Between

The world is built on opposites, a duality, and between these two poles, it seems to me, we seek to become complete, whole creatures. Between shedding our self-consciousness, and taking on our own awareness, between our fears that cause us to withdraw, and love which allows us to reach out, beyond measure. Between the need for vigilance in the face of danger, and trust, which allows us to sleep. Between all this, we need to decide which way we want to be pulled.

Remedy

Prayer my remedy
particularly on difficult days
Oh, God help me
put this day to rest
let love and sympathy
bring out my best

Sunset

The sky last night, so glorious
vivid color lighting up the sky
sunset from east to west
like dawn in reverse
gold gone to peach
rose to scarlet.....
I began to feel God
His presence in the sky
speaking to me
through the colors
touching my very soul

05151996

In solidarity

A vision before me
where beauty lies
such precious eyes
clear blue and free
this binding friendship
it's own fulfillment
we in solidarity

Don't Give Up

I still pray for peace in the world. Please let it come to be, let it start with me, and so I go about my day, as best I can, trying to make the world better. And though it often seems futile, I continue, for I know that giving up won't make it be.

Between two poles

I'm between two poles
of being and been
of living and dying
a snake shedding skin
the last phase of being
until I'll be complete
reunited, whole, welcomed
with love into heaven

A Lift

Let my troubles burn away, leaving behind only the essential. Let the fire's light shine forth. May the Lord bless me and bring us deliverance in immortality. He is our champion of good, always supporting us in our endeavors, and guiding the lonely struggler, giving a lifting hand to all.

Dove Song

I dreamed a flock of doves descended from an opening in the heavens. They were looking for the Lord, but he'd already ascended, enlightened and full of love. So the birds circled the earth and shared their song. Yet no one listened. Let us learn to open our hearts, seek the doors of heaven, and hear the song of the Holy Spirit that the doves have given to this world.

06141996

Give Measure

Let me create the meaning I need through the gifts I've been given from God. Let the experience be so deep that it can only be understood through the experience of living it. We all need to use our time to explore and discover what we are, to slow down, and develop. Let us find value here, let us learn, and with each breath give measure to life.

03121998

From Love

Love has taught me how to love, even when it's gone, and I have to adjust to life alone, to sit and face myself and my loneliness, my emptiness, without distractions, and know who I am, and what I've got to give. That all comes from love.

05191996

This time

I am grateful for the quiet time this morning, not to be hurried or off somewhere, but to spend time with God and at peace on my patio. It is truly a blessing to be aware, to know I am being guided, to have a conversation with God and listen to His answers. I am grateful for this time in my life.

03102000

Fill the world

Look for me and you'll find me
between the moon and the sun
a space far out and hard to touch
where faith and love are born
filled with possibilities, yet empty
if we fill our hearts with fear
let the light of the stars guide us
let the heavens be filled with warmth
let our minds be free from want or worry
where there is light there is love
we just need to dream, to live
and fill this world with understanding

Circles

I began to believe, and in so doing, I started to see the three elements of love as a trinity, always in motion, and the three loves promised became interdependent. It would be impossible to love God without others, impossible to love others without love for self. So the circle took shape and love embraced me, making me complete.

05071996

Blessed Life

Let me contemplate in my way of living so that I always recognize a blessing for what it is, and to share those blessings with all that I meet. This would truly be living a blessed life.

05151996

Free from seeking

Give me substance where I can melt into the now. Let me be Buddha and touch the universe, entering the present, finding my true self, free from the confusion of seeking. Let me put away all else and know only what is essential.

06191996

Without Time

We shared many memories in celebration of life. My private moments reflective of our time, passing, and so came the forgetting, past, gone, present too. No future to record. Forgotten before it happens. I sit now, oblivious.... without time, and nothing to share.

03171998

Unleashed

Let go and make. To create means to relate. Help the world to fit together and make sense. We do this all the time and don't even realize it. Each time we fit something together we are creating, whether it is to bake a loaf of bread, to teach a child, we're making a better world. Our dreams become real when we unleash our creativity.

05251996

Our Words

Choose your words carefully. They can spread love, or they can kill. We need to learn to be more mindful of what we say, as well as of what we do. Speech, thought, and deeds say so much more than we know.

06111996

Presents

My son was asked by his father, "what would you like for your birthday?", and he responded, "daddy I want you!". This didn't come to be. Work was more important, and my son missed out on the love that could have been if his father would have just given his time and true presence.

