Appreciation of Life

Posted on by

Peace, Love, Joy, Contentment
and the Appreciation of Life.

I did not have to work for it
the world did not hand it to me
I simply turned the other cheek
to find ‘twas here all along.

Awakening to this Awareness
is
a Gift of Grace 
for all the World.

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.

Ode to Winter Solstice

Posted on by

The eve of Winter Solstice
holds a magical air
for ‘tis the longest night,
with the richest fare.

Infused with wisdom,
unseen by most,
garnered by you
by your desire for growth.

In the morn,
the light filters in
and lo and behold
Awareness begins.

But without the darkness,
that rendered you wise,
the dawning light
would have nil to advise.

So sing ye an ode
to the bountiful darkness
for all the wonders
within the primordial womb.

Perhaps Trust is the only Action Needed

Posted on by

Do you really need
to fight the wrongs of the world?
Or can you simply
create something new and
allow the old to wither away?

Do you really need
to do all the work?
Or can you allow
the Universe to
orchestrate it for you?

Do you really need
to control your world?
Or can you allow
the flow of nature
to shape its course?

What is it you really need?
Perhaps Love
is the answer
to all the questions
you’ve ever asked.
And Trust
is the only action
that needs to be taken.

Laying Down the Sword

Posted on by

I have laid down my sword,
for there are no demons to fight.
My inner demons have been laid to rest
by the Love that has transformed them.

My outer demons were never real,
for they were only illusions of my mind.
They too have been laid to rest
by the Love that has transformed them.

If others chose to wield their s(words),
‘tis their battle not mine
for my world has been
transformed by Love,
into a world of Peace.

Concealed Compassion

Posted on by

Call upon
the Compassion of the Mother.

Go deeply, deeply into it
and you will find
that it was always
your Compassion
concealed by the heavy laden
experiences of your life.

When exposed
by your desire to Love
your Compassion flows freely
as a welcome comfort
to all who encounter
your Divine presence.

Expression of the Divine

Posted on by

I Am…
no longer shaped by the external world,
no longer shaped by what others think,
no longer shaped by the need to please,
no longer shaped by my response to you.

I Am…
shaped by the Love that flows from me,
shaped by my Inner Wisdom,
shaped by the desires of my Soul
shaped by the feelings within Me.

I Am…
shaped by my Inner Being,
that knows how precious life is
with symphonies of eternal expansion
as a human expression of the Divine.

Acknowledgment

Posted on by

The need for acknowledgment
is one of ego’s entrapments.

The Soul is too enthralled in expanding
to stop and look for acknowledgment.
For the Soul knows its true Self
and has no need for the approval from others.

Love of Self

Posted on by

Love of Self
knows no bounds.
It flows
like water
to all the open spaces
awaiting its soft caress.

Love of Self
is a sacred gift
to me
to you
and all that surrounds us.
Let it flow with ease and grace.

I Am Full

Posted on by

 

Light as a feather,
… drifting on the breeze.
Luminous as the sun,
… in all its splendor.
Beautiful as a flower,
… unfolding its petals.
Graceful as a dancer,
… each step in harmony.
Joyful as a child,
… in mindless wonder.
Playful as the faeries,
… in whimsical magic.
Peaceful as the Buddha,
… with each and every breath.
Bountiful as a tree,
… its branches heavy with fruit.
Grateful from my heart,
… to be so full.
I AM FULL ~*
