Suffer Not


~ Suffer Not ~

The rose
does not suffer
as she drops
her spent petals
to the earth.

She allows them
to drift
effortlessly
on the songs
of the wind.

She does not
attempt to direct
their landing place.
Nor does she
morn their loss.

Instead. . .
she revels
in the sharing
of her gift
to the soil
as nurturance
for all that is preparing
to come into bloom.

Garden of Eden


~ Garden of Eden ~

To see beauty
where there is none.

To recognize
the Garden of Eden
that is still
very much alive
beneath our feet.

This is Enlightenment.

This simple change
in perception
is enough
to transform
our world.


 

The space Beyond the Mind


~ Space Beyond the Mind ~

In the space beyond the mind
your Divine Knowing
is so instantaneous
there is never
a moment in which
it doesn’t exist.

In the space beyond the mind
there is no need to ponder
nor question
because each moment
is complete
unto itself.

In the space beyond the mind
your conscious presence
is all that’s required
to manifest the dreams
that are bubbling
within you.

The space beyond the mind
is not floating somewhere
out in the ethers
it is always present
in the here and now
within your heart.


 

Learning to Trust


~ Learning to Trust ~
Trust is learned,
it is not earned
not from another
nor for another.

The Trust I speak of
is the trust
of our own Inner Guidance
our own Divine Wisdom.

Although
this guidance
has always
been available to us

WE, in our human frailty
have had to learn to trust it
and know it
as our GodSelf.

And in doing so
there is no question
of what or who we trust
for Trust is always an inside job.


 

The Search is Over


~ The Search is Over ~

The time for searching is over
for that which you
have been searching for
is your Self.

And now that you have found Her/Him,
the search is over,
every search is over.

For having found Her/Him,
you recognize
your Self
as your BeLoved.

Your Beloved,
the one who knows you better than anyone else,
the one who has the answer to your every question,
the one who will always support your deepest desires,
the one who has loved you since before you were born.

Seek no longer,
for you know all you will ever need to know
and you have all you will ever need
in the loving arms of your own BeLoved Self.


 

I Am That I Am


~ I Am That I Am ~
I’m not my name,
so call me whatever you like.
I’m not my body,
so see me as you choose.

I’m not my story,
eclipsed by old memories.
I’m not an extension of my ancestry,
I’m new in every moment.

I AM
larger than life,
beyond any name,
ever evolving,
with infinite wisdom.

I AM
omnipresent
omnipotent
omniscient
I AM THAT I AM.


 

Breathe of Spirit


~ Breathe of Spirt ~

Breathe
Beloved one
Breathe

For with each in-breath
there is an out-breath.
With each expansion
there is a clearing.

Just as the breath,
life has a rhythm
and a natural flow
growth and rest
all in perfect balance.

Just as the breath,
change is organic
energy in
energy out
a perfect recycling
in symbiotic flow.

Why clutch onto
what was?

To do so
is a slow unnatural death
Life requires
the breath of spirit.

Life requires Change.


 

Fully Open


~ Fully Open ~

‘Tis the surrendering
of our need to control life
that clears the way
for infinite Creation
to flow through us.

Trust and open fully
fully…
more fully…
even more fully.

For Creation
has been patiently awaiting
the perfect moment
for the splendor
of your awakening.


 

Song of Love


~ Song of Love ~

At the heart of it all,
there is a song
called Love.

‘Tis in the heart of man
and nature alike.

‘Tis in the heart
of every inanimate object.

For where there is form,
there is Love.

And there is nothing
without the song of Love.


 

The Need for Space


~ The Need for Space ~

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.
