Passion

Posted on by

Passion, oh passion
where have you gone
kidnapping my dreams
and desires

Leaving me
in the void
in this place
of nothingness

Alone and bored
with nothing
to stir
my appetite for life

Oh human,
beloved human
this passion
that you seek

It is the paltry passion
of the human
who is unable to see
beyond this reality

Your true yearning
is for the passion
and the dreams
of your Soul

You will not find them
in your mind
you can only find them
in the void

The void
where the mind is still
and the divine is
ever present

So rest in the void
while the mind unravels
releasing your passion
and dreams of the past

Rest in the void
in the exquisite
quietude
of your Soul

Until the moment
your soul stirs
with new
exhilarating passion

Passion that breeds
dreams and desires
that transcend
your human mind

Dreams and desires
that make your heart sing
with infinite new
orchestrations of the Divine.

You get to Choose

Posted on by

Being fully present
in this moment
is the super highway
of infinite potentials
always flowing to
and through you

You get to choose
what tickles your fancy
in this moment
without the need
to latch onto it
or create from it

You get to choose
to enjoy this moment
allowing
the next moment
to reveal itself
free of any attachment

You get to choose
to be the infinite
creator of things
yet unseen
things beyond
your imagination

You have the freedom
to choose.

Now That I am Empty

Posted on by

Now that I am empty
of that which is not mine
having released all
ancestral ties
society’s rules
religious dogma
mental programing
the need to judge

Now that I am empty
how do I choose to be filled?

Do I choose to be filled?

Or do I choose
to allow All-That-Is
to continually
flow through me
enjoying each
and every moment
anew?

Gift of Experience

Posted on by

Every experience
is a gift

There are no levels
of experience
high or low
good or bad
unless we choose
to judge them

And then the experience
becomes a mental burden
rather than a beloved gift

Being free of judgment
we have the opportunity
to accept the gift
of every experience
as a treasure
to continually expand
our consciousness
and open more fully to life.

Soul’s Passion

Posted on by

Courage is the Soul’s passion
to be fully present
with the unknown

For it is in the unknown
that all potentials await
rather than continuing
to repeat that which
has already been lived.

Magic of Creation

Posted on by

Life itself is pure magic
the sensuality of it
effortlessly drawing me
into its creation
to savor and enjoy
with sheer delight

There is nothing I need do
for my human attempts
are poor imitations
of manipulating energy
in tired old ways
reproducing more
of what already exists

By surrendering
my old ways of creating
I revel in observing
the magic of creation
with new awareness
and new appreciation

The magic of creation
is the joy of expression
with its radiance
effortlessly dancing
throughout all life
continually creating anew.

Open to the Unknown

Posted on by

Are you only seeing
what you have always seen
without questioning it?

Are you only seeing
what is being projected at you
by the media?

Are you only seeing
what other people
are talking about?

Or . . .

Are your eyes wide open
to see what others
are afraid to see?

Is your heart wide open
to consciously place your attention
on that which pleases you?

Is your mind wide open
to explore the unknown
without restraint?

Are you open
to see, feel, and enjoy
what’s been previously unknown?

Celebrate Being Human

Posted on by

 

Over many lifetimes
I have tasted
and
I have sampled
every experience
on the menu of life.

Until I’ve tasted it all
the good
the bad
and the tasteless
for how could I know life
unless I had sampled it all.

Sometimes
it was an entire life experience
sometimes
it was only a nibble
and sometimes
I savored every nuance.

No particular experience
was more successful
than another
simply different
in its texture
and its flavor.

Now that I’ve sampled
the entire menu of life as a human. . .

This is the lifetime
in which I get to choose
all my favorites
all the delicacies
and all the sweetness
that life has to offer.

Plus…. my personal chef
my GodSelf
is busy creating
a whole new menu
from all the wisdom
and new ingredients
discovered along the way.

Thus,
we have set a new table
with golden plates
and crystal chalices
under skies aglitter
with the stars from which
we traveled so long ago
to celebrate
the Joy and Beauty
of being HUman.

No Valor in Suffering

Posted on by

There is no valor in suffering
your GodSelf does not ask you
to learn through fear or pain.

Your GodSelf knows not
of fear, nor pain, nor suffering
these are old human concepts
handed down through the ages
from antiquated programing
no longer valid.

When feeling any discomfort
immediately rise
to the most expanded orientation
and view the situation anew.
This is not denial
wearing rose colored glasses
or putting your head in the sand.

This is living from
your expanded consciousness
that offers infinite solutions
rather than drawing upon
the old battle-worn experiences
that initially plummeted your energy.

Rise up, Beloveds
see clearly as your GodSelf
and take the path of Ease and Grace.

Gates of Potential

Posted on by

Reality as we have known it
has been an agreement between
enough people to call it real

When we release our need
for the approval of others
the gates of potential swing wide open

Everything becomes real to us
and we become like children again
living in total wonderment
open to ever-expanding possibilities.
