Gentle Sweetness to Life

Posted on by

The human
who has been conditioned
to living in duality
is always seeking
something more
to push beyond their limits
to attain more success
to experience more drama
only to crash and burn
as the pendulum swings
in the opposite direction.

Even spirituality
has one on a path
of constantly seeking
more of themselves
expansion of the I Am
attainment of a higher path
the expression of goodness
eradication of darkness
an escalation of the light
a more explosive
orgasmic experience.

Between the excessive
swings of the pendulum
there is a zero point
a stillness
a silence
a point of balance
a sense of harmony
when we pause
and take a breath
the extremes
of the pendulum cease.

When we
abandon the search
of reaching outside ourselves
when we listen and abide
by our innate rhythms
a sublime pleasure
sweeps through us
and at our core
we discover
there is a gentle
sweetness to life.

Purity of the Moment

Posted on by

Having released so much
I rest in the purity
of this moment
this spaciousness
this no-thing-ness
without the desire
to fill it

Instead I allow
my new resonance
to draw to me
that which
is in harmony
with this moment
leading effortlessly
into the next
and the next
and the next. . .

Soul Breath

Posted on by

Pause for just a moment
your own precious moment
withdraw from the hubbub of life

Pause for just a moment
take a deep breath
find your still point within

Feel your Soul
breathing into you
filling you with the grace of the Divine

Feel your Soul
soothing you
transforming all that’s not of Love

Pause for just a moment
a very precious moment
going deep within

Pause for just a moment
this very precious moment
with a deep Soul breath
and find Peace.

Depth of Listening

Posted on by

The pitter patter of words
at times they are
the expression of who we are
what we are feeling
what we are experiencing.

At other times
they constrict us
from expanding
beyond the mind
where there are no words.

Consider your words
use them wisely
simplify when speaking to those
who do not speak
your spiritual language.

Maintain the silence
when there is more to offer
than mere words
for in the silence
the depth of listening heals all.

The sound of our of words
carry great power
and….
the lack of words
can be equally as powerful.

I Receive

Posted on by

I receive the first rays of sunlight
dancing upon my face
with its sweet delicious awakening.

I receive the gentle caress
of the breeze upon my skin
as it wanders its way from the sea.

I receive the swell of birdsong
as they welcome the day
enlivening nature’s harmonies.

I receive the serenity
and peace of mind
that lingers from a long restful slumber.

I receive the infinite love
that overflows
from the chalice of my heart.

I receive the joy
that bubbles from within each of my cells
happy to be in physical form.

I receive the playfulness of the faeries
as they scamper about the forest
in childish delight.

I am full
I am overflowing
I am enlivened,
there is no want
there is no need,
there is only gratitude
for the eternal flow
of All That Is.

Resting in the Peace of the Divine

Posted on by

I awoke this morning
hanging out with God
free of time and space
free of thoughts
free of words
in a sweet vibration of BEing
all that I AM
all that I shall be
all I ever have been.

I take a deep breath and linger
as long as my mind allows
and to my surprise
my mind is here too
resting in the peace
of the Divine
no need for thought
no need for words
simply the bliss of BEing.

Gratitude for all we’ve been Given

Posted on by

The rivers of expansion
have been running
powerfully fast,
more quickly than
we’ve been able
to fully perceive
sometimes caught
in the turbulence of rip tides
sometimes surfing the waves
sometimes shouting
in jubilant delight.

There comes a time
when we need to
branch off and
find a gentle tributary
allowing our boat to drift
through the tendrils of nature
to soothe and caress
to breathe deeply of the fresh air
run our fingers through the quiet water
and sing sweet lullabies of gratitude
for all we have been given.

Dive Into the Depths

Posted on by

Transition
always stirs
our unconsciousness
with clear intent.

Amidst the stormy waters,
the surface thrashes about
to clear the old debris
while tranquility
is ever present
in the depths.

Dive deeply BeLoveds,
dive into the depths
of your Heartspace
allowing
the innate wisdom
of the storm to do its job.

There is no need
to be thrashed about
when your Heartspace
is always available
as your personal
place of solace.

Dive deeply BeLoveds,
for Serenity
is your sacred gift
from the Divine.

Allowing the Spaciousness

Posted on by

Spaciousness is …
the space between each breath,
each thought, each experience.

Spaciousness is …
the womb of creation,
where you plant your seeds.

Spaciousness is …
the answer to the questions
that have yet to be asked.

Spaciousness is …
your innate
guidance system.

Spaciousness is …
the support and nurturance
of your desires.

Spaciousness is…
the core of your
Well-being.

Spaciousness is …
the potency of
All-That-Is.

Spaciousness
expands in
response to you.

The more space
you allow in your life,
the more potent it becomes.

The Need for Space

Posted on by

As the world explodes
with a cacophony
of mental chatter,
emotional turmoil
and external stimulus,
I need space,
lots
of
space.

Space between
my thoughts,
Space between
my actions,
Space between
my desires.

‘Tis the space
betwixt it all
that allows
the Divine
to breathe into me
to soothe,
to gentle,
to caress.

‘Tis the space
betwixt it all
that allows
the Divine
to breathe into me
to rejuvenate,
to revitalize,
to enliven.

‘Tis the space
betwixt it all
that allows
the Divine
to breathe into me
bringing me
back to life
as my Soul
knows itself
to be.
