do not live in fear
let your soul take flight
discover the real you....

Home

You can make your home a thing of beauty when you create it with love, free of the tarnished outer reality that exists. The same is true of your heart and the spirit-self. Bring in only what revitalize you, that makes you shine and reflects your true beliefs.

The physical, material things are not of importance but what truly touches you and your spirit, whether it be a branch washed to shore by the sea, a rose in bloom, a collection of angels, or the warmth of old glass and hurricane lamps, it reflects your true self.

It is not what we have but what we do with it that counts. No more, and no less. Create a place of consciousness that displays your love of nature and beauty, of God's creation. I know it will be a place of light and warmth for that is who you are, and it will welcome not only you but others as well.

We honor who we are when our home reflects our inner selves, the seeds of growth that have been planted in our life. A home does not just happen, it is created with love, patience, and time. I'm sure it will be surrounded by the beauty of nature and celebrated in your love of the earth and planting and growing things.

Once you have found it I know you will plant your feet firmly there and make it a haven of all the beauty you have and love. It is a wonderful thing to have the fulfillment of your own home and a joy of creation to fill it.

You have a free passage to fulfill your dream and create a whole different world free of crowding, smog, and a landlord's control. You are free to inhabit where it is you feel drawn and to make it your own, your very own home.

Hunchback and Gargoyle

Confusion and turmoil
crossed my path one day
deciding to stop and stay
a hunchback and gargoyle
that wouldn't go away
until at last they were foiled
embraced faith and prayed

All there is is love

In order to love others we must first love ourselves. For loving requires that we must first feel love. The truth is we are all worthy of self love for we are all images of the divine living in the perception of earthly reality.

We came here precisely to experience what love is. Trust in your spirit that knows you as part of all-that-I-am. Created and creator combined. We create what we choose to believe, we create our opportunities in order to experience emotional interaction, we create choices and our ability to change.

Believe in all the possibilities that you are. Open your heart to greater self love and accept the you that is unique to the world. You are not what you do, what you have, but who you are. You are a child of God.

Our happiness comes from our inner tranquility and all knowing. Our joy is not our possessions of things but stems from our self love. There can never be enough "things" to create that love if it does not already exist.

Unworthiness is a lie of the ego judging self by past experiences which are illusions of life. This is only fear speaking. Self-doubt is love's opponent. There is no truth in it. Life is a spiritual journey of love. We travel it without knowing the outcome.

Expectations are unrealistic and limiting. God has the ability to provide for us on a grander scale than we could ever imagine. No matter what it seems to us when we practice self love, rely on God's will. He brings into manifestation an abundance that we never dreamed possible and a synchronicity that leaves us in awe.

God always works toward higher good because all-that-is is love in its purest form. Thank God!

Behind the curtain

What is to be done?
Just be willing to offer yourselves your lives.
Remind yourselves, "This moment belongs to me. It is mine alone."
My history may have belonged to others
My future I've yet to create
This moment is mine
It is the only thing that exists
A universe all its own
All else is illusion
All else is dream
And so the curtain parts
and we see the truth standing behind it

04121991

In a flash

Love sighs, "at last, I'm home."
in this recognition of self
fear exhorts "I've found the key."
escape is at hand at last
and in a flash, the moment lost

04121991

Reborn

The creator, the perceiver, knows I am
The perceived, the created is fraught with I am not
The beingness of you is the center of the universe
one with all-that-is, all-powerful, all-loving
all perfection, all knowing, and all light
even as you are the created, you are the creator
even as you are the perceived, you are the perceiver
To blend the I am and the I am not
you have called your many selves
into this world again and again and again, reborn

04111991

Already There

Birth to death
home to home
we find ourselves
explore
with willingness
seek and you'll
set yourself free
to find
what is already
there....

in the moment

in the light of truth

two people
bound
by destiny
are blessed
in essence
from God
above....

Prayer and Meditation

Begin your meditation with prayer for that is when we talk to God and the meditation is when we listen. If we begin by talking to the divine about what we would like to know, we will surely receive. It's that simple, really.

