Facts are facts
until they’re not.
The world was flat
and now it’s round.
Has the world changed?
Have the facts changed?
Or…. have we changed
by expanding our perspective?
Something to ponder
next time you put your faith in facts
rather than your own Inner Knowing.
The Labyrinth of Enlightenment
is a sacred soul journey
of awakening, self-discovery
healing, and transformation
weaving its way from the edges
of our carefully crafted human persona
toward the heart of our Inner Being.
Just when we think we’ve attained
the bliss and goal of nirvana
the chaos of transformation spins us
back out to the edge of the circle
for a more expanded view.
It takes courage and trust to begin
edging our way back to the center again
with our newly acquired wisdom
only to be spun out to the edges
for yet another expanded view.
This divine design is the Soul’s
loving way of guiding us
through our many layers of healing
weaving all our broken or forgotten parts
into full and compete embodiment.
Thus there is no error on our part
all these experiences are essential
to the awakening and embodiment
of the multidimensionality
of our Divinity.
Transformation is not comfortable
for the human aspect of ourselves
but when we surrender
all our fears to our Godself
the path can be one of ease and grace.
Once you reach the center
allow yourself to rest awhile
to savor the distilled wisdom
from all your experiences
before journeying back outward.
Trust that the labyrinth of enlightenment
will always lead you to the center
of your sacred Inner Being
with a more expanded consciousness
and the newly attained divine wisdom
to engage in the world
as the Embodiment of the Divine.
Listen, Listen, Oh Listen
Listen to the whispers of your heart
telling you the story of your life
coming into form.
What stories it may tell
of love and joy
yet to be explored
in the gardens
of our long lost fairytales
residing in our hearts.
What songs they may sing
of longings
not to be ignored
along this journey
of heaven on earth
revealing all that’s ours.
Our heart knows
the way to fulfillment
of passions hidden deep
and maps the journey
of life’s greatest joys
with ever flowing ease.
Our hopes and dreams
await patiently
look inside you’ll find
the womb of creation within us
ready to give birth.
Wherever we are
our heart’s there too
so take a breath and see
solutions and answers
to all our woes
as worry fades away.
Our heart heals the wounds
from all the past
bathing us in love
to offer new vision
and clear the path
blessing us with grace.
So open your heart
let your love flow free
out into the world
with open hearts
we can all rejoice
and live our dreams together.
Listen, Listen, Oh Listen
Listen to the whispers of your heart.

Lyrics for the harp by Sharon Lyn Shepard
It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
when it’s beyond
my present understanding.
It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
to grow and expand beyond
the limitations of a closed mind.
It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
without judgment and the need
to sway them to my beliefs.
It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
from a place of compassion
honoring each unique soul path.
It takes an open heart
to hear what others have to say
to create a thriving community
with the diversity shared by all.
It takes an open heart
to expand our consciousness
personally and collectively
as creators of Heaven on Earth.
Deep in the silence
within my being
a spark of light hovers
radiant and bright
elusive yet real
hidden beyond
the veils of my mind.
Deep in the silence
rests a beingness
free of time and space
free of earthly desires
patiently awaiting
the realization
of who I AM.
Deep in the silence
I find you
every time
I surrender
to the silence
of the omnipotence
of all-that-is.
It is here that I find you
deep in the silence
as the GodSelf
that is me.
The human mind can play
the game of enlightenment
but it knows not of enlightenment
for it can only draw upon
the replays of the past.
But the purity of the soul
does not harbor
any shadows of the past
it is always experiencing life
fresh and new.
We can not study enlightenment
we can only experience it
for it is through the soul
we become enlightened
not through the mind.
Enlightenment is not a goal
it is a continual
expansion of consciousness
with infinite potentials
brought into the light.
When we surrender to the soul
we are naturally enlightened
living life fresh and new
in the light of eternal expansion
with effortless Ease and Grace.
Honor your Self
by spending time
free of all distractions
for a day, a week
or even a few hours.
Sense the invitation
from the wisdom of your Soul
to fully experience
the expanded consciousness
that awaits you.
Allow your consciousness
to follow your heart
breaking free of
the old illusions
to create anew.
Immerse yourself
in your Soul’s expression
writing, artwork, music,
time away in nature or
wherever your heart calls.
A commitment made
to spend sacred time
with your GodSelf
will yield gifts
beyond your imagination.
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?
Compassion
does not require me
to join you in your suffering
Otherwise
there would be nothing
but suffering in this world
True Compassion
is the ability to hold
love within our hearts
And say. . .
“Here, this is the way home.”
There was a time when…
I needed to know
I needed to understand
before I was willing
to take a step forward.
Now… my steps are taken,
from a place of Trust,
trust in the Divine,
which is beyond anything
my mind could conjure.
Thus… when I feel an urging
to take a step forward
I know ‘tis my Divine purpose,
and there is no need
to understand in advance.
For… every step
has already been laid out
with the intricate precision
of the ultimate intelligence
of the Divine.
