Prayer

It seems to me now, that I learned to pray quietly, affirmatively for myself and for others. And so, I pray over things, in things, because of things, and in the midst of things. Oh, the importance of things. Or so we think.

Prayer is a very personal and intimate act. How and when you pray is a direct reflection of your understanding of the divine and the role of that understanding plays in your everyday life.

Prayer is the most highly effective spiritual act one can perform. Prayer, done as an active demonstration of belief in the presence of God nourishes the mind and supplies the emotional energy of healing within our beings.

The language of prayer helps to bring the mental, physical, and emotional bodies into alignment. These bodies, mind, body, and spirit, ignite the energy of the divine when they are aligned. And this helps the soul to grow, and us to be at one, as we should be, with all that is.

On Bended Knee

Speak to the divine
on bended knee
offer up prayer
to cleanse the soul
and explore within

09301995

Until Forgetting

Time slipped away
between birth and death
there was a me
that lived and loved
won and lost
from high to low
and back again
until forgetting
took it all away

09301995

Adrift

You are eternal
created with soul
beyond beginnings
and without end
without boundaries
adrift in the heavens
part of the divine

09291995

Vocabulary

Our vocabulary
limits our understanding
we've yet to invent words
to describe the divine reality
that dwells within the soul

09281995

Chains

Release the chains
of your identity
and be in oneness
there you'll find truth
in that moment
the doors of eternity
will part for you

09281995

Blank Now

Days gone and faded
faces unknown surround
some claim they're family
or friends with no names
talking about times past
memories I no longer share
an empty void with no joy
yesterday holds no treasure
those days are blanks now

Time and Space

This time and space
our own constructions
of past and future
an illusion we live in
with no beginning
nor an end
just a middle
for us to dwell in

09281995

Time Passages

You are born
with each breath
and have lived
forever it's said
foolish calendars
useless tracking
mere thoughts
always passing

09261995

Somewhere Undefined

You are an eternity
you are all ages
and no age at all
just passing by
between realms
no doors or walls
up or down either
just a now of existence
somewhere undefined

The wonders of heaven

If you want to know what to do,
you must ask, quietly within the heart,
once you do, you'll be guided
the path will be cleared of danger
making the wonders of heaven yours

09231995

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now?
time is short, not much left
big plans and dreams
are for days gone past
so, are you happy now?
soon you'll breathe your last...

05251977

let wisdom guide you

Trust is not something people must earn from us. Nor is it something we give to people who have proven themselves worthy. Trust is divine, a given, inherent in our soul. Every living being is a manifestation of divine energy and worthy of being trusted. Either you trust or you don't. Rely on divine wisdom to guide you within the realm of trust.

09221995

Right before us

Be faithful to the now
the moment you live in
the foundation of tomorrow
the attic of yesterday
where all that matters
is right before our eyes

Around the sun

The universe isn't a failure
if you choose to believe in it
we live, we love, we belong
the world revolving around
a sun we build out of our love

Lost Everything

In the beginning
at the dawn of creation
we came into form
beautiful, immortal, free
until that wasn't enough
and we lost everything

Love Well

Anyone you have loved, regardless of how briefly and no matter how badly it may have ended, you and they are now one, fused. You'll know them until the end of time. Love well.

10311995

Dwell in the now

If you are living in the past, you are not present. If you are living in the future, you are not present. If you are not present who is? Where and when are you existing? Without you there is no intimacy, no relationship, no love. Dwell in the now and be.

10311995

Clearing things up

In the now, fear does not exist. You could walk through the doorway of death in absolute peace. You're protected. In your centeredness you would know no fear, for it no longer exists. You would only know self. When fear enters your life, it is because you have moved back into history or projected into the future illusion. Faith clears that away.

03301991

At one

Let me dream again
and walk the purple vistas
of dawn's golden light
with angels as my guides
taking me to heaven
where I can finally be
at one in peace

04261991

Becoming

To be trapped in future projections or limited by your history does not serve you. Who you are is not who you were or who you will be. Life is a process of becoming.

03301991

The path

The path, is a means, not a goal nor an end. It is the journey, not the arriving. It is what we do along the way. All things done in love are accomplishments. Live with an open heart that you may learn. Our task lies in what we do that gives us greatest joy, what we do best that gives us a sense of fulfillment.

Let you heart lead the way and you will recognize the truth of your purpose. To be our most authentic self is honoring God and loving the self He created us to be. We know intuitively when we live consciously, with open hearts. To be in truth is to live in light, and to see God in all things is to live in total awareness.

Learning is an ongoing process that is not arrived at but constantly lived. To not accept growth as a constant is to deny God's wisdom, compassion, and existence. It is an unwillingness in the face of fear. To grow and give is but a joy when you learn to love life and self. It is never a sacrifice.

To meditate is to open yourself to listen to your inner being, to be totally centered, to be of the heart instead of the mind. To recognize the inner truth and to accept the peace of silence that brings tranquility.

It takes us through the doorway into the light of expansion to your soul-self and greater consciousness. This too is a form of prayer, of acceptance, of greater understanding. When we practice this individually we can make a difference in the world collectively as the light expands.

Each day we live more aware in consciousness the more rapid the growth. Release expectations and give yourself permission to more fully experience and to welcome each day as a blessing for all it contains is from God.

God's Will

Know God's will. Feel it in your heart and soul, let it guide you through your days. It will take you beyond this mortal coil and straight to heaven's gate.

Finding Meaning

The order of my universe
given to me so randomly
so I sort it slowly out
day by day, year after year
adding rhyme and verse
love a waiting addendum
all yearning to be tossed about
until the meaning becomes clear

Irrelevance

Invisible innocence
childhood disguise
left to a cold world
suffering irrelevance
my long dead eyes
watch dreams crumble

where the mind is free
the voice of God speaks

the film of distortion
that blocks out the light
and the rainbow waiting
at the edge of this storm

Elimination

to be anything other than
the divine creatures we are
allowing us to just be

09141995

Learning and Teaching

We are here to remember what we have already experienced and forgotten. We are here by choice. Life here is constant choosing. We have chosen to be born and we eventually choose to die, to be born again.

There is no reason to hurry through the experience. Take you time and enjoy the wonder of living. Truth and love are windows of the soul and fulfill our purpose. We are teachers of life as well as students, so be aware of the example you set, even to yourself.

We each come here with needs to fulfill and the abilities to fulfill them through the higher wisdom of our soul-self. The soul too learns through living. As we expand, explore, and become our consciousness grows and we experience our own Divinity, our partnership in the all-that-I-am with the universe.

We are all beings of light and at the center is all light. Nothing happens in life that we have not chosen in our search for greater truth. We choose our experiences, we call them to us, we live our beliefs.

We do this to fulfill our growth in this lifetime. When we grow through truth we experience release and no longer need that life lesson. What is no longer needed then ceases to exist for us. Recognize the experience for what it is and move on.

No need to linger. Welcome it and let it go. Wiser choices are waiting to be made. As your inner wisdom deepens your self-realization expands. Forgive yourself, let go of fear and denial. They are only illusions of ignorance.

Let your experience lead you back to the light and to self-love. We are all children of God. Allow yourself to be loved.

sans exclusivity
it's for you and me
