Seed of Passion

Posted on by

If you pull up a plant
by the roots,
the plant dies.

But if you very gently
push the soil away
until you discover the roots . . .

what you will find
is the seed of passion
that birthed the plant
the ardor for life
the vigor to thrive
the joy to blossom
the zeal to bear fruit.

Wisdom
lies in the seed
of the plant
and in the heart
of the child within.

Be gentle
with the seed
for therein lies your
ardor for life
vigor to thrive
joy to blossom
and zeal to bear fruit.

In Presence

Posted on by

In Presence
our Soul distills the wisdom
from all past experiences
allowing the old stories to dissolve
free of emotional discord
free of entanglements

In Presence
I Am Here

In Presence
I Am Free

There is no past
There is no future
There is only Wisdom
in the Here and Now.

Surrender to my Soul

Posted on by

When the human slows down
the Soul steps in
when the human goes quiet
the Soul shares its wisdom

When I surrender to my Soul
a magnet of passion
effortlessly attracts
all that I desire to me

Herein lies
my peace
my joy
and my well-being.

Freeing the Shadows

Posted on by

My beautiful human
who has finally discovered
the light within
that has always been.

Why do you continue
to search out your shadows
to expose them
to heal the wounds?

Do you not realize
there are only shadows
when you live by the light
that shines from outside you?

There are no shadows
from the Light within
there are no shadows
within the Divine.

Now that you have
unveiled the Light within
isn’t it time to live again
to live fully again?

The Divine is excited
to be shining its Light
through your humanness
dispelling all shadows.

The Divine is excited
to enliven your life
to live, to love
and to play as a human.

The Divine is excited
to live the joy of life!

It’s time human
it’s time to fully live!!

Precious Human

Posted on by

My beloved human
do you not realize
how precious you are?

You think your self
unworthy

You think your self
a sinner

You think your self
weak and ailing

You think your self
lacking

You think your self
unloveable

All these things
you think
with your mind

When you go
beyond the mind
beyond thinking

What you will find
is the perfection of
a cherished human.

A precious human
that embodies all the divinity
of love, joy and compassion.

There is nothing
more precious than
being human.

Serenity of Source

Posted on by

Life may seem in turmoil
as it shifts and shimmies
continually evolving
from the old into the new.

That which you perceive
as maelstrom in life
is simply the decay of the old
as the new sprouts forth.

At the very core
beneath what you
perceive as chaos
lies the Serenity of Well-being.

For, Source only knows
the perfection of life
the essence of well-being
and the joy of creation.

When we expand our consciousness
beyond our human perspective
experiencing life
as Source experiences life

Herein lies our innate serenity
our sense of well-being
our radiant health
our infinite flow of abundance.

Perceiving as Source
life takes on a whole new hue
free of worry and judgment
filled with joy and delight.

See with the eyes of Source
hear with the ears of Source
feel with the heart of Source
Be Source.

Live your Joy

Posted on by

The easiest way to uplift the world
is to live your Joy!

You may think it sacrilegious
to live your joy
when so many are suffering
but are they benefiting
by your woebegone attitude?

Lift yourself up
allow your light to shine
be the Joy of Life
which is the medicine
being called forth for healing.

Be the Joy
and watch the whole world
transform in the wake of your Joy!!

Joy is my Touchstone

Posted on by

JOY is the internal touchstone of my life
not something I attain
Joy is Who I Am
just as Love is Who I Am
and Peace is Who I Am.

Joy is also the elixir of life
that rejuvenates my physical body
allowing me to continue thriving
rather than declining with age
as we have been so erroneously
indoctrinated by social patterning.

The body only wears out
when we work so hard
to manipulate and overcome
perceived adversity
rather than living with
the natural flow of life
as our authentic Self.

Therefore, JOY will always be my touchstone.

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.

Pleasurable Desires

Posted on by

All of creation is in constant evolution
flowing with the harmonic dance of energy
to organically meet our basic needs
by our self sustaining Divinity

Energy flows with ease and grace
its only resistance caused by
our attempts to control or manipulate
energy, people, and things

As embodied Master Creators
we have the innate ability
to allow this energy to serve us
while spending our time fostering
our joyful and pleasurable desires.
