
all the sacred gifts
of being human
in union with
Mother Nature
who has always been
my most esteemed
partner in life.

Take a Breath

Posted on by

 

When you stop and take a breath
can you feel all the parts of you
that have scattered with the wind
attempting to manage a life that
no longer needs management

When you stop and take a breath
can you feel all these parts of you
returning home once again
to settle into the core of your heart
communing with Love

When you stop and take a breath
can you feel all these parts of you
communing with your soul
distilling the Wisdom
from all your prior experiences

When you stop and take a breath
embrace all these parts of you
as the consummation of your sovereignty
as the unity of your GodSelf.

Divine Expansion

Posted on by

Experiencing the breath
of Divine expansion
as I “Let go and let God”

Feeling all my cells humming
with an enhanced vibration
of well~being
basking in serenity
while the world around me
continues to bluster

There’s a sweet warm
self-radiance from within
and my ribs are a bit tender
from the expansion of my heart
as I breath deeply with gratitude
for the ease and grace
of our physical body’s
miraculous alchemy.