06111996

Whole and Healed

To me, mindfulness is very much like the Holy Spirit. It thrives and blesses us. When you are mindful, you see more deeply, and you can heal the wounds of the soul through love and understanding. It is in living in faith do we see the miracles all around us, allowing us to be touched deeply with love and move forward whole and healed.

06101996

Creative Journey

Become the brush that paints the portrait of your life. Become the bloom that defines the beauty of spring. Become the pen that writes the poem. Become the sound of the symphony of life, triumphant in faith, at one with knowing all within. Be inspired by the angels, give thanks, and take the creative journey of becoming.

07111996

True Art

Become your truth. Discover who you are and the meaning you hold within. Feed and nourish it, let it grow. The true art of the universe is in becoming one with it, in harmony.

07151996

Greater Good

Within us all are limitless possibilities waiting to be experienced. Our is the privilege of giving birth to our dreams. We need to align with the flow of the universe, be positive and grateful for the challenges and difficulties that help us grow, and work in faith towards the greater good.

07301996

Support

Whenever we become stuck, the Lord can assist us in lifting our spirit towards a more enduring vision of life, supported by His love. He is there to guide and protect us against injustice and to help us open up ourselves to what is eternal and everlasting. Let us ask Him to help us in all situations, especially where life overwhelms us, or when we are alone and in need of His support.

May I Share

I am grateful for my children, they are the joy of my life. I am grateful for my friends, they are my lifeline. I am grateful for my mother and father and my childhood. Everything is a blessing and I am rich indeed in life.

My blessings too numerous to count. May I make a positive difference in the lives of those around me. May I bring joy to the hearts of those I encounter along the way. May I always be aware of the abundance of God's gifts and be thankful for life itself and share in praise of the Lord.

12011993

Kept in Care

I am grateful for my sense of charity that I may share. I am grateful for my sense of seeking that I may know God. I am grateful for my angels that they may keep me in their care.

12101997

This Holy Man

Jesus was already enlightened when the heavens opened to take Him away. He was the reality of life, the source of mindfulness, love, wisdom, and understanding. This made Him different from the rest of us. The son of man, He opened His heart to us, and the door of heaven to the world. The Holy Spirit is within Him, and lets Him soar like the doves. This Holy Man.

06141996

Lavish Blessings

Serenity is a sign of peacefulness within. Hope is an answer to a prayer. Joy is found in truly living and love is a blessing we should bestow on all. Gratitude is our acknowledgment of the blessings in our lives.

Me, I am grateful for my eyes that I may see, my ears that I may hear. I am grateful for my sense of touch that I may feel. I am grateful for my soul that I may be at peace. I am grateful for my heart as it abounds with love. God has been lavish with his blessings.

05071998

Seek Within

I am truly blessed as I can feel my Father, our Lord, within me, and I am at peace. Open your mind to the richness all around and the blessings bestowed upon the world. Life is good. Turn inward, rather than outward for what you seek starts within yourself. When you do, you'll know His love.

05071998

Love and Prayers

What is it of our needs that God does not supply? He knows of all our necessities and provides for them He does, in abundance. Love and prayers are needed and this He asks of us. Put your life in His hands, He will not fail you.

You are a child of God and through you He experiences all life and through Him you will experience all love. Do not set your heart to worrying for your Father has you in His care. God will never fail His children.

He only asks that we come to Him as a child would. As all children we turn to a parent in loving trust. Be not afraid for God has blessed you. Be at peace in you heart and your mind. He will send signs that you may know you're in His care and are loved. Believe always, comforted in loving joy.

12071996

He Supplies

Has God not created an abundance of beauty in our world? Has He not supplied us with an abundance of food and drink for our tables? Has He not supplied our oceans and rivers with an abundance of fish and water, and our lands with livestock beyond imagination?

Are there not so many varieties of things for us to behold that we can scarcely comprehend them? Has He not supplied trees to shelter us and a sun to shine down upon us? Have the rains not come to water the crops and quench our thirst? What is it of our needs that God does not supply? He supplies all...

12061996

His Will Be Done

Love will heal the earth if it comes from all of us in consciousness. My I live my life in the divine presence of the Lord. Created by God in His image as is everyone, no matter their color, sex, religion, nationality, or their state of mind.

For each has to find God in their own way. May I help others on their path if that is God's will. I put my trust in God to guide me. His will be done. Amen!
