Abrupt changes in your life are real eye-openers. They help you to reevaluate your priorities, your goals, your lifestyle, your whole existence. Endings are truly new beginnings. We take time to soul search, to be more conscious. What is it we truly want in life? What is excess baggage? What do we want to hold on to, what do we want to let go? Are we content with our profession or is something else calling to us?
Often times on change is a catalyst to many others, and a searching for our authentic self. We start to take a good hard look at our life and ourselves. To make a better connection to our inner spirit. To move forward we must first release the past. Ask God to Help! Ask the angels.
We must release to find peace. To reaffirm our self-worth and to rid ourselves of negative patterns that lock us into repeated relationships and resentments. Become a student of your own history. There are so many good books out now that are aides to self examination. Others choose a professional counselor. Whatever works, use it.
They are but tools, you ultimately, are the sculptor. Be grateful for all the experiences, challenges, and blessings that shape your life. It is a growing, changing, evolving, enlightening, learning experience that is never ending.
Be purposeful in your examination. After all,what could be more important than your life, your self, your spirit, your full potential? To be the best you that you can be is to honor the divine, all-that-is, in all of us.
Believe in yourself and all the possibilities within. Allow the unfolding of a greater spirit to begin. We already have all the elements we need as a gift from the divine. We have the power and vision necessary to remove the obstacles and blocks in our lives. To create a new path in our destiny. To follow the high road and to always be grateful for the blessings in our life.

Unrecognizable
My laughter, like glass breaking
stiff, uncomfortable
without joy unleashed
a stinted sound
an imitation from one
who lives in tears
unrecognizable
even to me...

Get Ready
Have you outgrown your circumstances again? Is a new future, an new you, unfolding? Are you ready for it or are you dragging your heels, holding on to yesterday and the past? Are you clinging to your belief of limitations? Fear of the unknown?
Well get ready. The curtain is rising and it's time for a new chapter to begin. It comes whether we are ready or not. Prepared or not. Eager or not. It is process, progress, potential growth, anticipated or not. It's our next step in spiritual growth, embraced or not.
The only way to grow is through new experiences. Life is a mystery, a history in the making. We are the participants. Our role is vitally important whither we realize it or not. Each raindrop that falls makes a difference. So do we, otherwise we wouldn't have been created.
Our being is not an accident. It is divine purpose. New people enter our lives, new directions take place, new locations, new settings. Some doors close and new ones open. Voila! We're in the process.
Life is taking place, and guess what? You're a major player in yours. You're the star. Center stage. You'll discover the script and find your direction. You are being guided step by step. Listen for the messages. Pay heed to the cues you receive. Step out of the shadows and into the light. You're on!
Each of us have major turning points in our lives and we know when we're in the midst of one. We can't always see where we're going as there are many turns in the road. And there is work to do at each stop along the way.
There are pauses, intermissions, and then another journey begins. As we mature in our roles we gain knowledge, self-assurance, confidence so we are able to tackle difficulties with greater enlightenment, knowing that we are always connected to the greatest producer. God.

Today is a gift
This is a time of process, of change, and we can't avoid it. So embrace it, welcome it and whatever new beginning and new adventures it holds. Life is exciting, and never stagnant.
It holds new surprises all the time. Each day is a gift. Are we going to make the best of it? See it as the precious wonder that it is? Tomorrow it will be history, don't waste it.
Today will not come again. Tomorrow is a mystery yet to be discovered. So many people live their lives in a routine. Never noticing each day's passing as if they are in an unconscious state. For they are! Unconscious to the beauty around them, of a cloud passing, squirrels feeding, birds singing, the wind whispering.
To be conscious is to be aware of all that is in your environment and to be in appreciation. Chose to live consciously. Wake up to the world and to all life. You can almost hear a tree drinking, a flower slowly opening, the hum of a bee gathering for honey in the making.
Life isn't just doing. It's attending it in awareness. It's valuing the gift that life is. It's honoring yourself, your experiences, your surroundings and your spirit.
It's acknowledging all the wonder of the world and being an active participant. When we value more, realize more, we love more. We exist in a state of joy, no matter the conditions of our life, for we realize there is more in the everyday than we ever anticipated.
It is an unfolding of your future potential. No one can replace you. No one can fulfill your destiny but you. No one can contribute to this world what you yourself have to give.
You truly are unique. There truly is a purpose to your existence. God created you and your path out of love. He allows you to grow into it gaining wisdom along the way. Within your every step is a shadow of his, for he is with you always.
Get up and greet the day. The present has arrived.

Too many yesterdays
We have long ago lost
what to say to each other
our minds now solitary
unspeakable with too many
yesterdays gone by
without each other

The failed republic
Failed are the days of the republic
led to ruin, sullied, tarnished, broken
power, greed, a blood filled goblet
a glorious past sold out and forsaken

Without Cause
It is not clear
my life... my reason
the secret scheme
of each passing season
weathering the drought
filled storms
the self ruination
of being reborn
it takes a tremendous
amount of energy
to fight the conscious
will of me
it is without cause
without reason for being
you see, and that's why
it's so frightening
life itself now
is my enemy
divorced, even my neighbors
have turned away from me
and so it is within
the battle rages
the lights are on
I have set the stages
and I curse them all
in blunt words
of my abhorrent past
I must hold on
while my strength does last
for the curtain is dropping
and falling fast...