But our goal shouldn't be getting a response, but rather the act of prayer and meditation, which brings us in and connects us with the divine, making us whole, if but only for a short time. It is how we feed our spirit and nourish our soul.

10271995

inside out

Simply be still
and you'll know
from the inside out

Stop
we must

it's not hard
just necessary
here
you'll find

Finding Self

Know nothing
do nothing

meditating
floating
within
letting go
being free
finding self
at last

Not Doing

Find stillness
meditation
contemplation
mindfulness
all in the not doing
but in just being

10211995

Walk in abundance

Walk in the abundance of the universe
fearless, wrapped in the light of salvation
truth and peace will come with belief

Hold the earth

Do not wash your hands
let them hold the earth
like hours embracing seconds
enjoy nature's rebirth
believe and you'll understand

The Heavens Roar

It's only mid-afternoon on a storm-filled day, and the hills are already backlit with an ever deepening pink glow as if days-end has come early so that either the storm ends or begins an ever increasing round more boldly.

The sound of thunder continues to rumble breaking the silence here in God's country. The air is fresh, clean, and filled with the smell of wet pine. The animals have retreated to the trees, burrows, nests, and other sources of lodging.

It seems deserted without their presence, they are such a part of the world up here, and a constant source of amusement with their antics, like the squirrels, and an awe to behold with their regal beauty, as are the deer.

It seems as if I am alone outdoors as the neighbors too are behind closed doors. The garden will not need to be hand watered for a few days at least. I am just grateful the heavy rain and hail have not returned as it eroded deep channels in the hills displacing dirt and rocks in an abundance.

I am still concerned how best to create a proper drainage to channel rain and melting snow away from my house in the months to come. I'm sure some of the seeds newly planted have washed down hill to reappear in the spring in surprising new places.

The sunflowers whose blossoms normally follow the sun look up in confusion seeking in vain  that golden orb well hidden behind the clouds. The birds themselves are quiet. Not even the hummingbirds have appeared to make the rounds of the multitude of flowers.

I feel as if there is a pause as we wait to see what mother nature has in store for the day. The air is electric and I feel both energized and at peace. So much is revealed when you take time to be still and just be at one with all that is.

I feel so blessed to live in such beauty. The kitties are perched in the windows keeping track of the world. They like sitting on the fan as if they can see further from that perch, and possibly they can. Lord knows there's so much to see, feel, and experience.

Path of the soul

What brings you joy
will bring you abundance
when you move in creativity
following the path of the soul

10191995

No breadcrumb

I'm lost
in another world
of shadows
and ghosts
faces of the past
haunt my days
this my struggle
no breadcrumb
back.....

07051991

Forgive and Forget

Closed hearts
bring about pain
echoed endlessly
within the universe
darkening the heavens
until we learn
to forgive and forget

10141995

Us and Them

Us and them
me and you
make the distinction
and we become two
in foreign realms
with no notion
of what we should do

10121995

Blemishes

My mirror of hindsight
telling me all the things
I shouldn't have done
each deed a blemish
on the fairest of them all

10101995

All is right

Let's explore
our realms
these beliefs
and guiding lights
beyond crisis
and peril
where peace
reigns
and all is right

07051991

The curtain lifts

The curtain lifts
briefly, a moment
clarity is mine
expanding awareness
see it flutter
see it fly
and again,
I'm gone

07041991

Limitless

Life my miracle
my divine gift
this my mystery
to explore
unfold
discover
limitless
in love

02221991

Realm of life

The invisible realm of life
surrounds me with energy
and soothes my mind
breathes into my soul
and sets the world right
should I just but stop
and take it all in....

02191991

Locked Doors

Don't let the monster out
please keep his roar away
leave dragons be for now
the fires of consuming rage
best kept behind locked doors

10091995

Vocabulary of love

There are no time limits
beyond here the mind's free
in an expanding universe
where emotions are
the vocabulary of love

10071995

I have the power

I have the power
to call on the divine
in prayer I summon
answers and divine will
looks over me

10071995

Bloom

My thirsty soul
needs but words
of hope and joy
of promise
of wonder
to bloom with love

02181991

Be, nothing else

Don't look ahead,
nor look back...
be in the moment,
and that is all.

