Tenacity of the Mind

Posted on by

 

It can be very challenging
for the tenacity
of our human mind

to withdraw from
its addictive need
for active pursuit

but once we withdraw
into the serenity
of our soul’s cocoon

we find the seeds of
illustrious new potentials
quietly awaiting.

Dropping the Veil

Posted on by

When you finally drop the veil
you realize all the threads
that had been woven into its existence
judgment
disrespect
shame
blame
guilt
remorse
angst
struggle
suffering
pain
sorrow
regret

Woe is the one unable to see beyond
the weaving of these threads
allowing them to oppress their lives

Blessed is the one who goes within
allowing the grace of the heart
to effortlessly unravel and dissolve them.

Interpretation of Life

Posted on by

Life itself is neither good nor bad
unless we allow our human mind
to interpret it as such

The more we find reasons to feel good
even when life offers reasons to feel bad
the more often our feelings
cultivate the realization
of the true gift of life.

Quietude

Posted on by

During this time
of sacred quietude
I’m incessantly drawn
more deeply within

Effortlessly traversing
one reality into the next
via wee silken sliding boards
through portals of time

’Tis experiences
of bright new worlds
offering colorful glimpses
of infinite potentials

Tossing my soul the reigns
for what lies ahead
I know not where
I know not when
simply trusting my heart to guide.

Hands Together

Posted on by

When feeling unsure
or conflicted
bring both hands together
in front of your heart

Herein lies the melding
of heart and mind
the transcendence of duality
and the wisdom of the soul.

Fully Alive

Posted on by

When we are
fully present
in this moment
we are fully alive
we are fully present
with our Soul

It is this Presence
that activates
the wisdom
the energy
and the passion
of the Soul

It is this Presence
that enlivens
all areas of our life

It is not the highs
craved by the human self
for they are fleeting
always followed by
another craving
for another high

Being fully Present
in this moment
is being fully
Alive!

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.

Donning the Crown

Posted on by

There is a crowning moment
in everyone’s life when
we are able to look back and say
Job well done!

For some,
it’s because they have accomplished
something important to show for it
by owning magnificent things
or leaving a legacy behind

For others,
it’s the simplicity of feeling complete
with an aspect of their lives
excited and ready to move forward
for a whole new world awaits

A true crowning moment
has nothing to do with what others think

A true crowning moment
is when we feel at peace within our selves
for each decision we have made
that has led us to this moment

This crowning moment
when you put your past to rest
allowing your soul to sing
and your infinite heart to shine.

Renewed Sense of Balance

Posted on by

All the old “stories”
all the old agendas
all the old emotions
coming to the surface
to be embraced by the heart

No judgment required
No action required

Simply making
new choices
to find a renewed
sense of balance
based on our
expanded consciousness

Take a deep breath
allowing your heart
to do the work
allowing the old
to effortlessly
dissolve away
as our new
Soul Visions
take precedence.