10181998

Enjoy

Let it be
beyond reach
the world waits
hanging out today
to be enjoyed
for what it is
not for what
we want it to be

02161991

To be me

Awaken the memory
of me, of who I am,
or was along the way
give me something
a clue perhaps
a face to recognize
a spark to alight
a glimmer of the eyes
that's all I can ask
a hope on which to cling
a redemption song
a soft melody to hum
a place where I belong
to live, love, and sing
and to be me
once again.....

02161991

Guilt and Fear

Do not give in to guilt for it is negative, unrealistic, destructive, and also useless. Accept responsibility and go on. Guilt blinds and suffocates us and leaves us feeling alone with seemingly no escape.

There is not punishment in God or in the universe. God is love, pure and simple, and we all have the God light within us. We are all special in our uniqueness as we all came here to contribute what no one else can to this world.

Fear is the distrust of eternal love. It is a disbelief in yourself. It is the most powerful of doors that closes off the word and the light of God. Listen to your heart. What are you afraid of? You must challenge fear with eyes open, heart open, and with courage.

Fear is only an empty room. Fear is only as strong as your avoidance of it. The greater your reluctance to face your fears, to accept and embrace them, the more power you allow it. Fear is the unknown. It is not reality.

It is not a matter of destroying fear but of seeing it as the less powerful force than love. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. You are safe. You are infinitely safe. There is often, a feeling of non-worth, of limitation at times of hopelessness and futility.

It is then that we cling to our fears, thinking this is where I'm safe, this is where I'm going to stay, and that is the greatest illusion. Be comforted and walk within your life in light and trust and in full awareness for nothing will come to you that is not meant to be.

All of this life's experiences enhance your awareness and serves your soul's growth. When we learn to live in joy, we learn to celebrate life and God.

12301998

With you

Your presence
a warmth
called love
that sense of safety
is like no other
with you...

02141991

Perplexed

I'm am the voice of your remembering
calling from deep within
you know who I am
in between your moments of forgetting
I am you once again
before the returning trance
renders us confused and perplexed

02131991

All Along

Truth is truth
you're the seeker
so look within
and find the divine
that's been
there all along

02131991

Beyond

I am beyond
the physical costumes
beyond the walls
lost in forgetting
my illusion
this darkness

02131991

my prayers were answered

When I kept
thoughts of doubt
from my mind....
my prayers were answered
when I expected
as positive outcome
my prayers were answered
when my soul hurt
and life needed clarity
my prayers were answered
when I set aside
my game of blame
my prayers were answered
when I learned
and accepted God
my prayers were answered

10041995

Understanding

Secrets are kept and reveled
some just a means to an end
a forced showing of your hand
know it takes time to prevail
know acceptance, make amends
someday you'll understand

02091991

Games of the heart

Choose wisely
seek not approval
cast no spell
emotional rites
pass quickly
in games of the heart

02081991

Discretionary

All so temporary
we must accept that
we're just passing thru
looking for meaning
trying to make do
our faith discretionary

02071991

Set Free

Let the light
transform
the darkness
move into it
find your angel
and you're set free

01281991

The pain

That not perfect moment
an act of love, self-denial,
there-in lies the pain of it

01261991

The world is yours

From on high you appear small
wrapped in the light of angels
struggling with self-judgement
moaning from the loss of freedom
something you've denied yourself
open your eyes, the world is yours
just let the heavens guide you

01261991

Time Encroaches

Empty
out of touch
distant eyes
vacuums of time
smile gently
time encroaches
awaiting our goodbye

01251995

bye bye

It's good to hear your voice
do we know each other?
have we met before?
another lifetime perhaps?
are you my son?
do I have children?
my mama's calling
gotta run, papa is waiting
I've got chores to do
did you call me?
or did I call you?
bye bye
